Thursday 23rd May. Horrendous rain and hail.

Horrendous rain and hail downpours all day, leave us with no choice but to install our spare dog crate in Twiglet's woodland den.  We give him a bed, a waterproof cover, camouflage it with sticks and leaves, and chain it to the fence.  We hope and pray that Twiglet seeks shelter there overnight.  I have noticed that he now has a pronounced limp on his front left leg, and patches of fur missing from his hind quarters.  He needs to get to a vet.
