On the mend

Ivy's condition is improving. Her coat is shiny, her whiskers are clean and erect, and her eyes are clear. Also her rash is fading and she is not in a sad mood all of the time.

Had a tough night due to Hazel being in pain with something (we will never know). Eventually threw some Panadol at her and we all eventually got some sleep, punctuated by Ivy's momentous coughing bouts a few times.

We are off to the pediatrician next week, cos she has had a cough since she was 4 months old. That is nearly a third of her life so far.

We are getting chooks! They arrive on Thursday. They are four Pekin bantams. They come with a coop and all the gear (water dispenser, feed thingy, foot massager...).

They will be only seven weeks old so they won't lay for ages. And once they do, the eggs will be small and not as frequent as for big chooks. We don't mind: the point of them is to keep us all amused, and to be instruments for the kids to learn benevolence on.
