See, this upsets me. She's dust bathing in a millimetre (if that) of woodshavings when there's a nice deep pile of dirt right there.

OMG, I was just hanging out some washing on the line when Snowy caught a big fat worm. Then this Benny Hill chase ensued all around the garden, I could practically hear the Yakkity Sax music! Of course it was all over by the time I grabbed my phone, and do you think I could recreate it with some pasta and two freshly dug-up uber-worms? Nope!

Meanwhile, the youngsters had not got the hang of their dust bath, so I tipped it out in the hope they'll give it a try.

I might have been more patient with that. They are likely to scatter that everywhere.
