A mystery has been solved.
A few weeks ago a night-time intruder came to our garden and dug up my pak choy seedlings. Or was it an intruder?
This week Penny has been inside and out with a foul-smelling thing shes dug up from the garden. We cant figure out what it is, but when she chews on it, red meat is revealed. (No ones going close, to check it out.) The most probable explanation is that its a piece of rabbit torso. Sometimes the taste of rabbit is too strong for her and it needs to be buried for a few days to ripen to a deliciousness we cant appreciate.
As I tippy-toed along behind to see where she would rebury it, all was revealed. Shes the culprit who dug up the seedlings, burying her treasure.
I didnt see where shes buried it this time, but heres hoping this little fence will keep her away from it if its in the same spot. I figure the meat will be a nice fertiliser for the rainbow chard and purple podded Dutch peas that grow nearby.
I try to be philosophical about digging, because shes a dog, after all, but Ill be disappointed if she disturbs the roots of the gorgeous peas.
