Alter Ego: 6/23/13 - 6/30/13

http://petraalsbachstevens.blogspot.com/2013_06_23_archive.html

Thursday, June 27, 2013. Elli, the cat: April 1994 - 13.6.2013. She was losing weight rapidly despite us feeding her at every turn. And she was getting cold! Miserably cold. Winter hadn't really started and already she was scorching her fur crawling under the fireplace to get hot! We even had contemplated buying an electric blanket to ensure her being warm at night. And then, in the middle of the night, a faint rustling outside our window, I call and she jumps in! A quick check revealed she had de-gloved...

Saturday, January 12, 2013. What a roller coaster ride I had on Friday and Saturday! I didn't and had to go to bed feeling absolutely AWFUL! I always try my hardest to make sure all my animals have a happy content and safe life, and here was this duckling now, shell shocked and alone somewhere in the bush in the dark. Hurting someone or something out of ignorance is not an excuse as far as I'm concerned and I made a promise to not let anything similar happen again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, May 30, 2012. And what's happened since? Riley's gone home and according to his mum has picked up a different accent! He seems to have done the job well and truly as neither of the girls have come back into heat! The earliest possible due date is the 18th of September. I have been drying of Tui as well, so for now I'm just feeding them and keeping an eye on their condition. Thumbelina's nose has healed and she's putting on the pork! The teenage bunnies are going on a rampage every now and then...

Alter Ego: 9/30/12 - 10/7/12

http://petraalsbachstevens.blogspot.com/2012_09_30_archive.html

Friday, October 5, 2012. Waste not, want not! This was the weekend my darling daughter and I decided to do something with the liver, kidneys and heart of our pig Thumbelina. As a child in Germany I grew up with a reasonably revolting bland version of Kalbsleberwurst, liverwurst made with veal and as an adult had tasted the most divine foie-gras. So I was intrigued to find out what it takes to make Liverwurst, a "peasant" style pate, and whether my family would eat it. But first, I had to mince the meat!

Alter Ego: 6/24/12 - 7/1/12

http://petraalsbachstevens.blogspot.com/2012_06_24_archive.html

Monday, June 25, 2012. After a lot of tearful deliberations we had decided our pig Thumbelina had to go. I had organized the home kill man to come on Monday and spent the weekend before mentally preparing myself for it. I had also decided that I was going to butcher her myself and spent a lot of time researching and printing out diagrams. A Sunday night call about the time confirmed Tuesday then. At 2pm he arrived and by 3pm she was hanging under cover behind the rabbits. But I decided we were going to h...

OlyGirl: July 2006

http://olygirl.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 29, 2006. Steady as she goes. Nothing like a good show to inspire me to return to the blog. And not just a good show. A mind-blowing, can't-stop-thinking-about-it-the-next-day show. As in, call your husband at work the next day to discuss the details and recount the best moments. SMH and I drove up to Seattle the other night for the Raconteurs. Show at the Moore Theater. It was phenomenal. For my money, the Greenhornes. What were we thinking? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Steady as she goes.

Alter Ego: Fact Memo

http://petraalsbachstevens.blogspot.com/2013/04/fact-memo.html

Thursday, April 25, 2013. No idea. I would have assumed that with increase of age the hide thickens too, but so far the younger ones have been easier to skin and the follow-up treatment has been easier too.
