Can you get TB from rolling in or eating badger poo? By Bessie

Today we went for a walk with the basset hound walkers.  We went to Wiltshire.  There was 16 bassets and  a spangle called Bruno.  Lotty liked him.  It was only Mummy and Bryn what went with us this time cos Daddy has a bad knee, Tom has a broked arm and Katie was at her friends house.  Them wore wellies cos it was very muddy.  We didn't wear wellies.  We got very dirty.  We found lots of poos to roll in.  we found horse poo, cow poo (the biggest pile of cowpoo you ever seen, when Mr Dave loads the video you will probly see Mummy climbing the pile of cowpoo to catch Lotty), sheep poo, deer poo, rabbit poo and badger poo.  The badger poo was the best.  We all had a roll in that, all 17 of us.  Even the two that were wearing coats.  The walk was six miles long.  We was very tired by the time we got back to the carpark.  Even Lotty had stopped running about and Gilbert had stopped barking.

When we got home Mummy scraped the dried badger poo off Carly's coat into the carrier bag what she brought it home in and put it in the washing machine with her and Bryn's clothes then her put all the picnic rubbish in the bag and put it in the bin.

Then us three houndies had a B A T H.  Lotty was so dirty she had to get out halfway through so they could change the water.

Then Mummy needed to take her beta blocker but she couldn't find the tablets.  She remembered having one at lunchtime then putting the blister pack in her backpack so she looked but it wasn't there.  Then she looked in the car but it wasn't there.  Then she looked in the bin and it was in the bag with the dried up badger poo.  So she washed the badger poo off and took her tablet.  I wonder if you can get TB from rolling in badger poo or eating badger poo coated tablets?  Mummy went to the doctor on Friday cos every year her has to get the doctor to sign a new prescription.  Him tried to make her change to a different dose but Mummy say NO and him say OK and him write a new prescription for another year.  But her was busy so her never took the prescription down the chemist, her will do it tomorrow.  Anyway, that is why she had to eat the badger poo tablets instead of throwing them away.

Then we had a sleep while we waited for Mummy to make tea.  Her said she would just have a sit down for a minute.  The next thing her fell asleep and slid off her chair onto Lotty's bed.  Lotty was asleep in her bed and she was not impressed to find Mummy on her head.

So Mummy does some star jumps to wake herself up and she made our tea.  Her bought Carly some new kibble to try on Friday, it was salmon and potato and claimed to have no ingredients what she is allergic to.  But by Saturday evening, after three meals on it, her skin was so bad she had to have fusiderm on an open wound on her face and her cone and pyjamas back on.  Mummy very upset that she made Carly's skin bad again.  Her was only trying to help cos Carly so very teeny tiny and needs fattening up.

So anyway, me and Lotty had some of Carly's new kibble with our own kibble and Carly back on the no kibble diet.  Her had tripe, pilchards, three new potatoes and peanut butter.
