Discovered this morning that Whimsy remembers this old trick that she learned with a previous dog. Nim did not know this was an option and was an extremely good sport about being punched in the head and strangled a little bit.

I see you have roast potatoes. I like roast potatoes.... 🤤

I debated posting this because I didn't want to be a downer but after watching my dogs this morning I wanted to share this and I hope you all can find the magic in it like I do and see past the sadness. Last night I got the news that a friend had ended his life. As I was being told, Declan came into the room and sat quietly beside me. Then when Jason came downstairs and I had to tell him, Declan left me and went to Jason. This morning everyone is just quiet and peaceful, no playing, no antics; just settling in whatever room I'm in as I go about my morning, lost in my own head. They don't know why but they know I need the quiet; they truly are magical creatures.

One of my dogs favourite jobs is rodent control. Every night we patrol the hen house for rodent activity. Tonight we got 5 rats in about 8 minutes. Love watching my dogs do their thing and then seeing their satisfied little faces afterwards. Happy to post video if people would like to see them in action. Diva pretty much tunnelled like a mole to get to the nest 🔥✨️

One of the best things about Nim is his insistence that I stop attempting to multitask and focus on him.
