Poor Reggie broke his leg

We've had a big week. Last week we lost Rosie and this week Reggie broke his leg. We think he was trying to jump over the fence because he was bored and lonely. He has a clean fracture of his leg, so he spent a few days at the Vet hospital and now has 4 pins and two clamps to hold the bone together. We brought him home today and he is looking very sad and miserable. Amazingly, he wants to hop around on his three legs and the Vet has told us to make sure that he rests. For those of you who know Reggie - that will be hard for him to do.

Anyway, for today at least, he has some nice sleeping pills to keep him snoozing in his bed - here is a photo of him today. He will have the pins and clamps in for 8 weeks, then he should be back to normal and bounding around like he was before. I hope so.

Hi Helen and James
Great photo of poor Reggie. He is looking so forlorn, but will be back bouncing around again before you know it!
Love the veggie photos too. Love to turn some of those pumpkins into soup ! the pumpkin over here in Fiji is very watery ! must have been the floods ... ha ha
Take care Love Chez and Sime xx
