OZ MAN..........

has gained his independence from mum, Zandrea. How the time is flying at the moment.... 5 babies down and just two left to wean.

Ozzie has proved to be a lot more like mum than we bargained for... a very sweet natured young colt who is very open to learning. He has remembered his friendship with Caramel and the two of them have become a very tight unit. Which leaves poor April without a good buddy. I have a feeling that she will hook up with Shortie Pants when its her time to leave Trousers.

April really has come on and is now very approachable for cuddles and pats. She is the spit of her mother in temperament. I know that I keep saying this, but she really is Vera all over (except for the white socks and huge blaze!!) - it makes me laugh when Vera plays at being aloof and independent, cause you know she doesnt mean it.

Jakey is next in a few days time, but dont tell him ok??? Shortie Pants will be last (but not least!) however you can see her already making the break from mum.

Charlie has been a little off colour with a slight bout of colic..nothing that a good amount of oil and a shot of Buscopan didnt fix! He is fine today...

My brother Neil is up spending some time with us over the weekend. It has been good to be able to spend some time with him. It's also good to be able to be silly and laugh at the odd things that we both find amusing! It always brings to mind a time when Neil and I went up to the Gold Coast for a break for a long weekend. We went out to dinner with some friends (I think there were about 8 of us), and Neil and I found something very amusing about something - its just one of those things that you just had to be there... lets just say we were in hysterics while everyone was sitting around the table looking blankly and wondering what the hell we were going on about. I think it must be a McDonald thing!

Apart from that all is well here at Massie Lodge. Except the fact that there is no rain!

What's that?

I have no idea.

We have rain, well showers, at the moment but I would send it your way if I could. Not that we don't need it in the city but your grass and water is more important than mine. Besides, I have to pay to have my grass mown because I don't have all-day mowers like Massie Lodge. They'll all be weaned soon. Time has flown.
