Fussy Poodle, the Flu and Food Poisoning...

Hey there,

Sorry, this post can't really be long because the power went out here on the farm but I thought that I'd quickly give you all an update!

The kids seem to like the newly tiled floors, well, except Curly, it's too cold for her to lay on since it's been cold outside.

So, I put a little rug down for her to sit on and she's snoozing away right now! That rug is actually for church, she sits on it at church. Yes, that's right, she comes to church with us! It's right on the farm though. ;)

It's been so rainy and cold lately, this weather is so erratic! I've got to admit though, the house is looking so lovely! There are renovations going on around me!

I'm feeling MUCH better thank you but now my Mum seems to be getting the flu :( As I was recovering from it, my Dad bought a lovely lemon meringue but my brother doesn't like it and ate something else instead! Good for him because at 3 in the morning my Mum, Dad and I threw up! I'm glad we got to the bathroom in time! It was awful and so now, it's finally out of our systems! Thank the Lord!

Thanks for taking the time to read this little blog, I greatly appreciate it!

Tiling and Tactful Poodle!

Hey,

I apologise again for the long wait! Our house was so busy!

The tilers from our main mission branch of KSB arrived to tile our kitchen, scullery and 2 bathrooms. So, before they came, the walls had to be chipped and we had to move ALL the furniture out of the kitchen and scullery! It was like we were camping! I had to even prepare the kids food in the lounge!

It was such a lovely weekend! The signal wasn't too good and so I couldn't update sooner and also I had a touch of the flu and it's slowly going away now. The tilers did such a beautiful job!

Unfortunately, I won't upload any photo's just yet because there were so many that were taken and I still have to go through them to see which are the really nice ones! I'll also upload a photo of the newly tiled areas soon.

Poor little Blitzy had to be locked away in her room because it was just too dangerous for her with all the work being done but we did still take her out on her morning walks! Joshy was surprisingly calm and slept in a little and still came in for his food. Curly, however, was so inquisitive!! Every chance she got, she would run out and try to "help" the tilers!! How sweet?!

We were so blessed to get such lovely tiles and tilers to do the job for us! Everyone on our mission pitched in, even the children!

This has been a weekend to remember!!!

Much love,

Home Sweet Home :) x

And. . . we're back home!!!!

We went for only 5 days but I sure have missed my 3 little munchkins! We got 2 cages because Curly obviously didn't need one. Then, we rushed to the kennels! Curly was confused at first as to who it was but when she did recognise us, she was jumping up and making all sorts of funny noises!!!

We then went to see the other two, Joshy covered himself completely with his blanky and was asleep! When we called him, he popped his little head out and meowed! Gosh, they were SO excited! He was

rubbing up against my hand from behind his enclosure. Little Blitzy was in her basket and she woke up to eat. Apparently she wasn't eating very well but when she saw us, she raced to her food bowl and started eating!

We put them into their cages and set off for home! Joshy was surprisingly calmer but as we reached home, the 3 of them were getting all restless and wanted to come out!

Joshy was a bit scared to be alone outside but he's settled down now and so have the girls! Praise the Lord!

I also took a photo of 2 little dogs at the kennels! They were so cute!

 

Joshy hadn't hunted for so long that he thought Blitzy's little plastic lizard was real and he started playing with it!! Shame!

Vacation and Very Cute Kitties ;)

 

Hello :)

I felt extremely sad to leave the kids but...the holiday was just fantastic!!! We went on some lovely trails, then walked on the beach and we went on a boat ride!! It was just absolutely amazing! We can never thank the Botha's enough for blessing us with this wonderful holiday and it was so lovely spend it with them!

The Lord was really watching over the kids! I phoned the lady at the kennels/cattery and she said that Curly is fine and was being walked twice a day, Blitzy even let the lady pet her and Joshy was in his basket the entire time! They weren't eating very well though but they seemed fine otherwise! I was so happy that they were together and that all was well with them!

Anyway, we were having supper every night at the Botha's cabin and they were having breakfast at our cabin. While we were having supper the first night, a big black and white cat came meowing out of the bush. he had thee most beautiful long, bushy, black tail and was adorable! He was fed some meat and guess what happened the next night?

He brought along 3 friends! There was a Russian Blue & White looking one, a stripy silver grey one and another black & white one! They were crying for some meat and all our hearts melted for them! They sure had a feast that night! These cats were laying on the deck and acting so friendly but as soon as you came close, they would scamper off!
The next night a fourth cat showed up, he looked like a tortoise-shell and white but he didn't have any ginger on him. I couldn't get a photo of him sadly!

I've uploaded the photo's of the cats for you....

I only got to take photo's of three of the cats!

 

Thanks so much and God bless,

Unsuspecting Kids... :(

Okay, so these photo's are from before our vacation and I just wanted to show you all those innocent faces, they didn't suspect a thing!

 Curly was sleeping calmly on the morning we left...

 Little Blitzy was trying to open my bag!

And Joshy...he was sleeping beside my parent's bag! Shame, I felt so bad to take them from their comfortable spots. My parents don't usually allow Joshy on their bed but today even they felt sorry and allowed him...

Old Photo's

 I havn't uploaded in such a long time now so I'm not sure if I've uploaded these photo's before... ;)
Curly was squashing herself into Blitzy's tiny basket!!!!

Flowers and Finding A Place

Hey,

So, that grey cat that's been coming here is actually not James! He is just another little kitty!My Mum phoned Joshy's previous owners and they found James before they could leave and so off he went! Sadly, little James was knocked by a car about 2 months after he left Claridge!

But wait, there's more, Joshy had a sister too!!! The three of the were from the same litter. She was a long-haired ginger from what I heard and she went missing here in Claridge! Gosh, Joshy's whole family lived here! How sweet?!

"Charcoal" hasn't showed up for a while now!

We're going on vacation for 5 days and the 3 little kids have to go to a kennel & cattery! We found the perfect place for them, thanks to the Lord! It's an elderly couple and they seem very kind :) The lady asked if we would like to have Curly in the cattery with Joshy and Blitzy(in different cages, of course)!! How wonderful! Curly really thinks she's a cat and I don't think she would've fitted in with all those barking dogs and they would have more peace of mind knowing that they're all together! So would I!!

The flowers are blooming and Claridge looks like SO gorgeous!!!

Here are some photo's of Claridge's beautiful flowers and the kids :)
