Stalker Freddy

Freddy has become a real pain, and he is totally ruling the roost at the moment.  He is taking advantage of the fact that I am on my own and this means he can do what he wants!  He stalks me outside the front door, waiting to go for me as soon as I try to leave.  I have the broom handy so I can shoo him away, but this is not working too well...

I managed to take this photo, but as you can see, he looks determined, and refuses to budge!!

Another reason he is a bit of a pain is that he is refusing to go to bed at night and recently he has started turning in at 8pm, which is very late indeed!!  I can't make him go any earlier and so I will have to leave it to K when he gets back, to retrain him to go to bed at a more sensible time of 6.30-7pm!

This article below is quite interesting:

A Lonely Freddy

Freddy is now on his own after the final chicken sadly passed away of natural causes in December. We are getting some new chicks at the end of January for him.  He has now focused all his attentions on trying to catch me whenever he sees me, so it's a bit tricky at the moment.....
