Oh NO, Rosie Roo!

bunnPp let Rosie out into the garden for her late-night pee. 20 seconds later I hear barking growling and snarling in the garden, but by the time I had got over there, there was silence, and before I could find some shoes, she came hurtling back in again, with a cut on her nose and smelling VERY STRONGLY of some animal musk.
It doesn't smell like fox, so after some thought, I conclude that Rosie has probably encountered a badger in the garden. Thank goodness she got away with only a cut.
Go AWAY badgers! Rabbits in the garden I can tolerate, but I draw the line at carnivores with honking big claws.

Date: 2017-02-13 03:52 am (UTC)I'm glad she's better! Actually going out and shouting is not mad at all. It makes perfect sense to give warning for anything that might not want to meet you. I am told that Australians are taught to walk very heavily in overgrown areas, to let snakes know that they are coming (also presumably to announce that they are too big to be useful prey).
