They breed quickly(gestation time of only 6 weeks,always quadruplets,newborn fully mature in 12 weeks)before you know it herds of Haggi would be roamin in the Cooley gloamin.Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-83029341860562738242009-02-11T09:06:00.000+00:002009-02-11T09:06:00.000+00:00I reckon the haggi would love it up here in the co...I reckon the haggi would love it up here in the cold Cooleys :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280161801824435219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-67266048021696211012009-02-08T23:47:00.000+00:002009-02-08T23:47:00.000+00:00Hi Dominic, yes indeed, we have to be very careful...Hi Dominic, yes indeed, we have to be very careful with what we feed to the vegetarian and vegan Haggi,both are guaranteed of course to be totally meat free.This mainly pertains to dietry supplements and medicines as the Haggi are mainly grazers and foragers.We do however have to make sure the Vegan/veggie Haggi don't have a sneaky nibble of carrion or any other meat based food .We once caught one of the veggie Haggi ordering a Big Mac at the local drive through, luckily the staff there know us and always give us a tip-off.An interesting point is that the vegetarian Haggis seems to have slightly longer fur, beyond that there is no discernable difference in their outward appearance whatsoever.Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-66579497954372806252009-02-08T23:28:00.000+00:002009-02-08T23:28:00.000+00:00Hey that's great news and yes they would make a lo...Hey that's great news and yes they would make a lovely keepsake for future generations.I hope you get hundreds in the weeks and months ahead.I think postcards are wonderful, especially old ones, but of course todays postcards will be old one day.I found some once on ebay, they had been posted by a woman called Mollie in the early 1920's from places all over the world to an address in Dublin here in Ireland.The pictures are interesting but it's the exotic locations (particularly in them days)and little messages that tantalise.I couldn't manage to get all the cards as they were seperated into many lots, but I have enough to piece a tiny bit of her story together.I'd forgotten about them till I read your interesting post-thanks :)Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-12015988242067211262009-02-08T23:08:00.000+00:002009-02-08T23:08:00.000+00:00Whenever I get a haggis (which is not often) it's ...Whenever I get a haggis (which is not often) it's a vegetarian haggis. However - from what you say, all haggis are more-or-less vegetarian. Do you have to control the haggis' diet very strictly in order to market it as "vegetarian haggis"?Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-72233095983011439042009-02-08T21:28:00.000+00:002009-02-08T21:28:00.000+00:00Yes...4 of my first 5 have been received and I hav...Yes...4 of my first 5 have been received and I have received one from Colorado. I'm so impatient...I want a mailbox-ful NOW! I have this romantic notion of a quirky great-great-granddaughter discovering my collection of hundreds of postcards. Can't you just see her gently turning each one over to read?<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping that in the next week or two I will learn firsthand if this is taken seriously by most of the participants or not. Like I said a couple of weeks ago, the statistics show a high level of participation. Here's hoping the stats aren't lying!<BR/><BR/>I'll keep you updated. :)SUSAN SONNENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348324221180443517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-62643281689199428882009-02-08T16:35:00.000+00:002009-02-08T16:35:00.000+00:00Oh Susan by the way how are the postcards, any new...Oh Susan by the way how are the postcards, any news yet?Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-81398571577757647262009-02-08T16:32:00.000+00:002009-02-08T16:32:00.000+00:00Hey Susan ,thanks for dropping by.Don't believe ev...Hey Susan ,thanks for dropping by.Don't believe everything you read on the internet.The wild Haggi in Scotland are now largely extinct due to poor farming methods and poachers thus building up myth and nonesense about the creature, even to the extent of some people claiming that it never in fact existed at all and is just a joke.The Haggi we have are an Irish hybrid variety bred and reared exclusively here at castle EEjit.I'll try and get some pics to post up on the blog.Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-45334471316967565282009-02-08T16:18:00.000+00:002009-02-08T16:18:00.000+00:00You got me!
