New Puppy!

Not really been updating but here's something worth talking about, out new puppy!

Last Friday, 19th May, we went out to Heckington to pick up our little boy, Loki. We had been waiting for a e-mail from a lady so say when we can pick him up and I never stopped marthering nanny to check. Meanwhile, we were deciding what we should call him. My first suggestion was Loki, Norse god of mischief. We went though a few names like 'Darby', which I wasn't a fan of and soon neither was anyone else. So we settled for Loki, and we're glad we did, he lives up to his name, he's a little cute ball of nuisance!

He's a pedigree Deerhound. Which is what we need because when he's older we looking to mate him the Freya and Freda so we have more puppies!!! On thing we have noticed is that he has HUGE paws, ABSOLUTELY HUGE!!! He's 9 weeks old. He's only been with us 6 days an' I love him to bits!!



The funniest thing is though he settled in as soon as we got him, he's doing well with house training as he is doing most of his business outside. I think we achieved it by as soon as he wakes up put him outside, and the same with when he drank a lot. He seems to listen to me the most, he comes (most of the time, unless there's something more interesting) to me when I call his name and even stops when I tell he to (This isn't as often but he's getting better).

Seahorses could be extinct in 30 years: Trade in dried wildlife souvenirs could see the marine creatures wiped out!!! HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS!!!  © The Seahorse Trust Seahorses could be wiped out within 30 years by the illegal sale of dead wildlife as curiosities, according to a conservation charity.   The Seahorse Trust are trying to achieve a new target to stop the sale of dried marine animals as holiday keepsakes.

INCUBATING EGGS!!!!!

Image
Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with!

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)
