Poorly Sheep


Went out into the garden this morning in my PJ's as the wee fellow was barking. Saw the two sheep by the back fence, one standing and one laid down, as Ruaridh barked the one standing started to Baa, and then moved away, I saw the one on the ground could not stand and therefore was unable to move. Called my neighbour Christine to see if they belonged to the croft and she said she would be right over. She assessed the situation and went back home to get a bottle (filled with milk and a dram of whisky!) with a teat. Managed to get some into the beast, we then placed her in a large blue bag and pulled her over into the sun as she was frozen. When we came back from the beach she was up on her feet attempting to eat grass which was frozen! Christine gave her more milk, then we placed her in the caravan for the night where she wil hopefully be much warmer.
Hope she survives the night.
Had a nice bath this morning then breakfast, before we took Ruaridh down to the beach, the weather was lovely and we had a great walk.
Back home boiled eggs and homemade brown bread for lunch Hmmm.
Spoke to mum and Layla all appears to be OK.
Minestrone soup for dinner with foccacia bread Hmmm.
Apple Pie and custard for supper Hmmm.
Cup of tea -bed yawn. Goodnight.
