Gus has just been caught raiding the ……….. woodpile?! of all places. He could’ve chosen any number of nicer things to eat, but what’s with the wood: we don’t know? He’s already had two serious stomach illnesses which required veterinary attention, and made Mum very very worried.
Any ideas on how he can be stopped? Mum would be really pleased to hear from you.

Just a few interesting facts for 15th June
1330 Edward of Woodstock (“The Black Prince”), son of King Edward III and father of King Richard II died. (Born 1376) My fav royal personage just becauses James Purefoy, one of my fav actors, played The Black Prince in a “Knights Tale” (starring Heath Ledger, another of my fav’s sadly now gone)

I know, we’ve yet to do our morning ablutions! Yes its late afternoon, but have you noticed the weather! Too wet for Ducks if you ask us.
Anyway, Mum thinks we need to go out and she know’s we won’t so the cheeky monkey opened the kitchen door to the garden and threw out Bonio biscuits for us to get.
We all dashed out, as quick as ….. something, and came back in. Finlay was very slow, trying to dodge the downpour. Bobby stood guarding the doorway back into the kitchen so Fin couldn’t get in and then . . . . and then he stole the bonio biscuit out of Fin’s mouth!
Well Mum creased up with laughter; I, Gus stood well back, having dashed out and retrieved my Bonio in double quick time – I might be enormous in size, but I’m very nimble on my feet. Mum, the soppy thingy, then gave Fin another biscuit. All this joviality brought Dad out of the lounge and then HE joined in.
Anyway, we’re all back in the house, settled down and drying off, and legs still tightly crossed!
