    Jack Russell cross. He went deaf about two years ago, which sounds like a complication and mostly is not, you just need to use hand signals and make sure he can see you before you expect a response. He sleeps a great deal, likes a short walk morning and evening, and is very fond of the sunny spot by the back door. The four chickens need letting out in the morning, shutting in at dusk without fail because foxes do come through here, and fresh water daily. You keep the eggs, and there will be plenty. The vegetable beds need watering every second day. Preston Market on a Saturday morning is genuinely one of the better things about living in this part of Melbourne.
