MJ. I thought you would want to see my little update on Eli.

You are a very good storyteller.

The similarities are quite remarkable. However, don't worry, after all the fights and generally antisocial behaviour there comes a day when your son will be big enough and old enough to put his arm around you and tell you he loves you and all those years of stress and discord will fade away.
If you have daughters the long term outcome may not be quite so rosy.

I’m sorry if your relationship with your daughter/s is rocky at the moment.

You've misunderstood my post.

She's OK! Fantastic. She must've hurt herself jumping down or something.

How are the chicks getting along? Is Piglet still a piglet?

Ok, that’s good. However, I do know what it’s like to have a prickly relationship with a paternal parent.

I love Piglet as a hen’s name!

Me too! But it's not a very royal name. That's why I suggested Victoria and Anne.

I don’t think she is OK. I suspect she has Marek’s. The vet drew blood for a test.
I expect to lose her, but she will clearly go down fighting.
And yes, Piglet really is a piglet.
She sometimes sleeps inside the food bowl - usually with a friend - rather than going under the heat plate. I mean God forbid she might have to walk ten paces for breakfast or a midnight snack!

Eli has a strong spirit. Poop and fly in the face of illness- I would love to be like her.
I'm more miss Pigletine though.
It must be difficult for you waiting for the result

Joyce is unhappy enough to need a vet appointment, so she's got one for tomorrow afternoon.

Her symptoms are nothing like Janet's. There's no sneezing, no facial swelling, no mucus.

She's in the penguin pose more often than not and when I gently touched her belly it felt too soft.

How did the vet appointment go ? (If I'm not mixing the time difference up.)
