In Memory R-J. R-J lived with us from June 2000 until December 2005, too short a life but such sweet memories of a very sweet gentle lad. TRUG. Trug, nicknamed Trug the Thug in his youth. Came to us in May 1992 and died an old man in January 2006. KODI. Kodi came to us in January 1995. He was a gentle boy who died very unexpectedly in May 2006. ICICLE. Icicle was a thin and scared stray who blossomed into a typical naughty goat.. CATKIN. Catkin arrived as a nervous girl who loved to be fussed but not to be held for cuddles. . SODA. Soda came to us as a starved and beaten girl from a very rough background.She grew into a fun loving happy girl who watched everything that went on here.. SAUSAGE. Sausage had 13 happy years with us after avoiding the fate of being slaughtered for meat when a piglet.. SHERPA. Sherpa was a nervous little girl when she arrived but had 16 years of being a happy terrier here. She was another big character in a little package....she never grew into her ears but always made us smile with her love of life.. HUMBUG. Humbug was a jolly character who made us smile, we miss him peering through his fringe at us. He had a heart attack when 14 yrs old and is still spoken of with fond memories of his cheekiness.. CHANCE. Chance was a gentle cow who enjoyed a quiet life with her friends, Trubshaw the bull, plus goats & sheep.. CHOP & KEBAB. Chop & Kebab came from a childrens farm where they go for slaughter after the cute baby stage has passed and had many happy years grazing here with Chance and friends.. LIZZIE. Lizzie came from a marriage break-up where she was shutled back and forth between them, so was a very unsettled girl when she arrived.She had a happy 7 years with us before a very short illness which left us in shock at her sudden passing.. SAMUEL. Samuel was a happy cat who was always around "supervising" visitors and daily events here and we miss seeing him pottering around and joining our dogs on our walks.. QUILL. Quill loved everyone, greeted all visitors, tried to climb in their car to investigate, and his party trick was to put his paws round your neck and give a big dribbly kiss & cuddle, a very loving lad.. BRUISER. Although Bruiser was only with us for just over 7 years, she died at the age of nearly 20 years as she was an OAP when she came and she made the most of her retirement home,with a sweet and determined nature...and a very loud miaow that didn't fit her petite size!. FENNEL. Fennel was a second life cat who was taken to the vets to be put down when 8 years, arrived as a terrified little girl who blossomed and enjoyed her remaining 7 years retirement with us, never had anything to do with visitors but was such a happy girl with us.. DITTO. Ditto was a very gentle cat who kept away from visitors but loved his cuddles at bedtime. Sadly died far too young and left his brother missing him as well as us.. BUCK. Buck arrived a feral, a true wild cat who threatened to take us to pieces if we approached him, so we didn't!! He had his freedom to come & go and gradually gained his confidence and moved indoors with us all. Buck was a big cat but had the tiniest squeaky wailing miaow when he chatted to us, turned into a real love.. FLIGHT. Flight arrived as a typical terrified collie who had come from a rough beginning but blossomed into a lovely girl with a waggy tail, unless there was a thunderstorm about which she hated.A shockingly short illness of only 12 hours left us reeling when she died.. JULIE. Julie came from a violent household that had her and the child cowering under a table to keep out of the way, so to see her stop shaking in fear and wag her tail was wonderful. Julie made the most of her second half of her life as she pottered on until she was 18 years old.. WHISPA. Whispa was a naughty goat as all goats are, full of mischief and getting herself into trouble if she could, such a character who was well known by visitors too. We miss her chats with us as she commented on what we were doing while working outside.. COBBLE. We named Cobble that, as it was like stroking a stone when he arrived, he was so terrified of being touched after being abandoned. He learnt to love cuddles and even having his tummy stroked, beautiful boy.. HOMER Homer was a handsome but troubled lad when he arrived and took a lot of time to learn to trust and to control his temper but he became a perfect gentleman. He had a very short illness and we quickly lost him to cancer when he was 13 years.. TRUBSHAW. Trubshaw was a great character who enjoyed meeting visitors and we loved all the fun and games we had with him over his 14 years here and count ourselves lucky to have shared that time with him..
