That's a great picture of Olga standing on the grave going after the squirrels. I didn't see her at first, either, and then got a good laugh. How does she do with going to the vet? Most of ours are very nervous and I really dread it.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107838233635613580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-48744864182602412282019-04-07T19:17:01.970+01:002019-04-07T19:17:01.970+01:00Your garden area looks nice and private a nice pla...Your garden area looks nice and private a nice place for tea in the morning no doubt.<br />I enjoy your daily walks and getting so see more of London and wherever you go Olga steals the show she knows how to have fun.
