Chapter Eleven
I was out doing my ‘stuff’.
Here
There
Everywhere
When I had to pause and really listen
“MINDY!!! MINDY It is getting dark! You need to come in now!” Mom called from a long way off.
“MINDY!”
I ignored her. I’ve been trapped in the house for a couple of days now, because of the big cold snow storm we had. I’m tired of the house.
So, on I went.
Here and there and just everywhere I could think of.
It was getting dark.
Even DARK! But I didn’t care. There was so much to do out here and I wanted to do it.
I was just heading around the Butler Bins, where Dad stores grain, when
OH! NO!
OH NO!
RUN! I thought RUN!
I turned as fast as I could and ducked UNDER the feed grinder, then slithered my way past the tractor shed.
Up toward the
OPEN GROUND!!!
I looked back… so far so good.
MOM!
DAD! LET ME IN!
That’s when I heard: COYOTES YAPPING
Oh, MY HEAVENS!!!
MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
MOM!!!!
I was standing there yowling for Mom or Dad when suddenly
Out of nowhere streaked
FREDDY FOX!!!
He came from down the long-lane to the house, dashing past the chicken house and right on through the farm YARD!
ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Then I heard…. yipping and yapping and in the distance the bark of Freddy.
It sounded like Freddy was leading them away.
OH, FREDDY THANK YOU SO MUCH! I mentally yelled.
THANK YOU!
Right at the moment, the door opened and I dashed into the house.
Whew!
That was close!

Mindy, Boomer used to get into trouble when he ignored Mom. It looks like you are following in his footsteps.

Freddy is a pretty cool fox, huh?
I get house-bound crazy sometimes, too. I meow at my mommy and meow at the back door. She lets me out when the weather is decent.

Outside can be dangerous. I keep telling Mindy but she doesn’t listen.
