Heatwave

Another hot, sunny day. To be honest it was a little too warm for me – I spent most of the time lying in the shade. We were going to bring the steers and heifers in today but we thought they would just get hot and bothered being moved about in this heat, so that's been put back until it cools down (sooner than we'd like, I'm sure).

Daisy looked as though she fancied another dip in the pond, but managed to resist. She doesn't like everyone making fun of her when she does something wrong so she's been trying ever so hard to be good today and it looks as though it's paid off – she was allowed out with Skye and me for a walk round some of the farm this evening. She was very pleased with herself - skipped out as quick as a flash and even let herself be picked up whenever someone drove past. I've told her before that if she learns to lie down when she's told to she wouldn't have the indignity of having her tummy flashed to every car going past. Anyway, tonight nothing was going to spoil her fun and good for her.

Skye is in another sulk tonight... Her beloved digging machine was cleaned this morning and has gone. She watched it very carefully but never got the chance to stow away in it – she'd have gone in a flash, with no thought to the consequences (like who would feed her, would her bed be comfy, who would play with Daisy – all very important you know). We're all glad she stayed and I'm sure she will be soon.

Take care
