Billy, the farmer's dog, frightens the cats away
Well, very early this morning I was woken up by a great big bark
coming from my garden. I thought I was dreaming but then I remembered
that Billy was out there keeping watch. Billy was barking very loudly
WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! So I peeped out of my kitchen window and there I
saw the gang of cats running away as fast as they could. What a
surprise they had seeing Billy sitting on guard by the saucers of milk. I
do not think they will be back again. Then I heard a shuffling
noise and I looked around towards the vegetable garden and there I saw a happy sight, my family of hedgehogs were coming bravely towards
Billy to find their breakfast. They were not afraid of Billy and just
walked straight under his legs and found their milk waiting for them in
the saucers. I gave Billy a lovely big bowl of special dog biscuits to
thank him for his good work and then I took him back along Wiggleway Lane back to his home with the farmer. I am so grateful that
everything is back to normal, no more hungry hedgehogs.

Who is stealing the hedgehogs' milk?
Someone or something has been stealing the milk from the hedgehogs' saucers!! As I was going into my garden today I noticed that the saucers were
empty but my hedgehogs were hungry and waiting for their milk but I had
already given them some milk earlier this morning. Who could it be? I could see no evidence of any strangers in my garden, no strange
footprints or tracks in the mud, nothing out of the ordinary at all. So
what was I to do. I had a good idea, I would ask Pearl as she is very wise and always helps me out when I do not know what to do. Pearl advised me to put out some more milk and hide behind a bush to
see who comes to drink it. So, I did just that. I put out 2 saucers of
milk just as I usually would for my hedgehogs and I hid behind a bushy
blackberry bush and I tried to keep very still and quiet. I waited and I
waited and I waited, I was just beginning to get tired of waiting when
I heard some rustling leaves over by my garden fence. I looked over and guess what I saw. There, with a whole parade of cats following behind him, was the
naughty cat from the farm at the end of Wiggleway lane. He had come
back again to my garden and this time he had brought all of his friends
with him. Oh my goodness, so many cats. So many cats drinking the
hedgehogs' milk. I saw that the hedgehogs were also watching and were
afraid, they had curled up into little balls to protect themselves.
Now I have a problem, how do I stop the cats coming to drink the hedgehogs' milk ? There are so many of them, a whole gang ! I will ask Pearl again, she will know what to do .
