Well I have never had a blog before. I guess it is like a diary but for all to see!!??Not sure if it is for me but we shall see.
My dog just killed my only hen - how is that for a tragic start!
My husband, Alister and I were having breakfast - he was about to go to the Gold Coast for the weekend, when we heard this terrible sqreechl - it was a chook. We both ran out. Couldn't see them, in the meantime the new puppy was enjoying her catch, by the time we found them the hen was bearly alive. While Alister held her, almost throwing up and fainting at the same time, I stitched her torn body up with needle and thread - being a nurse prepares you for these situations I guess. I wrapped her up warm - she could move all limbs and flap her wings so I thought she could cope. I gave her a few sips of sugary water and an hour after the incident she opened her eyes as if to say "Nice knowing you" then she died. I am so sad. I thought if I was really strong I could turn her remains into chicken stew - but no, I put her in a box and buried her. My fault entirely - I thought I could trust her as yesterday - first day for her at home (13 weeks old) she was so good - didn't even chase them, and the previous owner said she would probably just round them up. Well not to be. Well if anyone bothers to read this first instalment of my life they will probably not bother again. Tomorrow if you dear I shall tell you a little about myself.
