Oops.  Sorry, foxy.  I was after a greyhound.  Honest.

   Oh dear – still no sign of Bertie’s girly then? Everything crossed she will return safe and sound

   Has the local butchers run out of pork chops yet?
   You seem to be feeding all the local wildlife (they must be passing the message round!)

   Taffy’s Ma: Tell you, girl, he was pissed. Even after we opened the cage (with gloves on – what a bunch of girls!) he insisted on trying to dig his way out of the other end. When #1 finally opened the other end he snarled like a mad thing and darted off. I’ve never been so scared of something that was barely a foot tall before!! Nope, no sign of the girly. We’ve moved on to chicken and sardines now – presumably they’ll all pop in for tea! xx

   I happen to have a brother that is partial to a bit of fox hunting … now it has been made illegal by idiots in suits who wouldn’t dare get mud on the green wellies, maybe he would come and help with the snarling fox

   June: Stop laughing!! Actually, it was just me and the kids as Hubby was working, and I really was rather nervous of this small ginger ball of fluff and attitude!! Last night the chicken carcass and sardines were gone, the trap sprung and nothing in there! I despair

   Moon: It’s alive and kicking in these parts (fox hunting that is). You can often see them thundering across the fields. The worst thing was the smell. Ew. I’d heard before that foxes whiff but jaysus, it bloody stank.

   Aidy: Nope, the black panther is evading me, thankfully. Maybe they don’t go for sardines? I’ll have to get something else down the Sparrrrrr (geddit?) x

    Thrilled with the shortlisting although there’s some stiff competition. If you consider that last year’s best newcomer was beaut.ie…..

    At least you know the trap works, although that’s probably not much comfort.

    And congrats on being shortlisted!

    73: Hardly noticed heh. Ah you’re bound to win.

    Jen: I’m not sure I’m doing it right though. This morning the food had gone off the hook and the door had been sprung shut, but it was empty. Seem to be catching a lot of air at the moment!! x Oh, and you too sweetie xx
