Quite a weekend!
Posted: Sunday 8 August, 2010
Well, Lorna and I are now "officially" moved to Dalmore.
Dan, Claire and I moved the cats and Smokey up on Saturday, and Judy and Carrie brought Bugsy from Dalgety Bay to join us.
Smokey loaded beautifully and arrived cool and calm. It was great having Claire there for moral support - nothing went wrong but that's probably because she was there, if you know what I mean. I had been practising loading for a few days and he was pretty relaxed - although the trailer hadn't actually moved anywhere. Bugsy arrved about 30 minutes after us - wee boy in a big lorry. Again, Judy had prepped him well and he was perfectly laid back. He and Smokey seem to be getting along fine - for the moment, Smokey's top horse but Bugsy's no push-over.
This morning, they had a wee feed, a brush and had their feet done. I plan to take them for a short walk in hand tomorrow. The flies are terrible - but no midges - so lots of fly spray applied.
The cats have also moved up - Felix in Claire's basket on the front seat (belted in!) and the kittens in our basket on the back seat (also belted in). Meg was in the hatch, staring resolutely out the back window (rear gunner) and ignoring the yowls (pathetic from Bertie and furious from Harry) of the kittens. We sprayed Feliway and have a diffuser for the caravan, just to help them relax. Harry looked totally spaced last night.
Felix is fine - he's been out today, with Lorna and I, but I'll keep the wee boys in for a couple of days more. They look a wee bit stir crazy, so they might be out sooner rather than later.
So, here we are. Seems a bit strange but we'll soon get into a routine, I'm sure.
