She makes a shitty job both more fun & tiresome 😆
You'd swear she was bucket fed but nope, just loves people.

Leitrim suckler farming, some PB Limousin mixed in. Aonarán.
Cattle, cats, cooking & acting the eejit ❤️All views my own, mostly.
- It's with a heavy heart that I tell everyone that Squeak suffered a relapse with her vestibular syndrome yesterday & though she tried to battle it again, she passed away on my lap this evening. Some people would say she was *just* a cat but for 13 years she was our cat 1/4
- I think Squeak has had a stroke, found her earlier & she couldn't walk, is quite confused & has a tilting head 😥 Vet for her first thing tomorrow but trying to keep her comfortable next to the fire here tonight & she got some painkiller too. My tiny tabby girl 😟
00:00 - Replying to @LadyHaywireIt's never easy to lose a pet, especially one with her claws wedged firmly into my heart (plus one giant scar on my arm caused by her) She's been a major part of my life but for her, we were her whole life & I'm thankful she chose our farm to stay at. Rest easy Squeak ❤️💔
- Replying to @LadyHaywireDestroyer of Christmas trees and terroriser of rodents (plus the live bat released in my kitchen will never be forgotten) She had two adorable kittens two months after arriving her in 2011 & became a lifelong buddy to Kovu though she used to wallop him at times too. 2/4

- Replying to @LadyHaywireShe had a great long life here, and loved nothing more than chicken, salmon & sleeping on a lap/on her beanbag/in front of the fireplace. While I'd thought she'd pulled through earlier this week, sadly it was not to be, but I'm grateful she could spend her last days with me 3/4
- Vet appt at 2pm as roads are just about thawed but a definite improvement since yesterday evening so looking more like a vestibular issue than anything else 🤞 She's had more beef broth & some salmon, warm fire beside her & a hot water bottle under her bed to keep her cosy.

00:00 - You know that feeling when you see something so ingenious that you're just in awe. This 👏👏 Recycling at its best!!
- SQUEAK UPDATE 😁 It does look like just a vestibular issue so she's being kept in tonight and will be monitored tomorrow in case she needs a few more nights in vet care but it's looking quite hopeful once her bloods come back alright.
00:00 - One gorgeous, golden heifer!! I got it wrong but she's a big lady 😍 And cranky Jenny as usual 🙄
00:00 - I used to wear a silver bracelet from my late Nana day & night. Lost it 2 months ago & didn't think I'd ever see it again. But wasn't my aunt out walking earlier & spotted it on the ground on one of my usual routes!😱 Even more amazingly it was my Nana's birthday yesterday too 🥺
- Oddie had a new arrival for us during the night, a gorgeous little blue roan girlie 🥰
