            Saved a lamb this morning when we went for a walk, heard a lamb bleating it's head off so went to have a look and it had it back legs tanged in sheep wire :nonofinger:

            This is getting to common saving lambs

                Since we're talking about the kindness of other people, I have to say that a friend has been wonderful to my grandson. My friend is moving back up to Thunder Bay and instead of having the movers just pack up all of his belongings and shift them, he donated lots of great dishes and cutlery and small kitchen appliances for when my grandson gets his first apartment in a few months. His movers will be finished later today so I'll go to his house in the morning to run a mop around so the place is spotless for the new owners. Its the least I can do because he is saving my grandson a lot of money and stress! Its a shame to lose such a nice person to a faraway city! :)

                    My Dad's neighbours!! Each morning they check to see that his curtains have been opened, they pop round and do odd jobs for him, she brings him yummy homebaked treats...even meals!! He has his own ponds so he helps my Dad maintain his now. Even though we are only a 5 minute drive away is so good knowing he has them and that they will phone us if they have a concern.
                    They are my ' Stars '.

                      This is from the lamb this morning

                      Thankyou Jiffy for helping me get my big head out of the small hole of the sheep/pig wire that I manage to get stuck into after looking at that nice green grass which is allways greener on the other side for the fence, I pushed my head through the small hole but couldn't get it back because of my ears
                      A big thankyou Jiffy for saving my life

                        This is from Larry

                        Thank you Jiffy for saving me, I was just nibbling the bramble leaves when I got tangle up in the thorns, I've been there for a while and eaten all I could reach, I was also very hot and weak from being in full sun, you can along and untangle me from the brambles so once again a big thank you, from Larry the lamb :)
