New methods of resistance are being sought to fight the crows. We have ordered some stickers to go on the window in the shape of birds of prey. Now we just have to wait to see if the crows are bright enough to realise there is unlikely to be an eagle flying around on the landing of our house and we\u2019ve just put it there to fool them. My money is on the crow not being fooled, but Alfie is convinced it\u2019s going to work. I think he has more of a vested interest seeing as it is his sleep that is being disturbed. I might be less phlegmatic about it if they were tapping at my window!<\/p>\n
What is it with windy weather? We were all on edge yesterday. Alfie was barking even more than he has been and we weren\u2019t much better. Our Mistress is at the end of her tether with him and that\u2019s not normal. Usually he can get away with anything and she doesn\u2019t tell him off. Now she has no idea how to help him break the cycle of his behaviour. It\u2019s wearing her down. We all know our place and that she wants nothing more in life than to be close to Alfie. Telling him off doesn\u2019t make her happy, but neither does having him barking in her ear. I tried to be good so that I didn\u2019t make it worse, but you know what it\u2019s like! All I have to do is walk in his direction and he gets all jumpy and starts barking. Oh it\u2019s so tempting just to poke a paw in his direction, almost irresistible in fact, particularly when I can do it silently and no one knows I\u2019m just causing trouble. I\u2019m going to get caught sooner or later but until then I may as well make the most of it.<\/p>\n
