I have asked Pearl what I should do to stop the cats from stealing the milk from my poor hungry hedgehogs. Pearl said I should borrow a dog from the farmer at the end of
Wiggleway Lane as cats do not like dogs and when the dog sees the cats
he will bark very loudly and frighten the cats away. What a good
idea that is. I went to the farmer and asked him if I could borrow his
biggest, friendliest dog with the biggest bark. Of course I need a very
friendly dog for the hedgehogs to feel comfortable but I also need a big
bark to scare the cats away. The farmer said I could choose from all
of his dogs. He said he had too many and he was looking for good homes
for them. I told him I just wanted to borrow one for a little while to scare the naughty cats away. I looked carefully at all the dogs and the biggest friendliest one I could see was called Billy. The farmer told me that yes indeed Billy had a great big bark so I put
Billy on his lead and took him back to Clover Cottage. I promised the
farmer that I would take good care of him and bring him back when the
cats had stopped stealing the milk. When I got back to my garden, I
introduced Billy to all the little creatures that lived there so they
would not be afraid of this big hairy dog. I left Billy sitting by
the saucers of milk, on guard, keeping watch. Luckily he was very well
trained and I told him to SIT and STAY and not to drink the milk. He
was very obedient so I went back into my cottage to have my lunch. I am very happy that Billy is helping me to keep the naughty cats away.
