Ooooops ..... we've had a setback.
I was pottering around in the garden and saw Greebo watching me from his scratching post perch, so I popped in to give him a fuss and Pugwash toddled round after me, as he usually does, on the offchance that there's any food around. When Greebo'd had his fuss, I went back out of the pen and accidentally 'bounced' the door back open as I tried to shut it and Greebo took the opportunity to try to follow me out. I wasn't too worried, as that had happened before and he was easy to shepherd back into the pen, so I didn't hurry to get him locked away and stodd fussing him for a minute just outside the door.
BIG mistake ...... with absolutely no warning whatsoever, he suddenly launched himself at Pugwash, who was just sitting quietly under the tree, watching us. It was a real full-on attack too - he knocked Puggy onto his back and all I could see was a screaming ball of black and grey fur rolling around on the ground. Thankfully, as I waded in, yelling, they broke apart and I managed to herd Greebo back into the pen and then went to look for poor old Pugwash, who had retreated into the house and was hiding behing the sofa, growling.
Thankfully, as Greebo has no teeth, there seems to be little harm done, but it doesn't bode well for his future here. There was so little warning, I'm not sure I'll ever have the confidence to let him loose with the rest of the gang again.
