I survived!!! And so did my ankles!
He ran round my legs the whole time I was sweeping buzzing and grunting at me. My OH tried to tempt him away with a bag of carrot crunchies but he grabbed the whole bag and so scattered them all over the floor! He then looked at me as if to say "you dare try and clean those up and I will kill you".
After 5 minutes of him attacking the dustpan and brush while I was trying to get all the hay bits up we legged it leaving him looking extremly pleased with himself eating all the carrot crunchies!
