Barney and Cuba are now on their way home with Amanda in one carrier!!
Amanda arrived with Cuba at 8.30this morning. I'd been up since 6 and hung on till just after 7.30 before texting her to say we were up and about if she wanted to come earlier than planned. If I'd known she'd also been awake by 6 I'd have phoned earlier!!. Anyway, we put them both out in the run together and after a bit of frantic chasing around, the ysettled down at opposite ends of the run. No growling, nipping or thumping from either..just Barney chasing around after her and Cuba keeping out of his way. Within 10 mins or so both were grazing, though still keeping an eye on the other. Every now and then Barney would try to sneak up on her..but he's not the most subtle boy in the world, and her alert system was obviously cranked up to max power so she was always able to pre-empt the strike!! After an hour the chasing seemed different..calmer and at some points both were lying down within a few inches of each other..though Cuba made sure she had her exit route planned!! I've got some photos downloading onto photobucket(which is so slow at the moment, as well as some short vid clips of them. As soon as I can I'll put them on here.
