Picture this.. a peaceful afternoon.. Beanie & Biggles chilling out with us in our office.

In due course they both go out to the garden to answer nature’s call and (almost) come face to face with this:

Yep, a cow went rogue, busted out of its field and came to chew the grass at the other side of our garden fence! Biggles was strangely quiet by the time I got down there with them. Maybe he was all woofed-out, having already defended us from the postman and a courier earlier in the day, but Beanie stepped up to the plate and did a great job of repelling this would-be gate crasher.

It took a few minutes, but eventually the cow couldn’t endure any more of Beanie’s indignant woofage (or maybe ran out of grass to eat) and headed back into its field. We’re safe again.. but for how long?

Damn those pesky flies!

We had quite a relaxing day yesterday. A good long walk on the beach, then back home to our garden and a couple of loo rolls for some of this:

You can spend a small fortune on dog toys…

But some days…

All your really need…

Is a couple of toilet rolls!

Bog rolls don’t last very long with accomplished chewers like our two, so with cardboard scattered all over the lawn, it was time for a bit of “that”:

That look can mean only one thing…

It’s play fight time!

Biggles seemed to be getting the upper hand today

But Beanie’s pretty smart; I think she was just using a “sacrifice” technique

To get into perfect tail pulling position!

And after all that rolling around, it was kind of inevitable that there’d be a bit of the “other”:

The things poor Biggles has to put up with!

Things calmed down after that, and we all spent a bit of time watching the cows in the field at the end of our garden.

There are a couple of youngsters there now and they sometimes have chases just like Beanie and Biggles – not something I’d have expected from cows! Today however they were content just to chill out.
