No foal. Penny was fairly quiet last night and looked less like having it than she did on the two previous nights. She has gone out again today, after Lily and her foal had an hour to run around. Lily has been suffering a bit with an infection which is making it difficult and painful for her to wee.

My wonderful husband stayed with me again last night. Tonight my friend angie bobs, who used to own Penny (lots of the pics on this site are of angie bobs and Penny) has volunteered to stay with me. I could stay on my own but it would be nicer to have someone there in case I need someone to ring the vet or whatever. The company is nice too!

Doog won't be staying with us though like he has for the past couple of nights. He loved it, he kept spying through a gap in the curtains of the caravan, watching the ducks waddle past. He was beside himself this morning when he could hear the birds.

So there it is, yet another night in the caravan. You might wonder why I haven't reported any milk tests. This is because I haven't done one for the past couple of days as Penny is feeling sensitive and she's not keen. So rather than upset her I have not done it, I figure tht she's pretty close now.

I pulled Penny's mane yesterday and tidied her up a bit, tried to make her look a bit more presentable. I might pull it shorter again as I left it quite long. I didn't want to stress her out by doing it all at once.
