    Drake is isolating himself

    Normal as far as I could tell. They have a big area so its hard to sort out who's poo is who's but I didn't notice anything weird out there. They have a fenced area so bit much for them to get into. We really try and keep everything clean and free of hazards but I suppose its always possible...
