Badger Watching


The latest craze for Henry is Badger watching. Other Half decided that Wee Pup should be named Badger as he is black and white and looks a bit like a badger. I got the wildlife book out to check and there is a similarity I must admit.

So when the opportunity arises Henry will drink Badgers water, eat his food and generally keep a close eye on his new friend.



Some of this vigilance turns into knocking his new friend over and rolling him about like a football, very strangley Badger seems to love this and never seems to get scared even when Henry grabs his back leg as he walks away and drags him back. It's really funny to watch but was quite scary to begin with as Henry has rather huge teeth.
Hery has also taken possesion of one of Fergus's favourite toys, a large furry bone. Ferg loved this bone and never ever chewed it or tore it. henry has made a large hole in the side and is intent on removing the insides to throw them about the living room. I have of course done my best to stop this and do intend to sew the hole up but the bone is now all dog slebbery which makes that not such a nice job, and to wash it forst would probably mean blocking the insides of the washing machine.
The arrival of a new pup has certainly livened things up around here, not that they were quiet in the first place. Molly has started to play, both with Henry and Badger and she's started to do a really crazy thing which we have called 'trolley bumming'. This involves running round and round so fast that she becomes a bit of a blur, while that happens her back end gets lower and lower to the ground so much so that it seems she much have trolley wheels on her bum to facilitate this!
