he even tried to pry open one of the doors, but it was locked. i could’ve helped him but i was trying to remain neutral.
he gained entrance to the chicken coop for the first time in a while--it had been stuffed with bags of yard waste for probably five years, then a few weeks ago my dad had a bonfire. anyway, apparently it smells fascinating in there. andy spent a good fifteen minutes sniffing every inch of the floor, stopping to cock his head and listen and dig or point at whatever invisible thing, while reed and i watched and giggled, egging him on by whispering “what’s that?! what is it munchie?! get it! get the kitty!!” and making scratching noises on the walls. when i called him off he came out with whiskers full of spiderweb and stubby little legs all covered in chicken dust.

Yeah, Andy! Want more about Andy, please.
I have rats in my garden, and I generally get on quite well with them - even the one taht's learned to get on the birds' peanut feeder. But now I have cats as well.
Something is decimating my broad beans, eating the ones where the dead flower point is just starting to form a pod. Slugs?
And the little tomato still isn't growing - still about a foot high, but it has a truss with eight flowers. I reckon it must be an undisclosed dwarf variety.
i’m glad you’re such an andy fan. he really does have quite a number of admirers, some of whom haven’t even met him, it’s pretty bizarre...but i won’t tell him his fan base now spans two countries. i don’t want the fame to go to his head.
what a clever rat! that sounds very cute. i hope they’re all clever enough to evade the kitties.
sorry to hear about your beans...slugs maybe...do you have earwigs there? slugs and earwigs are my two main problems, so i continue to go out every night with a flashlight to collect and relocate them. have you tried searching for the culprits at night?
