Farming friends in the village are away for a long weekend, and I have offered to look after their two labs, Treacle and Muffin. They are really biddable, and stay up at the farm, so they are no trouble. Last time I looked after them, I was also feeding a pet lamb. This time, the lamb has come to stay with us - well nearly. He is nearly weaned - just two bottles a day and some creep feed. So it seemed easier to have him in the field with his mates, where I can feed him through the fence.
Along with that little menagerie, we also have a house guest for the weekend. Buddy. Another lab, who normally lives opposite, but his owners are in Ireland for the weekend.
Buddy has been spending quite a bit of time in the garden, enjoying the glorious weather. Ollie the Orphan has been spending quite a bit of time at the fence, looking for the next bottle. Ollie seems to think Buddy might be his Mum.
