Mabel digs a hole

Monday 27th October 2008

I was in Cornwall with Mum over the weekend. This morning, Mabel continued to dig up her mouse hole. At least, it started off as a mouse hole and quickly turned in to trench, with no sign of a tiny mouse hole anywhere.

Watching her is interesting, she sort of goes completely mad and blocks out everything else around her. One of the most distinctive things she does is stick her nose deep in to the earth, then blow out through her nose, before breathing in again, with her nose still in the earth. We ('we' being family), call this 'snotting'.

This is what Mabel sounds like when she's digging and snotting:

Anyway, here she is in action...

Mum gave her some bits of chicken afterwards. Look at that poonum...
