farm dog Cat + pigs...

Here's s.thing to wrap your head around...
There's a farm dog called Cat who's started using the pigs as steps+places to sit.
She likes to eat, walk+nap with them.
Now she's started jumping on them.
Luckily Wilma's very tolerant.

In actual fact, Cat's full name is 'Caterpillar'....due to her extraordinary crawling ability.
Here she is with siblings, October 2020.

A cat sofa indeed...
But my fussy furball would definitely like an extra cushion for a back rest... https://t.co/A9AqEgMGJc

There's some bits of Yarra Bend between Dwight's falls and the Studley Park Boathouse that feel like you could be out on the murray somewhere. Its easily accessible from Victoria Park or Collingwood stations
