Houdinis

Strange goings on today. Phone call from Pete & Bren early morning with a sighting of a black labrador in their garden again (like in Dec / Jan), who fled as soon as they started to open the door.
Tim was still at home luckily so piled out by car and then on foot. Pete piled out (still in his pyjamas, bless him) but to no avail for either. Diddly squat. Houdini again.
Our other Houdini - one of the chickens - is eyeing up the great Outdoors and has plans to expand her territory. I never thought chickens could have personalities but she's definitely the extrovert and the most intelligent.
Anyway back to black labrador. Who knows what to make of this. Pete and Bren will keep an eye out and each morning will have a peep from the window before opening the door. Tomorrow sees the advert in the Veterinary Times, so it's fingers crossed for that next step.
