We do love animals but..... we have a semi-wild guinea pig - escaped from the run on the lawn and now lives (contentedly it would appear) in the laundry outhouse. Amusing when you go to sort the recycling (which also happens here) and get 'chattered' to. He can come and go as he pleases, onto the lawn and off, plus the children leave him the vegetable scraps daily - he looks fabulous but you cannot catch him. We have a Shetland cross, he was a Blue Cross pony and is very old, now used as a companion pony, plus we have a beautiful Welsh Section A mare, bought for me to drive but more often used for the children to ride. My son rode her before he could walk! We also have a cocker spaniel - absolutely not my choice (although I love her dearly) it was a gift for one of the children (I promise to walk and groom her everyday - fortnight) she is now fully clipped and walked by moi. I don't really mind and she is a lovely dog, plus I can hold her up as an example when the other children ask for pets. Children? I absolutely adore children, which is lucky, as we have seven. Yes, seven.
Next year we are to have chickens, the year after that we are to keep bees. We have some bee boles here which are being restored, we won't use them as there are more efficient ways to keep bees but I do want to recreate the garden area as it was near to the bee boles, I appear to be the only person terribly excited about this, hey ho. Your dogs are really stunning the photographs are beautiful. Lovely to have horsey people on here, I do absolutely adore horses, used to ride regularly but seldom get the chance now and miss it dreadfully. In twenty years time......

I had no idea they were so BIG.
