Bumble Bee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that it is a bumble bee who has moved into the bird nest box on the summerhouse. Actually, not just one, lots. On the one paw, it\u2019s very good news that they aren\u2019t wasps, but on the other paw it does mean they are here to stay. Mum has explained that they won\u2019t bother us unless we bother them and as suggested we make that small corner of the garden out of bounds. There is nothing makes a dog want to use a place as a regular choice for pooing than being told your human would rather you didn\u2019t! We\u2019re still having discussions on that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Just Bumble Bee friendly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I did point out to Mum that if she keeps planting bee friendly plants and growing everything organically than it\u2019s inevitable that the wildlife will think it\u2019s worth moving in. I suppose it\u2019s a shame they aren\u2019t honey bees as they could have been encouraged to move out to a more palatial setting. Apparently, it\u2019s unlikely they would have moved into somewhere as small in the first place. Our \u2018semi-detached\u2019 bird box wouldn\u2019t have been to their liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boomer ball<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum has taken my new boomer ball outside for me to play with. So far I have no idea why she thinks it\u2019s a good idea. I\u2019ve watched her push it around the garden and gently tap it towards me, but felt no inclination to send it back. Shadow is unconvinced too and she\u2019s a real ballaholic when given the opportunity. I think maybe I need to invite one of my friends round who has already got one. Then they can demonstrate why they think it\u2019s good fun and I can decide whether or not to join in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is it any wonder that Aristotle can\u2019t work out what is going on with his legs when his mother sits like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be fair he was struggling more yesterday so Mum has him under observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
