<\/a>I start to remove the shavings from the shed<\/p><\/div>\n
Speckles would like to join in but is always nervous and so just watches from her vantage point.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Peaches and Barley oversee my work<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We all want to help<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>I have one last pile of shavings to take out which Topaz helpfully spreads again and looks very pleased with herself too<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>I hoover the shed while the girls form a queue in the run<\/p><\/div>\n
They don’t like the hoover\u00a0so they went back out into the run\u00a0but it amused me how they seemed to line up in a queue.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The girls inspect the newly hoovered shed<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Topaz is the first to scratch in the new shavings<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We like the new shavings that Topaz has scratched out<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We need to check out the new shavings<\/p><\/div>\n
Speckles is in her usual vantage point once more.<\/p>\n
<\/a>We approve of the new shavings<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>We think a good job has been done in the shed<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Once the door is closed the pop hole needs checking out<\/p><\/div>\n
Once again Peaches and Barley are together with their inspection.<\/p>\n
Christmas morning the girls have an extra treat of dishes of yogurt and dishes of fish.<\/p>\n
Happy Christmas everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
