My 4th hay is Oxbow Botanical Hay, this is even more of a treat hay than my Excel Herbage.
Oxbow Botanical Hay comes in a 425g bag and costs Mummy £6.63 (she must really really love me)
This hay is a lovely fresh green colour and contains timothy hay and 3 of the following herbs depending on season, chamomile, lemon verbena, lavendar or red clover blossoms.
At the moment mine definetely has lavendar and chamomile but me cant doesnt know the third one (must be a blonde moment)
The strands are medium to long and again they are stalky not soft.
Me doesnt care as me is definetely not going to sleep on them, Mummy would not be impressed at that price for bedding heeheehee.
This hay is really really yummy and me gives it a 10 out of 10.
Maybe its because Mummy spoils us with treat hay that we turn our noses up at normal hay........

Me is a Bad Patient
According to Mummy hmmppfff
Here is what has been happening, Mummy tries to get the syringe in my mouth to give me my medicine she gets really close and then I turn my head away.
Me struggles and acts like me is panicking to make her feel guilty and stop.
Me managed to bite her once, she said it really hurt wimp.
After watching Mummy struggle for ages Daddy tried to syringe me, he got really close to my mouth hit the plunger and covered Mummy in medicine, he gave up after that.
When Mummy does manage to get the medicine in me, me pulls a face and keeps chewing to make it obvious me is not impressed.
When she has finished instead of settling down for a cuddle to calm us both down me then starts biting the towel and moving about so she knows me wants to go straight back to bed.
Is that being a bad patient????
Quick update, my scabs have nearly all gone and me is much less swollen now.

Minutes Silence Please
Me is very upset, me logged into yahoo this morning and was greeted by this tragic news story
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100413/tuk-1-000-pets-killed-in-building-blaze-6323e80.html
Me thinks we should all spare a minute to send our thoughts and love to the great crowd who are travelling to the rainbow bridge.
Me hopes they did not suffer in the fire and that is was over quickly for them and that this was nothing more than a tragic accident.
Mummy is having a little cry over this story
Very sad here

Me Has Been to the Vet
Me has a skin infection in a very delicate place, girls stop reading now.... ok me confesses it is my testicle.
Yesterday Mummy was checking my boy bits as she bought me in from my mowing the lawn duties, when she noticed that one of my testicles appeared bigger than the other and was very scabby, she says she could almost swear they didnt look like that on Saturday.
Anyway this was not bothering me until the humans started to panic, they gave me a butt bath to get the area clean and then Mummy applied some GG Lavendar and Myrhh lotion.
Being a Sunday the vets were not open so Mummy had to wait until this morning before she could rush me there.
The vet told Mummy to stop panicking as the testicle itself wasnt swollen (me is a big boy anyway heehee) it was just the scabs making it look larger.
The vet removed what scabs she could and my skin is pink underneath not filled with pus, so Mummy could relax as it wasnt an abcess.
Me has to have Baytril 0.5ml twice a day for a week and Acidophilus as a probiotic as antibiotics can be bad for delicate piggy tummys.
Mummy also has to remove any loose scabs heeheehee she not looking forward to that.
Me hopes this will clear up in a few days coz as much fun as having a human fondle your testicles can be me is already bored of that game.
Me will keep you updated on my progress

At long last we have had enough days of sun for the ground to be dry enough for me and Ghost to get outside and mow the lawn.
So today me will mostly be eating grass and sleeping in my tent.
Hurray
Please send in your weather updates for where ever you are.

The Hay Review Part 3
My 3rd hay is Burgess Excel Herbage, this is a treat hay and it would be obscene to suggest using this hay as a bedding.
Mummy buys this hay in a 1.5kg bag and it costs her £4.39, well me is worth it.
This hay is a lovely light green in colour and contains dandelion and calendula flowers super yummy.
This hay is medium to long and sharp not soft.
No good for bedding which is just as well as it would never last long enough for me to sleep on.
Me gives this a 10 out 10 rating
