    Hi Del,

    While I agree wit you its also good for those of us alone and with animals to know about some of this..... I remember one poor lady who was ill and had to have her animal to the vets and well if she had know about this, or if we had it would have been easier for her.....

    Luv Cris who is totally divided on this.... x

    I'm with you on this one Cris, I'm just glad that my friend who is looking after S whilst I'm in hospital will also be looking after my cat ...

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Hi Speedalong,

    Glad its sorted for you :D Animals are a big worry aren't they but I don't think the Cinnamon Trust do sheep :lol::lol::lol: Mind I got a lot of cats and dogs as well so I think this one might be helpful....... thankfully not for me as I have back up if I am unable but it still technically shouldn't be here. We shall have to see what the mods do..... Cris x

    Hi Cris, it sounds fab, if hard work. I love animals too. They are very absorbing aren't they?! A foal - ahh!!

    We only have a cat and fish .... - S takes up a lot of time and my class do too.

    I love furries. S loves fish. He is sadly very wary of a lot of animals, I think it is because they are unpredictable.

    Hi Speedalong,

    Oh she is really lovely! She has been helping me muck out the chicken today..... think she may have a bigger hindrance :lol::lol::lol:

    Its a good way of life but it gets hard at times but I will always fight to keep it........ I think S is a wise lad till he is bigger.... they often see small people as easy to intimidate. The foal wouldn't and nor would her mum but I have know a few who do..... hey my sheep wouldn't as long as he had custard creams or bourbons! :lol::lol: Cris x

    I thought that, for once, we should leave this on. The Cinnamon Trust are not asking for anything, and the info could be useful.
