Garden pest control

I've been spending a lot of time in the garden this weekend. It's been lovely and warm in the sunshine and I've had my first doze outdoors.

The best thing about the garden is all the tasty bugs and creatures out there. Mum says she is going to rent me out as a pest control specialist. Trouble is i'm apparently something called 'indiscriminate'. This means that whilst snails and woodlice are good to eat, so are camelia buds and other ornamental foliage. Snails are best though. These are often found in the pond, but I sometimes need to work quite hard to get close enough to nab them.


I do this by pawing at the water until the snails float towards me, then crunch! Yum scrum.


My paw is getting a bit better - I've been out for a couple of little walks and have been putting weight on it again, but I'm overdoing it a bit by racing about. I didn't need to have any x-rays this morning but the vet says we've still got to keep a close eye on it.
