So June had its sunny moments... my ruby red paws were proof of that! Luckily the rain of late has cooled them off and they resemble more a powder pink colour right now…I no longer feel like I am completing some form of hot stone challenge which is great  However I must admit I am a little in the bad books at the moment! It appears that chief detective Harvey has become a little laid back in previous weeks and has been well and truly busted…. Without even realising it I have actually been casting fur all over, whoopsie!…there were furry trails left on the kitchen bench and on the bed… what can I say..if they will leave roast dinner on the kitchen bench...it was practically calling my name!.. I was so full I needed a rest, it’s hard work chewing your way though half a roast chicken you know! So my tail is well and truly between my legs…I have opted to keep a low profile until I am forgiven of my sins and back on the good list…the good news is that the birds at the Mill now have nice furry warm nests for their off spring…..#silver linings  Have a great month locals Paw for now
