Valentina update - introducing the little ones

Doing some gardening along the front porch and noticed her flying off to do some shopping so grabbed the opportunity to snap some photos. On tip toes with Samsung J7 Pro camera in burst mode and arm outstretched this is the best photo of the lot that was taken.

Even directly eyeballing they blend in so well and hard to see.

Valentina - breaking news

We have another clutch!



Checked the mobile bird cam this morning and she was quite active standing on the side of the nest feeding 'new' little ones.

Holly update after vet visit this afternoon-

Generally everything has worked out as we hoped it would.

Holly resting after her outing.

The in-house check of the pee sample I took with us shows protein level has dropped a bit which is good. Dr. Tony will also send off to the lab. I also reported that we have made good progress with sorting out her renal diet vs soft poo’s along with other variables like human blood pressure tablets. So... she can now go back onto the Cortisone tablets and we keep fingers crossed that doesn't upset the cart.


Holly to vet for monthly visit

At Boronia vet for her monthly check-up.

She will be 15 in June.

I need to take a lot off the top.
