Not to take Hovis's name in vain but what have your 'destroyers' broken over the years?
In the last eight months the big hairy (BH) has bust:
1) Yard tap - stretched across on his leadrope and tried to use tap as scratching post, cue headcollar getting caught and big hairy pulling tap off wall with his big head. OH repaired it and BH thought it was all very amusing..he is tied up much tighter now..
2) The fence - arrived to find top rail of fence that separates no grass field (that he was in) to lush grass field (that he wanted to be in
) broken in two. Long suffering OH is called to repair said fence, in the mean time temporary repair is being made by me and BH comes over and grabs the NEXT rail along with this teeth and starts swinging on it!! Honestly can't figure out if he was trying to help me or just demolish the rest of it before I could repair the first bit!
3) The BBQ - Horses have summer paddock next to owners house with little pedestrian gate leading from her garden to the paddock (I know I want her house too!). Anyway one morning about 4am she hears hooves on driveway, dives out of bed and goes out to find BH in driveway mowing lawn! Thankfully she has electric gates to road and he is not quite clever enough to push the button on his own (yet..). She found lots of tail hairs on the gate so think he must have been itching his butt and got the long lever thing caught (somewhere?!) and somehow levered open the gate! Although how he fit through the gate beggers belief as he is 16hh and chunky with it!.. Gate now has tie on it too...
This is just the big stuff, there also many other smaller items that have fallen prey to his cheeky playful nature but I wouldn't change him for the world!
So what have yours bust??
