Spinney on day four

Well Spinney and Miya are both very well. Miya has had some time out to have a play in the snow and to do a little shaping. She loves working things out and she enjoyed a few minutes learning to lay on a piece of carpet.

Spinney on the other hand seems to love nothing more than spending his spare time at the milk bar!! I was suprised at yesterdays weigh in when he tipped the scales at a whopping 703 gms!! You should have seen my chin drop at tonight's weigh in. I even checked the scales!! He is now 840 gms!!

We have been using soft toys to imitate litter mates, Fen had a meerkat for Christmas that he has kindly donated (don't tell him as he hasn't missed it yet!) Its a brilliant tool to try to push Spinney off a teat, he is so strong I haven't actually managed to get him of one yet but we do manage to get him to fight for his place at the milk bar!! Well he needs some exercise.

We are finding him cuddled up with his toys more and more, after he had spent his first 2 days hiding under Mi's back legs! He started is training today, spending 3 seconds on his back in the palm of my hand and having a cotton bud gently rubbed between his toes.
