Day 50 - Markets round two

Day 50 – Markets round two

It turns out it’s a bit of a market weekend and we ventured off to the Wynyard markets this morning with the puppies in tow. It was wonderful to find that, not only were they welcome there, but there were other sweet doggies there to meet. However I think it was the man selling black rabbits in a small cage that really sparked their interest.

In the afternoon the Bandycoot started tidying up the some of the small flower gardens around the house. He was amazed to find a whole row of flower bulbs trying to grow under some of the rocks that had been placed around the garden edges. We’re not exactly sure what they are but hope they will recover from being flattened to bloom beautifully in the spring.

Almost every afternoon the Bandycoot takes the pups with him out into the yard to lock the chooks in their coop at the end of the day. They love going out and sniffing around where the chooks have been. Unfortunately the chook food tempts other animals into that space and tonight Indie almost caught a big, black rat that was trying to take up residence in the warm chicken coop. Apparently she put in quite a chase which may have the rat rethinking its new abode.
