Rather annoyingly Suki's walking is going to have to go on pause for a week or two, as she is now in season.

The 4 remaining G2 Stickies in the Burns Cave have now outlasted their egg-mates who went to other homes!

The Sticky who lost a leg appears to have copped it as it is doing the death pose. It had been hyperactive in recent days.
Three G2 Stickies remain.

One of the Three Who Rule has been lying in a death pose all day. If it doesn't move in the next 24 hours it's a goner. They are getting up to their natural lifespan now.

It has gone to the Big Leaf in the sky. From the 15 Stickies we raised, two remain.
Their poo smells much more than usual so I suspect they have got sick and that the other two will depart shortly as well.

Suki is a bit less enamoured with her Triceratops as I had hoped for. It's a bloody G2 one as well and a hard wearing toy. There's a small bear she also got that she seems to like a bit better the now.
Cake was had last night, and cake will be had later today.
Dog friendly muffins.

Left house at 8.25am, aiming to arrive at cafe half-way to church at 8.40, have breakfast for 20 minutes, then proceed to church, arriving 9.15. (Mass is at 9.30 but with numbers limited to 100 max. due to Covid you have to arrive early to get a decent seat.)
Thirty seconds after setting off from my front door my plans were thwarted as I passed a small brown rabbit on the pavement. I stopped. It didn't want to be stroked, but didn't run away. I grabbed it and picked it up. It had wet feet from the grass, but clipped nails, which is always a blessing with rabbits. So there I am standing in the middle of a quiet residential street at 8.30 on a Sunday morning with a rabbit in my arms, wondering which door to knock on.
I tried a couple of doors that were showing life in the kitchen, but they had no idea. A couple emerged to get into their car for a drive to Brecon. They offered to put a post on a local Facebook group. Then a lady appeared looking for the rabbit, not because she knew who owned it, but because a friend had messaged her to say they'd seen a rabbit wandering around the street, and being an animal person she was curious.
I said I didn't know what to do with it and had been on my way out. She said she'd take care of it as she had no plans besides nursing a hangover, and I eagerly transferred it to her arms.
Two hours later I returned home and knocked on her door. She told me she'd found out who it belonged to. Turned out it was back a way past my house in the other direction. I now see that house has a rabbit run on its front lawn, and I can actually see the rabbit in its run from one of my upstairs windows. It had gone quite a long way on its little adventure, out of line of sight of the house where it lives.
Anyhoo, best laid plans and all that. Had to get an iced latte to go rather than a sit down outside the cafe. Didn't think I'd be standing in the street holding a rabbit for 10 minutes this morning.

Suki update - she is now getting a bit more confident in approaching other dogs, almost played with one the other day.
She has also made a human friend - a chap I used to work with, who does deliveries for one of the local takeaways. She will jump up at his legs and look for attention and doesn't bark. Was genuinely surprised when she did.
Great to see she's slowly getting better at socialising. If I am out and there are kids nearby, they all generally want to see her, so she is getting less flighty when folks want to pet her.

Suki has been sick today, diahorrea and vomiting.
She seems to be fine now, she does have form for eating things from outside, and I suspect that might have been the case. Had to replace her bedding and she was sick on my bed too.

The vomiting stopped, the diahorrea has not.
We went to the vets today - she's not overly concerned as she's still eating and drinking so thinks it will pass. A wee injection and some digestive paste to give her.
