Welcome to Waggy Tales of Fantasy and Fun for All Ages

Today's Bernie Tale is called De-fence day.... As you may remember Bernie the black rabbit appeared in the field behind my house some 4 or so months ago. Today he is still playing in the field in spite of the fox who regularly sniffs about Bernie's home, and the Hawks which daily sit in the trees overhead. Bernie keeps a lookout just in case, although one day he was nearly a goner when a huge hawk sat watching him. I happened to notice Bernie lying silent in the grass and thought he might be dead, so I clapped my hands and called. This frightened the hawk away, so that as soon as it had gone, up popped Bernie's head! Bernie then hopped over into the bushes at the edge of the field. Tonight Bernie and three of his family are running about in the sunshine. The title of today's Waggy Tale was inspired by the new fence which the farmer has put up along the edge of the field this week. It makes it difficult for the creatures to get into the ditch and bushes where their homes and safety lie.

Mo was climbing along the roof of the stables when he heard some men talking. He kept very still so that he would not be noticed, and he listened carefully. " We've got 5 guns for Friday, so let's make sure the fencing is finished before then. That way we can catch some of the creatures when they get caught trying to get through the stock wire. I epect quite a few will get stuck. That should give our shooters some fun. They're bound to bag quite a lot". What he heard made poor MO shiver with fear, not for himself, beacuse he could always hide inside the house, but for all his friends, who would have nowhere to hide if the men cameupon them unexpectedly. He waited really silently until the men left, then Mo ran like a mad thing to Bernie's home. All the rabbits were outside frolicing in the sun, even Bernie, except for one. Old mother Sira lay with her eyes shut, enjoying the warmth after weeks of rain which had made her old joints awfully stiff. Mo ran amongst them at such a pace that he knocked over two of the babies, apologising as he passed them, until he was beside Bernie. He grabbed his friend's ear, shook it back and forth, and yelled in Bernie's ear. Quick, quick, come over here, you've got to listen to this NOW".

To be continued tonight and tomorrow......Love waggy"

There are more Berie and Mo Tales to come. I'm just a bit slow getting them uploaded. Oh, yes by the way, Bernie has survived for these last few months and has grown a lot. He plays happily in the field behind my house every day.
