but thankfully i got her back, Pheeeewwwww :shock: she didn't stand a chance poor girlie. We have started letting the buns have supervised free range time in the garden and because we back onto a field it wasn't going to be as straight forward as 'just supervising them', i needed to know they were secure and that i didn't have a heart attack in the process.
We have been just sort of barricading them in all week and they have been loving the space, so we decided to do it proper and block escape routes securely so we can make this a regular thing.
Anyway, cut a long story short, Chris built a little gate so that was their escape route out the front sorted (beyond this little gate are huge doublegates on the drive, but i had to be sure they wouldn't escape ), he then made a removable fence (out of the green wire stuff) so they had a cut off point and no escape route into the rest of the garden and into the field. Well i got all excited about letting them out tonite and all went well for about 2 minutes :roll: Mishy went straight over to the new 'green safety fence' and just sort of slithered through it :shock:, well i nearly had a flippin heart attack, shouting CHRIS CHRIS at the top of my voice, arms flapping, sprinting over the garden in my jim jams and slippers, did the high jump over the 'secure fence' and promptly grabbed the little begger.
I did tell him earlier on today 'they'll get through them gaps you know love '
'will they heck' he said :? 'They will' i said 'Nah, they won't' he said.
o.k, you get my drift, that's how it went on for half an hour, but he wouldn't listen :roll:
So now he has to make some adjustments tomorrow, oh and Liam had a go too bless him, but he could only get his head through, he's my little chunky :lol:
