We’ve given his Fergus his own office chair! I was making breakfast & couldn’t find him - he was on his chair waiting to start work šŸ˜‚ Vet check was all good, Harvey had a heart murmur so great to know his sounds fine. He’s put on a kilo but still has about 1kg more to gain!

I took Fergus up to the woods early this morning to get out before the bad weather came in. Managed to get us thoroughly lost & it took us 2.5 hours to get back to the car, we did find some excellent mossy trees! Then we spent the rest of the day absolutely crashed on the sofa!

I’ve done many stressful things but turns out guiding your blind dad on & off trains/ buses to a specialist hospital in central London is one of the more stressful things you can do! Especially when the appointment is at 2pm & you don’t leave until 6pm! Utterly exhausting

I’m not used to a spaniel that hates getting his feet wet šŸ˜‚ It took so much persuasion to get him through this gate!

I had a day off today. Purely because I’ve been burning all of the candles at all of the ends and am absolutely frazzled. I ended up working for a few hours this morning as I knew the rest of the week would be hell otherwise. But this afternoon I took Fergus for ā€˜town’ practice!

Currently working on an exciting goat tech project, and part of it involves doing behavioural observations on 20 focal goats. The way they're uploaded to the app alongside their photos like mugshots really amuses me! Some posed more than others and have interesting ID notes 🤣
