Welcome to Today

Welcome to the first post on the new Scannali family blog. You will be able to keep up with all the happenings of Jayne, Stef , Rebecca and David and all the family pets.

Today saw the decision to give a home to a new chicken to join our girls, Ginge, Marmite, and Elle. Daisy ( to be known as Chloe) will arrive tomorrow - she has been a naughty girl at her present home but we are hoping that she will be more of a lady here, especially when she has to put up with Ginge! She is a bit older than my girls so we are hoping that she will carry on laying lots of eggs - we would then be up to 3 a day from the girls though no blue ones from Elle yet!

David got to name the new chicken as he lost his cat Belle to a road accident a week ago. She was frightened by a firework and we think got clipped by a car. She was too badly hurt internally and we had to have her put to sleep - she was 11 years old and we had had her since she was a 6 week old feisty kitten. She grew up to be an outdoor cat who didn't like to be handled much but we loved her little black face and strange miaows anyway (she was born with paralyzed vocal cords). Needless to say a new Scannali cat - Storm - will be joining us in a couple of weeks time. She is another Maine Coon from Darktower Mainecoons to join Taz and Tilly, the big fluffy cats that we already have. Both Maine Coons and our Abbysinian Simba, are doing well on the show bench and we are hoping to show Storm as well.
