Lisa Hogan has shared an update on a more positive note following a tough few days for the Clarkson’s Farm team, after one of the puppies sadly passed awayJeremy Clarkson’s partner, Lisa Hogan, has received an outpouring of support after posting a delightful update, following a series of unfortunate events affected his Diddly Squat farm.
The Top Gear icon, 65, recently disclosed that his Oxfordshire farm, featured in Clarkson’s Farm, had suffered an outbreak of bovine tuberculosis.
Compounding their troubles, Clarkson later announced the sad news that one of the puppies born to his dog Arya had died.
However, Lisa has now provided a more cheerful update on the remaining puppies, sharing a video on Instagram showing the young dogs being weighed as they squirmed and played.
As she lifted each pup, she affectionately remarked things like, “You’re so sweet and gentle,” reports Gloucestershire Live.
In her post’s caption, she noted: “Day 13 and it’s puppy weigh in day. I weigh them every 3 days, and happy to report, they are all gaining weight and wobbling around on their legs.”
She also added: “Comparison between Mr White (biggest) and Lady Lemon (tiny) is at the end, sorry, it’s a long vid as I couldn’t cut any pups out!”
Fans were quick to react, with one commenting: “Ah so so sweet look at them.”
Another fan expressed: “Gosh they are so cute!!!”
A third admirer commented: “They are all so adorable. Please look after little Lady Lemon, she is so cute.”
One follower reflected: “Puppies are a wild ride! Incredible to watch how fast they grow and their little personalities develop. Puppy breath is the best medicine!
“They look so lovely and lucky to have Diddly Squat to roam around,” one person commented, while another added: “They look so cute your doing an amazing job, Lisa xx.”
Clarkson had shared the news earlier this month that Arya had given birth, noting that while the country celebrated England’s Lionesses triumph at the Euros, there was a different kind of excitement on Clarkson’s Farm.
In a video posted on Instagram, he remarked: “Now I know you’ve all been enjoying the football, but I’ve been rather busy if I’m honest. Because look what Arya’s done.”
He then showed the camera the delightful scene of the newborn puppies nestled beside Arya as they nursed and made noises.
“Yay! I mean well done Lionesses but really, really, really well done Arya.”
Lisa had previously posted a similar clip of the pups, gently congratulating their cherished pet with a “Well done”.
“Well done Arya, our lioness of 11 and to all the other champion Lionesses! ! Quite the Sunday victory,” she captioned her post.
Responding to a comment in the thread, Clarkson revealed his role in the birth, correcting a follower who said: “Well done Arya and Lisa (who I’m sure was midwife! )” His response was: “Actually, I was!”
Fans were impressed, with one remarking: “Is there anything Mr C can’t do?” and another chiming in: “You’re now a vet as well as a farmer. The list gets bigger.”
However, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host later disclosed that one of the puppies had passed away after an “awful” couple of days.
Lisa also posted a video caressing Arya and shared the sombre news: “Sad news this morning. Mr Grey has gone to fur and feather land.”
“Poor Mr Grey, I’m sorry darling,” she murmured softly.
Adding to the misfortune, the farm has had to shut down temporarily due to bovine TB, with Clarkson delivering the grim news: “Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.”
“We’re now locked down and it’s just dreadful, absolutely dreadful,” he later said, confirming that Diddly Squat would be closed for at least two months until they can conduct another test, although he noted the farm shop would remain “unaffected” by the closure.
