Seeing Pepper and Dotty beak to beak yesterday, brought back memories of when I first had them at only a month old.

Dotty and Poppy beak to beak

Poppy turned out to be a roo and had to be returned to the farm where I had got her from (they were going to breed from Poppy) and I then bought home Treacle and Bluebell. Pepper and Dotty have been really close since these early days and this early behaviour still exists between them. I love that I can look back at them at only a month old and yet see this behaviour replicated now when they are adult. These two girls are still a tight pair and I don’t think this early bond will easily be broken.

Once again great photos! I just love them .
It took me ages to find them ( it’s much harder finding old photos), but I was determined as they are so cute. I had forgotten how little they were back then. Dotty hardly had any tail.
