The Herb Files

Huh? What? Now? Do i have to?

Well I have now recovered from the tail incident - the flag flies high again - and I have forgiven Tui for pulling it. I don't think she'll be doing that again - she has been very nice to me since - stroking me gently and telling me I am a good boy!

Life on the farm is treating me very well - I bring home a baby rabbit at least once a week and Tui likes watching me torture it into screaming submission in the bedroom until it gets taken away from me to die slowly out in the paddock somewhere. Why they don't just leave it to me to finish off I don't know.

Tui is proving very useful in the mornings getting on the job with my biscuits for breakfast...she doesn't have much control over how much tips out so sometimes i really luck in!

It is getting very hot and summery now so I like to lie around sleeping during the day which is what i am going to get back to now...

Teds in beds

Spring has sprung

Here we are again down on the farm - there are some particularly nosy cows around at the moment and they like hanging out around the house watching the goings on. I have been having a great time lately playing with the barbie house Beatrice and Alice lent me - its brilliant, i especially like putting the dogs in the kennels and the babies into their cots. Putting anything to bed is my favourite thing at the moment and there are often teddies with blankets over them scattered around the house. I can talk really well now and I like to do it a lot! It's very good because now I can tell Mamma to stop bossing me around and can point out the things I DON'T like - there are a lot of things I DON'T like at the moment - they change everyday. I also have learnt some handy phrases like "Oh my God!", "Don't even think about it!", and "pain in the membrane" which is what Mamma calls me quite a bit and if she calls anything else that I remind her that "No, I'M a pain in the membrane!" Herbie is still my friend despite the fact I pulled on his tail and he walked around with it trailing on the floor for a few days - and when we were out for a walk today he ran all the way across the paddocks to join us. He was really fast, as I said to Mamma - just like a cheetah!!
