Oh you have to laugh. As fast as Mum sorts out one problem in the fencing another one opens up. She spent an hour outside yesterday morning ensuring the next section of fence is completely Wilma proof. She managed in the process of that to hit her thumb with the hammer and I have to day it\u2019s definitely had days when it looks better. That however is not the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Mum went around the garden clearing up after us yesterday there was a hole under the fence. Now, if this had been a section of fence that she hadn\u2019t got to yet she wouldn\u2019t have thought very much of it. But it wasn\u2019t. It was the stretch of fence she\u2019s already finished. She\u2019s covered up all the holes I could have jumped through. They were also the holes that local wildlife could jump through. I promise that I did not dig the hole. Some member of local wildlife has taken direct action and has dug a hole under the bottom of the fence. It didn\u2019t help when I laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the moment the hole is not quite \u2018me\u2019 size, so unless I try to enlarge the hole I shall be staying on this side of the fence. I can smell that another animal has been there. I want to follow the scent. Mum has resigned herself to a battle of wills and an ongoing problem of addressing our boundaries. She may be calling in reinforcements, but has no idea yet what form they will take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is a very exciting day for us all as the turkey will be delivered. That is as important to the three of us dogs as it is to Mum. You just know there\u2019s going to be an ongoing chorus of \u2018Can we eat it yet?\u2019 from the minute it comes through the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
