Our dogs are actually more interested in chasing the rabbits than catching them thankfully as I am not that keen on the idea of dispatching them if the dogs don't do the job properly themselves. What they really love to chase is birds, which they never catch of course!Mrs Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964628527899832494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897113670108875267.post-73853270622979623932013-06-10T14:47:04.983+01:002013-06-10T14:47:04.983+01:00Thanks.

Never knew cats would catch them before now, it was quite a shock indeed! On a brighter note you have some lovely flowers blooming in your garden. The iris is just beautiful.
