13/3/24

The humans deserted us today. How dare they do this. I shall have a word with them tonight. It is Wednesday and golf day for His Lordship. I heard the Mistress say she had some shopping to do and a car wash. Does she realize that the more she buys the more she has to pack. Female shoppers have methods for their madness and can always justify the reasons to purchase. This is a bit of a female psychology that I shall never understand.

When the drizzle stopped, Trixie and I went out to check on this menagerie of chooks, roosters and bantams. There were even baby chooks. Gosh, they all do make a noise!  It was quite deafening at times too. They have these weird habits of moving the dirt around they are pecking like mad while chirping funny noises. Some of them fight with each other too. They have a huge yard to go about their habits and still annoy each other. 

There is this white cat, and he goes to the Guinea Pigs and terrorizes them. He sits right beside the wire, and they seem to know that he cannot get to them. My guess is they are probably laughing at him. 

We went off to search for the baby guinea pigs and found that His Lordship had shifted their cage. How were we to find them now? Maybe they are too small to be going outside yet. I wondered what they eat. Trixie says that the mum could be feeding them her milk. I guess that figures. 

Finding the ducks around and on the pond was interesting. They dig around a bit too. It appears that most of the bird life here just dig, in the soil or water for their food. Jeepers they seem to work mighty hard to fill their tummies! They do this all day long. I wondered if they could wear their beaks out. Trixie thought this was really funny. they may get new ones at the Warehouse where everyone gets a bargain. 

We thought we had struck gold finding a white egg under a bush and not a gold one either. His Lordship gathers these up every day. The lady of the house sells these each week we hear. My head wondered off dreaming about finding golden eggs. Arh well dreams are free.

Tomorrow we are off to Waimate to catch up with friends and family and are taking the caravan with us for 2 days.

Gee, this might mean that I can't get on here. We shall see what happens.
