Sunday – a chat on Facebook between myself and Jo
09/11/2014 10:11Hetja and Esja had broken the rope on the gate and got in with the old Biddies and taken a bite out of every big bale of silage.
Got any bale tape?
I have had to open one as it was beyond economical repair, Do you need any for your lot?
09/11/2014 10:12
Yes silage is always good
I think I gave you the last of my bale tape
I will look in the fridge (we have an old disused fridge to store equine stuff in)
09/11/2014 10:13They also smashed down my barricade in the shed, and ate all the topline! (that would be a 25kg brand new bag of very expensive high calorie feed to fatten up Delia)
I left it like I left it for the minions so the biddies (Vitamin and Delia who would never help themselves) could get in if they wanted, but the big girls smashed it down and ate all the topline
they will pop (read explode!)
09/11/2014 10:15oh god
I have no tape (having looked in the disused fridge)
but I have a roll of black duct tape
09/11/2014 10:15I’ll get *** to get some on monday
09/11/2014 10:15ok
bastards
bastards all
09/11/2014 10:16
You seem to concurwith my apraisal then
09/11/2014 10:16
too right
horrid animals
09/11/2014 10:16
I have awarded your Icelandics with a new pedigree
09/11/2014 10:16
unwedded parentage?
09/11/2014 10:25

All the bloody horses were out AGAIN, Just got back from LK and I drove past, double took and reversed to find them all out in the car park with the haylage again
09/11/2014 17:30
How did they get out?
09/11/2014 17:31
Rope undone again
09/11/2014 17:31
Someone can nibble
09/11/2014 17:31
I have done a triple crofter’s knot on it this time
09/11/2014 17:31
Or do you want the security bike chain?
09/11/2014 17:31
I think the bike chain if you have it
09/11/2014 17:32
I will look for it tomorrow.
09/11/2014 17:32
thanks!
General Consensus:
No one is thin, apart from Delia. We now have an unwanted open big bale of silage which Jo is adamant none of hers deserve let alone need, apart from Delia and Vitamin who can have large piles every day.
Hetja may be eating for two, but not two hundred.
And Esja is a very bad girl. She has skills we did not know about. Hmmmm.
Oops…sounds very like my naughty pup. Spaniels are turning out to be a whole different ball game to Labradors…
donkeys did that last year, nibbled every bloody bale we were storing so wasted a lot of it, and as you know last week ate 20kg of cubes on a feed store raid….quite concur about their parentage, mine got cursed and called a lot of names and chased out to the field before I killed them all
Any link with the cold weather?
We have 2 Shetlands, 1 Welsh A , 2 Clydedales and a Gypsy Cob. You can guess who can open the gates, yes one Shetland, the other goes under the fence if possible, so all gates have chains with carabiner with screw lock…..and he still trys.
Love the facebook chat..
