hillfamily Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Got a phone call from Sarah (BHWT Sussex Coordinator) and we can have 2 rescued girls this weekend We are helping at the next rescue (end of March) and were going to have 2 girls from this rescue but Sarah had to keep 8 girls back from the January rescue as they weren't well enough to be rehomed. They're now OK for rehoming to suitable homes (feel very proud that we are a suitable home - although I think Sarah knows we're a bit animal mad after we met her the other week for a 'chat and get to know you' ) The girls are still a bit bruised and battered and will need some extra extra special care and we have been warned that they may always be a little weaker - but we don't mind They've got their own eglu so no problems with having to integrate them with our exsisting girls. Sorry to ramble but i'm SO EGGCITED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 They have names................but you could have fun guessing There may even be a bar of G&B for the winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Congratulations Pam Could the names be Dolly and Jean??? (thought twinkle was from Dinner ladies maybe)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Good guess Christian - but it's wrong Twinkle was named because she's an Amber Star so 'twinkle, twinkle little star' Although she does have similar character traits I'll give you clue............Dan would probably approve of the names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Kylie and ???? Something train related??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi Pam Good luck with your new girls, I bet you are so excited now I wonder if your girls names will have a similar theme to our girls names, just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
