Preparing for Lottie!



Well, as you know, Claire and Duke are going away for a well deserved holiday, and when this happens we return the doggie sitting favor and Lottie has a little holiday too!!! We always love having Lottie here as she is such a big personality it's like having a whole other person in the house!

However, this time we have the added complication of 6 flappy chooks in the garden..... Lottie being of the working variety will be beside herself!

We have already had a trial run, and it went brilliantly! We kept her on a lead and she was very quiet albeit very interested in them.... we had invested in a mega pump action waterpistol just in case but it wasn't needed! You could have knocked us down with a feather, as even when Benji came there was a degree of swarking and flapping.... and it's not pleasant to see. So we were on full alert!!!!

We are sure now that Claire and Duke think we were being over cautious for our new additions but it previously had not been a pretty sight! Regardless we are jubilant that things went well....

The plan was though to put a temporary fence around the cube and run to stop Coops and Lottie forming a pack and chasing them round and round. Plus the first weekend she is here I am home alone as Nick is at the farm for Janes birthday bash!!!

So the fence is up and looking good.... is not too visiable and will do a good job.... Nick toiled away and did it very quickly on our only sunny day!!!
