Geckos

My older dog is coming into his twilight years at a ripe old age of 10. We have been fortunate with this one in that he has been pretty fit and healthy but is definitely starting to slow down a little bit. At our old house he pretty much slept most of the day. However since we moved he has found a new hobby - chasing geckos! This is quite amusing I have to admit as in a month he has not caught a single one. This is a dog that loves nothing more than just chilling out. A few weeks ago he was next door in the paddock wandering around with sheep, he could not be bothered doing anything about them; in fact am fairly sure he thought they were funny sounding dogs! But the geckos is bordering on OCD. He will be out the front from first thing in the morning until late in the afternoon. Now I have no problems with this apart from the fact he is killing my nicely trimmed hedge, it now has these great holes in it. Oh well!
