McDulls lawn

Our garden is beautiful (thanks to the previous owners of our house), but slowly we're changing small things to make it more a garden of our own. We had to cut back a lot of bushes and trees in the past few months and planted some new bushes, because some died last winter. On one side of the garden we have a lot of roses. First, I loved them, but not anymore. There's always the problem with when and how to prune the rose bushes and fighting the plant lice. It's been said (and probably true) that roses put a lot of energy into flower production. So it's important that they get proper food care, which of course, I never give them. Our roses are blooming now, but I'm sure they could be ten times prettier if cared for better. Oh, and I haven't mentioned the enormous thorns that make it almost impossible to weed between the bushes and that during winter it's an ugly sight just to see the leafless, prickly bushes.
No, I'm not so fond of roses anymore.
But what has this got to do with McDulls lawn? Well, last week I've removed a part of the rose bushes to make a two square meter big grass-land. Our guinea-pig loves grass and now he has a nice place to browse! :) And I think there might be a good chance that we'll get rid of the other rose bushes as well....



Only one question remains.... will the grass grow under this tree? We'll see....
McDull loves his lawn, he started eating grass as soon as he saw it!

Poor McDull

McDull got sick a couple of weeks ago. We went to the vet three times already and after two different antibiotics he still wasn't getting better. Today he visited the vet for the fourth time, this time to make an x-ray. After that, he could stay to have surgery, because he had a big stone in his bladder. Poor McDull. McDull is living with us for over four years already, we just didn't want to let the cute animal die! But you definitely don't want to know how expensive this surgery was.... *gulp*

Now he is lying in his cage, a bit dazzled and still a bit weak. We've got pain killers and a new antibiotic for him and on Friday there's a new appointment with the vet to check his wound.
