I did it once, not the car bonnet thing but the old hear a chainsaw and go running to find it. Discovered two old guys with a tirfor pulling a severed limb out a big softwood. Went over and said hello, I've a climbing kit in my car if I can help at all? The guy was enraged, "so the F have I and if I thought I f'ing needed it son I'd be wearing it!".

What to do with a bored collie puppy when your ill?

Oh dear. You got a butcher nearby? A proper butchers bone would last better. Otherwise if you've got the energy you could try teaching some tricks. -

I had a thread in the past where I was given some very helpful advice. Have a read, it may help. My Rowan is still in its new spot. -
