We arrived on Monday morning armed with some secret weapons in the battle of the bunnies, Alyson had brought her dog Masie and we had decided to initiate Chumdog into the joys of the chase, he's not bad with cats and pigeons so we hoped it might awaken his inner beast! True to form Shandy flushed a big rabbit straight away but it gave us all the slip, running back through the wire netting through which it had managed to chew a hole, that's the last time we buy cheap foreign stuff. Seconds later a baby bun appeared which Shandy soon polished off, unfortunately she then spent the rest of the time defending her catch from the other dogs which sort of defeated the object, as no other rabbits were caught that morning. Not that Chumdog was much use anyway as he spent most of his time eating rotten apples and rabbit poo before falling in the pond! I kid you not. We then made a tactical decision and filled in all the holes under the hedges with large boulders, we are determined that even if this battle was lost we will win the war. Later we started building plant supports in the main border, a job I always find interesting as every structure develops differently and also gives much needed height to the landscape at this time of year.
"Hallo Rabbit" He said, "Is that you"?
"Lets pretend it isn't" Said rabbit "And see what happens........"
