Syd's New Friend

Syd has a new friend and he/she (won't let me get close enough to inspect) is almost a mirror image of him.  They are both about the same size and they both are guardians of the garden.  No birds in this garden!  Not this year.  Syd has been going out almost every morning and every evening.  He still does not have fleas (since February 18th when I left my sisters house) as I have been treating him with Diatonaceous Earth which was recommended by my friend DD.  It is startling how many people I have told about this product, and how many of them ignore it, even when they say they don't like to use commercial products.  You would think people would want an alternative to poisoning their pet every 3 weeks.
