I was out hunting early this morning with Mom…well, Mom wasn’t hunting,
Mom was checking the end of the field to see what rows of water didn’t come through. Dad was out IN the field checking to see how wet everything was—
when FREDDY FOX RAN BY…AS FAST HAS HE COULD GO!
Then Freddy stopped…looked at me…I about passed out.
He barked…Fox barks are really different — go here to hear one — which scared me worse.
Then I listened, he was barking for Boomer.
“MEOWWWWWWWWWWWW!” I screamed. “Boomer isn’t outside, Boomer is sleeping in the kitchen on his big soft fluffy bed.”
“Get Boomer and have him come out…it’s time we had an adventure.” Freddy said to me.
“Not right now, Freddy. Boomer has been sick and is resting. Maybe when he feels better.” I replied.
VARRRROOOOOOOOOOOM
Freddy and I heard one of the four-wheelers startup.
Then we heard the other four-wheeler startup.
“GOTTA RUN! See Ya Around.” Freddy yelled as he took off toward the upper end.
That works for me I murmured, turning around
I flopped down and gave myself a very nice dust bath.
Then I jumped up and looked around.
I’m sure glad that fox is gone!
Off I went heading into the field to see about my breakfast!

It’s nice that Freddie wanted to have an adventure with Boomer, I’m just sorry he scared you at first. I hope you found a delicious breakfast.

i’m pleasantly surprized that the fox isn’t a threat to the cat. (knocks awn wood): 4t-u-nately, now it’s been years since we’ve “donated” (never willingly) to the “coyote/fox/hawk lunch fund” ~

It’s a huge worry for me…but that cat (who was once feral) insists on being outside ALL THE TIME!

Chaplin: “Yeah, one dog-like friend is enough for us, too.”
Lulu: “Are you talking about me? What do you mean ‘dog-like’?”
Charlee: “Well we all know you’re really a coyote.”
Chaplin: “The vet even said so.”

You be careful out there, but I’m glad you let Freddy know Boomer wasn’t well. I know all his friends must be worried about him.
