Fantastic @realtreebivvy, entertaining and delightful story...I had a quick look to see if there were any news reports from the period, but yours will do nicely :D
Affectionate nibbles on your sleeve (if you have one) from Shanti - she's not a lick-dog. She asked me to pass on the message to @minismallholding that she liked the look of Ginger, but was glad she was so far away else she'd end up chasing her. I reminded her that she'd never met a chicken before and had better watch out if she tried anything funny, but I'm not sure if she took me seriously!
And respect to Jim RIP!
Hellooooo @barge and Shanti - hope your both doing well, we could do with a doggie here - we are pestered by local cats trying to get in and kill all the animals - not good i know.
Anyway, saw this Gif and thought of you and Shanti - i know you probably don't have red toenails or maybe you do - i'm not judging, Thank you for the condolences. :)
LOL glad you asked for clarification, mine are green actually :P and thankfully Shanti doesn't go for sudden moves unless play has been signalled! All well here, she's out walking the hills with the DJ... Hmmm, I love cats, but find it very hard to reconcile their blood-lust :(
