Wonderful last day at Wallaby Woods!

On the 27th of November was my last day of work experience in Wallaby Woods. I was very upset to say goodbye because they were so nice and friendly to me and they always made me feel at ease!

I had to leave at 2:30 due to a hospital appointment, so I made sure I did as much as I could to get things done. Anyways I went to work at 11 and me and Charlotte started by cleaning the swans and after we cleaned the rabbits.

For lunch I had some of Grainne's soup and it was very yummy!! After lunch we went to the yard and started sweeping it so it looked clean. Then I went and did the horses and after that I was collected.

Grainne gave me a card with everyone saying a little message inside it, and a Wallaby Woods jumper. I gave them all a hug and they said that I HAD to visit them again soon.

I will see them again soon because I'm going to be working there over Christmas. I was very said to leave but at the same time I was grateful that they gave up their time to let me do my work experience there!! :D

Looking forward to my next placement!!

Only two weeks left!!:O

I can't believe that was my second last week in Wallaby Woods. It has flew by. 

Today was pretty much the same as the other days, but I never get tired of it!

First I brought Mo, The owner's dog for a walk, while Charlotte was cleaning the swans. Mo is such a cute dog! After me and Charlotte fed the horses and the donkey and the goat. The donkey has a habit of biting people's jumpers and the goat has a habit of hitting people with his huge horns! So sometimes I never quite enjoy feeding the goat. He hit Charlotte in the stomach today and then after that he went and hit Paulo the donkey. But Paulo went and bit his tail after so they were even.

We fed the rabbits after lunch and we found that one of the rabbits had babies. They were so cute and small!! I'd say there was around 6-7 of them. We also fed the pigs and they are so greedy omg!! 

That was what I did on my second last day. 

Oh and also I got offered a part-time job coming up to Christmas WOO! :D

Six down two to go!

On Wednesday 13th it was my sixth day of work experience. As I said before I am really enjoying it!!

My supervisor Charlotte took the day off because she was sick, so I spent the day with Luke and Dean. They were mulching when I got down there, so all I had to do was rake it and make sure it was even. We did this up until lunch time.

We spent the day singing and talking about Christmas. It was great fun.

After lunch me and Dean went around to the animals and started feeding them. I cleaned out the guinea pigs and the ferrets! Let me just say that the ferrets were absolutely horrible, they smelt soooo bad!!

I also cleaned out the storage room so that they could fit more food and equipment in it. And after we had finished all that we went back to mulching. My arms were quite sore after because of all the raking!

Great day!!

Week 5!

Last Wednesday was my fifth day of work experience, I only have 3 weeks left oh my god, it flew!! Thankfully I didn't get attacked by the goat! I pretty much did the same thing, except I went out the back and fed the owls.

Last week I said that two baby swans came to stay with us and their mother ended up staying with them to due to the fact that the mother's partner died. They think it was an otter that attacked it. Luke and Dean brought the mother in to keep her safe until they find what killed her partner.

I never actually realised how much work it takes to clean and feed the animals. The smell of them is unreal, you have to clean them at least twice a week!!

When I was cleaning out Paulo and feeding him he grabbed my zip and started pulling it up and down. Charlotte also said that he also grabs her hat and her pony tail. Paulo is so cute I want to keep him, he's definitely my favourite animal there! My least favourite is the goat, Pebbles.

I'm actually so sad that I have only three weeks left in Wallaby Woods. All the staff said I had to visit them again. I have to say I felt like I really got along with all of them and that they liked me working there!!
