September 2004
So far this month whee
have...
- Well what a month !!!!!!
- First of all HUGE apologies for the
current state of the website - I hadn't updated it for a while and my service
provider decided to remove the whole complete website from it's webservers
and also de-activate my account - a very big thankyou to Piggielove for emailing
me the other day to let me know my site wasn't there as I hadn't realised
! Then ensued the panic of trying to dial up to see what had happened only
to find I couldn't dial up to the webserver as I had been de-activated. A
frantic phone-call then took place to the Wanadoo [used to be Freeserve] helpline
[nice lady !] who explained what had happened and very kindly [perhaps sensing
the panic in my voice...] re-activated my account - which on the good side
meant I could keep the same domain name etc but on the other side, as the
whole site had been removed it means I have the task of spending yonks dialling
up and loading up each page of the site which luckily I had a copy of on my
hard-drive. It's a slow old process, I've tried to load up the most useful
stuff first - eg healthchecks and piggy care and am working my way through
the rest slowly but surely. I'm also using this as an opportunity to tidy
things up a bit - primarily the Meet the Pigs sections
as it was getting a bit protracted but hopefully I can tidy more up as I go.
So that's site news for now - thankyou for your patience with all the missing
bits, I'm trying my best.
- Right, onto more interesting Piggy news.
This month has seen Trixie very very poorly.
So poorly that I thought she would not make it. However ! I am over the moon
[and I exaggerate not !] to let you know she is 95% ok ! A couple of weeks
on daily painkillers, a dose of antibiotics, 2 different types of gut stimulants
[1 3 x a day, the other 1 x a day] plus hourly syringe feeds of critical care
seems to have done the trick, phew, after a bit of messy start with the feeding
[mushy critical care over nearly every towel I own, over me, over Trixie and
everywhere else except from going down her throat] I had a nice little lesson
in syringe feeding from my lovely vet and things improved immeasurably - wasn't
getting the nozzle of the syringe far enough into her mouth so she was able
to spit it back out again, ah well, we live and learn - if you ever need to
syringe feed to that degree, go and get a lesson, it doesn't half make a difference
! So, cut a long story short, Trixie's ok !
- Site 'Reload' update..... I've
now loaded up 'tidied up' pages for the 'Meet the Pigs'
section - including the individual pages for Allyson, Trixie, Splat and Billy
plus a streamlined 'Piggies In The Sky' page and also the 'Group photo' page
- I hope you like the tidier look !. So, I suppose, the 'website removal situation'
gave me a poke in the ribs to have a bit of a re-organise - every cloud and
all that ! Anyway, I'm all updated out now so no more updates today [28/09/04]
but I will carry on working my way down.....
- 29/09/04 Hoorah I've re-loaded
up the Feeding,
Entertainment, Houskeeping
and Housing
pages - I hope you enjoy all the new photos that have been added !
Thankyou
for visiting and being patient whilst we get the site sorted out !
