Badger

Hello Mishka, my name is Badger and I was enjoying a quiet moment sitting by the river.  You see that black thing around my neck?  It's the same kind of thing that Harvey next door wears to keep him from running on the road.  In my case it's to stop me digging up carrots.

Bletch, I don't like carrots so there's no need for me to wear a black thingy around my neck.
