Still no news on Olive/Oliver, I did buy a tradit local paper and looked under lost/ for sale etc. and I did find a breeder a few miles away selling 7 baby spur thighs, I phoned her and the babes are 2 in August which would be the same age as Olive also they are Iberas, my heart was sinking at this stage, but had the courage to ask if she had sold one to anyone in my area...and to my delight it was her first day of advertising and hadn't sold any yet...wooopie!! So you see I am still trying! Actually, I have 5 torts (Counting Olive) so I may have to buy one...I hate odd numbers ha ha

Yes at a loss to do anything else, it's up to owners to get in touch now. but will keep the posters in shops etc. for now. Not used to baby's and Just can't get over how much she eats!

I agree Sue - you have definately done your bit now - and she is in very good hands. Just enjoy her now and be rest assured you have made every effort to find the owners.

Thankyou, yes I feel happy in the knowledge that I have tried..I am beggining to feel she is mine now, but still have it in the back of my mind that she could be claimed at any time..hopefully that feeling will go. She is a sheer pleasure,very inquisitive and a joy to keep.
