It’s me again…….. the hummmming Hiccup……
Well, here’s me and my mate Grumble and two of those silly little boys behind me, that’s Falcon, Kiska’s boy on the left and little Clyde hiding behind me, we’ve been having fun now there is lots more grass about and Katniss’ girl has been getting us all running and ‘pronking’ around the orchard then racing into the barn and jumping off the little bank between the two, great fun, we should call her ‘bounce’.
One of the Suri girls from the big field down by the river had her baby on Monday afternoon, none of us knew Terra was going to have one yet, mind you we haven’t seen her for ages so I suppose that’s why, silly me! Our two ‘trainee staff’ suddenly came rushing up to our paddock with the van and bought them in to our barn to stay with us now, that’ll be nice to have someone new to play with.
We all followed him into the orchard when we were allowed out of the barn later on, got to make sure he is ok ’cause you can’t trust these ‘staff’ to keep a proper eye on us all the time!……..we’ll look after him.
Yes, we’ve just decided, me and the girls that is, to call Katniss’ baby ‘baby bounce’ because she’s always bouncing around and getting us ‘pronking’, look, she’s trying to get Terra’s boy to play already…….tee hee, she’ll look after him!
Talking of the girls in the river field we heard through the grapevine, well from Terra actually, that they had some excitement a few days ago when somebody tied a car to a tree on the roadside near their field…….no honestly they did, look……….
……..see, they’ve tied it to the tree, how bizarre! I’m not sure it’s supposed to have all those dents in the side though and the front looks a bit……crinkly don’t you think?
Terra said it was a bit scary to find it by the entrance into the field like that, no-one heard it put there…… they are Very strange these humans, they don’t half do some odd things!
…….talking Odd & Strange, you know our staff …well the one who is always hurting himself, the one that disproves Darwin’s theory of natural selection as he is unbelievably still with us, well he has been trying again to re-dress the balance and give Darwin back his credibility by causing his own extinction again, this time by playing with a chainsaw whilst up a ladder……..you may remember he did this a few years ago or so I hear, it didn’t end well then so what makes him think that this time will be any different?
Ok…….. he got away with it again, Darwin 0 — Nigel 1, I can’t believe he defied the god’s of common sense again…….there ain’t no justice!
Our staff took three of the boys out for a day at the local Meziérès fête a while ago, a nice day in the sunshine but lots of poking and patting on their heads gets a bit tiring after a long day but even so I liked it when I last went out, lots of new sights and loads of funny new smells.
We had to say good-bye to three of the boys recently, Haymitch, Sweep and Tribute went off to a lovely new home just outside Bellac. It is very sad when some have to leave but we can’t all stay here, some of us have to go and start new herds elsewhere, a new adventure…….but still very sad.
Ha ha…….don’t they look funny in the van, looking through the hatch to see where they are going……. love it!
Back to our group again, having a play on the little bank……..
……….bounce, bounce, bounce……that brown one, she started it ………see ya next time!
