For the last two nights I've had to swerve in the lane driving up to the house. This was to avoid squashing one of our country residents - a hedgehog. Fortunately it moves pretty quickly across the road so doesn't cause delay but it's still a worry to know that one day it might not be so lucky.
It's nice to know we've got new neighbours but not sure what Fortnum and Mason would make of this spiky little creature. Might be nice to coax him or her down to our land and make them an official part of the Treanor menagerie.
You can read all about hedgehogs and their habits here.
Away from almost running over a hedgehog it's been a busy week with work in town in the afternoons and preparation in the mornings to be done. Not to mention the usual round of domestic routines. I am at least getting into more of a rhythm although I don't think it's a routine that the puppies like much - early lunches and late dinners. I'm meeting with a Pet Angel soon as I there are a few full day gigs coming up which mean that I'll need to have someone to come and make lunch for the boys and make sure that they aren't fighting too much.
It's clear that if you leave them for too long on their own they start to turn feral and ignor you completely which isn't a good thing. So, it's back to puppy boot camp from tomorrow as I've got a home day planned and then we can continue to ramp up the training over the weekend.
