Moving to ireland

We are in Ireland šŸ‡®šŸ‡Ŗ!!!!!!!!
On our way to my uncles, about 7 minutes away (it was an hour and a half to start with, from the ferry)

It's been a lllllloooonnnnngggg (long) drive, the 4 cats in crates in the boot meowing like crazy. The 2 dogs, the smaller one, meg at my feet and the bigger, Dennis, half on my lap and half on the middle seat. We started the journey the other way round but Dennis wanted to be on my lap so he tried to climb on to me which was not help full so we switched them and they have been happy (I'm abit squished but I don't mind as long as they are happy)

me and my dad went back to England on tuesday for the ducks blood tests, it all went well but we are now waiting for the results the vet said we should have the results by next week (hopefully they are clear :fl)

My mum said the ducks probably won't react to me coming back but they did I was so excited I got lots of nibbles from all of them (even the more nervous ones!)

We also went to see the horses (they changed yard to a yard that would be able to ride star and kind of test her out)
They were all chill and they said star was really good when they rode her which we are very excited by. Mocha was so happy to see me he was rubbing me and nibbling me and he didn't want us to.
 
On Monday me and my dad came back to England to take the ducks home! I have been staying with my aunt (dad had work meetings and stuff)
Yesterday we met the vet for the paper work and today we are taking them back home, every one is in the car, it smells bad and we have only been in the car for like 10 minutes i cant imaginehow bad it will be after 4 hour drive to the ferry 5 hours on the feryy and 2 hours from the ferry home thats 11 hours in the car!!!!! Its going to smell so bad! I am so excited to get them back home but also so sacred customs will take them, I don't know what I would do if that happened I know i would blame myself.

Any way we are homeward bound
 
We made it last night!! The duck we're so tired, they slept well last and are very playful this morning
I am so relieved it is over :bun šŸŽ‰

We still don't have a house!!! We stared this Christmas last year that's 7 months!!!
We also have a problem my uncles parents are coming over from England at the end of August and his mum is petrified of dogs so we cant be here!

The sellers lawyer is going on holiday for 2 weeks! Starting next week so nothing is going to get done.
We are thinking of pulling out.
We are looking at 2 other houses this week as back up plans and we are talking to a rental place in England that we can bring the cats, dogs and horses to, as we can't rent with pets in ireland it's not a thing.

Oh and another thing the horses well I am so mad, livid even, at the stables that are looking after them. Fifi is skinny because they didn't monitor her well and star is limping, I'm not say star limping is their fault we knew she had problems but I am just over all mad at them. They are ment to be really good but they let fifi get skinny! They had fifi and mocha on a bare field as mocha is fat but my mum said they would need to do some supplementary feeding for fifi as she is older and not fat but did they do it no of course not
Sorry for the rant. Ugh I just want all my animals under my care again!


If we get the rental in England we will have to leave the ducks with my uncle as we just can't be bring them back and forth.

I didn't tell you guys this but our old neighbours, the ones that where looking after the ducks didn't do a very good job, when we I went to Birmingham them to ireland their was like and inch of poo on the floor and the waters where all green, they did keep the houses relatively clean but I was not happy (we didn't bring it up with them)
Peach my poor little angel struggled the most she was really skinny by the time we got her back but I have been giving her black soldier fly lava to get her to a good weight and she is finally getting back to a more normal weight
I said I would never leave them again but here we are in a position where I might have to leave
