Just while I’m sitting thinking, what will I write about today…. I suddenly realise it’s Freya’s birthday! She is a big 7 today. I find that incredulous that 7 years have passed so quickly.

She was our wee runtie pup and was hand reared by Erica from Holmelyne Border Collies after her mum rejected her.

This was the first photo we ever saw of her.

We’d had some prosecco in the back garden that day… it was lovely and sunny…. Course we could give her a home. 😬😳 one of the reasons I stopped drinking?! 😂

When we went down to pick her up, I cannot tell you how small she actually was. The photos don’t really do it justice. She was tiny.

She was in with a litter of black and chocolate labs that were 6 weeks old. She actually looked like a white rat running about with them. It really did take my breath away. Of course we were smitten.

She had the tiniest of ears….

Which grew very quickly!

She had a big distended tummy which is still completely bald to this day… the hair never grew in.

This is her first poo in the back garden. 😳😂

She has loved Bhru from the moment she arrived in our family.

They are pretty much inseparable. That pleases Calaidh as she just wants to be with people.

Here she is pretending to be a garden gnome-puppy!

Look at the size of her, my heart still melts a little.

Very quickly she became Dinky, Baby Dinks, Baby Dittle, Baby Dinkledoodle, Baby Dinklydoo, Deetle-deetle-deetle…. The list goes on… 😬

She makes me smile almost every day. I put Calaidh’s bowl of food down in the living room, then Khaleesi’s and every time I turn round Freya has followed me in to check to make sure I’m coming back to the kitchen to get Bhru’s then hers… I giggle that she’s checking me out and I never fail to go back through and feed her.

She just jumped up beside me….

Big girl 7…. Maybe she’ll grow up now?!!

So yeah in other news, I didn’t sleep well last night which is strange as it was the first night on progesterone. Woke at 4.45am.

It’s been torrential rain today. It just never stopped, all the lovely daffodils look flattened by the rain. It pounded our wee porta cabin all day.

We were really busy again. I got a bit flapped a couple of times but I’d ended up fasting for over 20 hours so I think I just needed to eat. I’d been waiting for two parts for two different vans ALL week and neither of them arrived again. Poor Ellison had to traipse about Kilmarnock to try and pick them up from Royal Mail and Yodel. She got one of them but the Royal Mail in Killie is only open for 2 hours a day from 8-10 so we’ll have to try again tomorrow. I hate it when things don’t go according to plan but hey, that’s life.

I made this for dinner tonight!!

It was really lovely… Craig had it too.

So that’s my weekend again…. And relax… with a few more coories from Freya!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
