For the love of garlic bread!

After a few hours out and about I returned home to find Pollyanna in the front garden The Kiwi on his knees in the hen pen and the chooks in the kitchen. Nobody was where they were supposed to be! The girls were squawking away for food so I gave them the closest thing to hand - a few slices of garlic bread. If there was any doubt as to Doris's recovery, it's vanished now. Instead of breaking it up for them I just threw three pieces onto the garden. Buffy was first in and ran off with it then lay down and held it between her paws like a bone. Then Penny and Hetty waded in grabbing a piece each. The ex bats didn't stand a chance, they were out of luck from the start. Once Doris realised the level of delicacy on offer she took complete charge. Hetty ran off but dropped it and The Buff swooped in then there was a scuffle between Penny & Doris.  It was like a Benny Hill moment.  Am I showing my age here?  Doris in front followed by Penny, Hetty, Mary and the little ones all in a line.  Round and round they went but as we know from earlier posts Doris is one determined gal.  Helen and Joan soon got bored and came to me for attention, but the others carried on for some time.  Luckily Polly was out front munching on the foliage there or she'd have been using her horns on them.  Doris won out and then lay spent at the back of the garden - full and exhausted!
