And I'm about to join the wormy bunch too society, haha
Well --getter get digging then !!!!
lol!

I was sat out here about an hour ago and Cashew (Mrs BB) came and sat on the worm bucket at my feet and started chirruping. I assume that meant "gimme gimme gimme". So I had to get the fork out and dig some up for her........
Slightly off topic but my son as a GSD that spends all day in the garden. He has a bowl of dried food and a bowl of water near to the house and spends most of his day just lying their.
There is a Magpie (same one every time) that will land feet away from the dog and hop towards his food. The dog then gets up and chases the Magpie all the way down the garden where the bird perches on the fence until the dog gets there. As soon as the dog arrives the Magpie will fly the length of the garden and steal a pellet of food and fly away.
This goes on time after time and never fails to make me laugh. The dog is dumber than a dumb thing because he always falls for it.
Mine are quite tame ,they'll do anything for a raisin or a bit of apple :)
