A furry friend comes to play

  How cute is this furry friend – Barny?  He used to live next door and as his owners were out all day he came around to visit us for some company most days.

 

 

   During the summer he found some friends in the garden to play with!  Here he is having a paw at it!

There were two frogs in our garden hiding amongst the plants in the border and he kept coming around and fishing them out so that they hopped around the lawn.  He would then lie there watching them and if they didn’t move he would slap them on the head with his paw – the frogs then gave out a squeak and leaped away from him!  I’d never heard frogs make this noise in the past, I always thought they just sat and croaked.

 

It was a very funny sight to see.  The neighbour wasn’t aware he was doing this so when I told him he watched from over the fence.

 

He looks like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth!

 

We do miss him coming around to visit as he’s moved away to the neighbour’s parents’ house for now as they have a smallholding with a large barn etc – once the neighbour finds a new house in Devon Barny will be relocated.

 

We’ve heard that he is working for his keep by catching rats etc – he’s also caught mice and even a baby rabbit – which apparently he ate most of! yuck!
