Pauline (one of the cow shed girls) made it home last night, i found her on the doorstep at midnight, casper my dog was whining at the door, i thought he wanted to go out for a wee but when i opened the door he just stood there and kept up the most awful whine, so i went out to see and there she was, crashed out on the porch doorstep, she has the most appaling injuries, huge bite marks and a hole in her back you could drop a golf ball in, we took her to the vet this morning and he was astounded she was still alive (she must have been like this since wednesday) he gave us a choice, try and save her or he could put her to sleep there and then, she must have wanted to live because she came home, so we opted for saving her, he gave her a course of antibiotics to take and a can of blue spray (blue is so not her colour) and wished her well, he said if she keeps on eating and drinking she has a 50% chance of survival, the wounds are infected and pip and i have spent the last hour picking maggots out of them with a pair of tweezers, it's gross, i'm stunned she came back to the house and not the cow shed, if it hadn't been for casper she would have been there all night, i've told her she can't die, she owes me 37 quid for the vet bill, that's a lot of eggs Pauline.
