Paul has a problem !
Whenever he goes to feed his hens or collect their eggs, a certain Chihuahua crawls under the gate to be with him.
Now this is all well and good because the hens dont bother to blink at the site of Honey, whos scampering around for whatever she can eat !
The problem comes in the form of a dog slightly larger than a Chihuahua - my German Shepherd guest, Tash. In her desire to join them, Tash stands on her hind legs and manages to look over the top. But twice she has been caught as shes attempted to scale the gate.
I think I can safely say the hens would do more than blink if she succeeded !
