Oh, Albie. Please go in.

Oh, Albie. Please go in.


The containers are a huge hit with everyone.

Everyone except Albie who just won’t.  I have no idea why but he refuses to go in.  So today I decided was the day he he would. I put a headcollar on him and sat with carrots in a container containing only Storm.

And so I sat trying to entice him in with the carrots.

Obviously, it became a family affair.

Certain helpers were only here for the carrots!

Delicious small Turriefield carrots, just right for enticement.

And then I quickly ran out of carrots and I will admit patience too so I tied Albie up to the container and went off to fetch some more.

A bit more encouragement, and a variety of methods used, and Albie eventually walked inside.

I made him walk in and out probably a billion times from every container and, once I was satisfied, I let him go so he could be with his friends.

Feeling pleased, I went back to get some more carrots and gave Albie the whole lot so he could see it was totally worth it.

The whole process took over an hour but we did it.  I’m not saying it was easy but I can sleep at night knowing that Albie can, if he wants, go into a container for shelter though I bet he still stays outside looking pathetic!

Oh, Albie. Please go in.
