Heidi is developing a little more attitude now and knows that crying for “fun” brings results. No tears, but a lot of running around by others.

She is getting to a routine that means just one 0500h feed, and then retires for a bit. Mumbling and grumbling for a few hours mid-morning means she can keep her keepers on their toes.

Today is a hot one again and I meet Rachel and Heidi, along with Amanda at the Brewers Fayre on Torquay quayside. I meet Amanda along the way and find Rachel giving Heidi a feed outside the pub. As the sun is shining Heidi has a little pink baseball cap on, with a neck cloth on to protect the back of her neck.

She is happy to watch us scoff our grub after she has had hers and behaves impeccably. Fred had hung out at this pub in June 2006, and enjoyed the busy environment and view across the harbour too.

Afterwards, we headed back to work and Rachel headed back home after a bit of shopping for windscreen wipers.

She is over seven weeks old now and is filling out nicely. Looking at the photo at the top of the page I now realise how much she has grown though no doubt this is also down to the quantity of food she consumes.....
