Generally things are going well with Zeus, whilst Steve was in hospital we formed a stronger bond and that has continued. He still has his knob head moments, but they are fewer and further between. I think spending more time with Sammi is really helping him too, he's no longer Billy no mates, and as I've said I'll gradually try and get him and Meerah together for periods of the day.
One day last week he'd got out of the garden, luckily we are "double wrapped" so he was within the area between the front garden and the "boncan" where the guys are buried. Thankfully, he didn't make it out of there, if he had done then he'd be in the field, and with the sheep now getting in, well that would be a disaster. Steve and I used a pallet to block it off, and we were quite happy with the job.
Today I called him and Sammi in for dinner, only Sammi came. My stomach immediately churned over, but as I went out to look for him I heard rustling in the bushes, so yeah he'd got through again, but this time he couldn't get back. I had to move the big planters and then the pallet so he could get through into the garden. So it was back to the drawing board, we've replaced wire, and put the planters and the pallet back ... I can't see that he's getting through anywhere else, so let's wait and see. The only reason I can think of for him going through is either to try and get to the sheep, or to chase cats. Of course, I'm pissed off with him, he still has a tendency to do things for his own gain, whereas the only time the others break through somewhere is to get to us, but what can I do? Nothing, other than try and keep his fat hair arse in! (And yes he's on a diet!!!!)
