This is Evi in the little front garden, on the watch for interesting flying insects.  You’ll note she’s wearing a harness and on a leash.  That’s because we don’t want her to bother birds.

But the harness is not entirely what we’d hoped for.  I had thought I could put it on her (she learned rather quickly associate it with going outside which she really likes), attach the leash to a stake and do a little gardening.  She, however, wants to roam and she’s figured out to back out of three different sorts of harnesses, including this one which is supposed to be escape-proof.

 The result is I take her outside and sit and read the papers on my phone.  Could be a worse situation, I’m sure!
