the mainland to pick up some supplies

a bit of a surprise

miss shannon

i just don't know what's got into him

i'm sure he didn't mean any harm

he's usually such a good dog

as soon as i picked up miss shannon's

letters i chased after dogger before he

got into more trouble

was already too late

letter and then he runs away

i know let's hide behind the harbour

wall and see what he'll do next

at that moment duggar charted up looking

very pleased with himself

daddy

made a nest in the post box and dog is

protecting it

[Music]

that's why he barked at me when i tried

to post my letters

[Music]

and look there are some chicks in the

nest

well

when we realize what duggar had been up

to we all made a right old fuss of him

miss shannon said she would take the

chicks some corn every day until they

could fly

eddie said he'd put up a special notice

saying

you're lucky you don't have one

that's right i thought there's nowhere

for a garden on the guillemot rock and

holly hops petunias

i wish that we had a garden on the

guillemot rock eddie

i really do oh never mind bill

just think of all that fresh air and

good fishing

a stone for me to throw through him

idea
