Little Himself, aka Albie, is doing well.
He is still fed twice a day – once in the morning (1 litre of milk and a scoop of hard feed) and then again in the afternoon (1litre of milk).
I always tip up his bowl with my foot.
It makes it easier for Albie to get the last drops.
And then there is Storm who arrives far too quickly.
Albie is not keen on sharing his milk. His little bottom whirrs round like the armed turret on the top of an army tank. He is not afraid to tell anyone what he thinks!
None shall share.
(not even little blue-eyed Tiddles).
Then there is the statutory game with the milk bottle. A necessity rather than habit.
Today, I brought Albie in as I wanted to try rugs on him. The weather is going to deteriorate and Daisy and I have been thinking that Albie may be losing weight. We settled on this rather nifty number.
It fits a treat and Albie looks very smart in it.
I took Albie back out to his field, where Storm was waiting for him. He leads very well on a headcollar – always has. Such lovely manners.
And then the Shetland ponies had to examine him thoroughly.
Very thoroughly, if he would just stay still long enough.
Funnily little ponies. Look at Tor’s body language. She doesn’t want anyone near her little foster boy.
She does care. I know she says she doesn’t but she does (secretly).
just look at him galloping to you! brings a smile – a big one!
and all the inquisitive noseys….
Albie is so cuuuute! It’s heartening that Tor is protective of him. You’re looking quite svelte — who knew there could be an upside to anaphylaxis? (bet you’d still like your old life back though) Hope each day you’re feeling a little better….xo
That rug fits him beautifully doesnt it 🙂 and yes Tor does love him really. Look at you Frances – skinny minnie , looking really well too.
Tor does love Albie now that YOU feed him. And you are looking mighty fine there too. Love the full Minion Group shot to remember how tiny Albie is right now.
The rug fits Albie so perfectly! And how nice to see Mama Tor so concerned…
Yes you do look very slim Frances. The horses look great too.
