So an update on Chelsea, the dog. She is still driving me crazy digging up the gardens, I swear she knows what plants we are especially proud of and tries to destroy those ones-never hurting the weeds of course! I have tried every suggestion out there besides a 6 food fence (a bit much for a small back yard though). If anyone has any more suggestions, I'll try pretty much anything.
When we got her we also got a cage for the bird, Cookie...just in case... Well, today they had an encounter...
Cookie flew out the open door. Robert and Michael thought that she flew out of the yard so they started searching down the street when they heard Cookie squawk in our back yard. Then they heard a lot of squawking from Cookie and from other birds.
They ran fast and when they got to Cookie they found her in the corner of the yard with Chelsea protectively laying in front of her keeping away the larger, meaner black birds that were circling above!
Cookie had a minor foot injury and she's missing some feathers off her back but she was so happy to see Robert and the inside of our house again. Perhaps she won't be as eager to get outside and she won't fly into the windows as much.
So good dog Chelsea, you passed the "are you friendly with birds" test!
