The all-clear at the vet yesterday 👏
#spikethefoxie had 4 lipomas removed last week, one of them tennis ball sized. Two more days of cone wearing and we're back to normal.

Now that looks like summer!

Glad to hear you're managing. Aging sucks, but the alternative isn't necessarily what we all want either.

We had the vet all clear yesterday. He learnt how to take the cone off, so two sites had sutures removed. Another two days of cone wearing, then back to normal life!!

We've got another week of complete immobilisation to ensure proper healing, and he doesn't understand why he has to wear a cone and be confined to his crate 😵‍💫
Hopefully things are going well for you and Janet.

Thanks Graham. Yes, he had a number of benign lipomas removed - the largest was tennis ball sized and hiding under his shoulder. A bit scary with the worst case scenario being a leg amputation. But we got it early enough to avoid that.

Yes!

He caught it.

He'll always be our baby, and this week, he turned 10! 💕

His first birthday without his sister, he's had a lot of change, but he's doing well now.

My good boy.

Indoor? Not that it seems to matter with these guys!

He is a handsome guy. And what a backdrop! 😍

😂😂 the truth.

For me, Sydney is the greatest city on the planet, and I loved every second of 27 years I lived there. The beaches, the harbour, the climate, the access to culture, the opportunities ❤️. But rural life agrees with me more these days!

😂 I'm not usually superstitious, but when we moved here, every time we named a chicken it was taken by a quoll, fox or snake. So the only poultry with names are my hand-raised muscovy, Sandy (who now lives with the flock in her own coop) and David the Pekin, who we rescued when friends divorced.

The closest I've been to anything like that was the Aiguille du Midi Skywalk in Chamonix. But only because it was a foggy day!!

This looks terrifying to me!! 😵‍💫

These 4 beautiful #muscovyduck hens are joining our rag tag team of ageing poultry.

Bring on the additional duck eggs!

The things you see when wandering around Circular Quay, Sydney.

This is awesome! So smart and confident 😂😂

😂😂😂 maybe that's why there were so many deceased husbands!

The accompanying symphony is so soothing.

I love Mondays.

I love that you've brought this tradition over! I'm going to have to participate too.

Such hypocrisy in Trump's policies!
This is my favourite bit; "It just so happens that someone had that tip and was not willing to release it until after her death,"

Daisy (dirty face) and Faith, so fully enjoying a perfect dog beach day. 2/2

A big day on the beach for these 3 today! 1/2

What a cutie! 😍
Great head tilt, too!

It was short but intense. We're guessing over 100 trees down just at our place, 16 of them across the driveway - it was basically all day before we could even leave the property. At least we'll have no shortage of firewood this winter!

All good, but around 100 trees down on our place in total. Lots of chainsawing!!

😁 yes, have a look at my most recent post!
