Chapter Four

Meanwhile —-

“Hey, Hobbs!  Do you know where we are?”  TLC sat down panting.  “Hobbs!  Stop!  It feels like we are lost.”

Hobbie stopped, turned around, and looked at TLC.  “We are not lost.  We just ran around Coyote Hill.  Right at this moment, we are sitting on the trail to the Rocky Point.

At the Rocky Point, we will be able to see all the way around us.

We will be able to see the Deep Dark Forest, the Cattail patch, over onto our Ranching Neighbors’ Place,

We can look back and see Coyote Hill, then if we turn completely around, we can see the farm and the start of the little field

where the deer like to hang out.”

Hobbs put his paw up and swung himself around, pointing out each and everything.

“It is the Rocky Point where we can see if there really are any wild dogs living on the farm.

It’s the Rocky Point where we can see where ALL the wild creatures live.”

Hobbs came and sat down beside me.

“Well, it’s starting to get late.  The Sun is going to bed, and those wild creatures will start coming out.  Being outside at night at the farmhouse is one thing; being out here right along with the wild ones is a whole other thing! TLC announced.

“Tell me about it,” Hobbs sadly said. “I was dumped out after years of living inside, never going outside.  I had to figure things out pretty fast.”

TLC reached over and put a paw on Hobb’s paw. “Well, New Fur brother—You will just have to keep Boo Berry and me safe!”

“BOO BERRY!!!” TLC and Hobbs yelled together! “WHERE ARE YOU BOO BERRY!!!”

Chapter Four

They took off running.

Goodness!  I don’t want to be left behind, so I took off running.

On to the coyote hill they went.  It was rocks, and hot and dry.

I was following along as fast as possible when I slipped and fell. Crashing my face down onto a huge rock.

It Hurt!

It hurt so bad that I must have passed out.

When I woke up, a squirrel was putting its paws on me and chittering.  “Wake-Up, Doggie. Please wake up.  It’s not safe here.  You have to wake up!”

I opened my eyes, sat up a little, and shook my head.

OH!

MY!

THAT HURTS!

“What hurts?” Squirrel asked.

“My mouth!  Right by my nose.”

“Can you walk?”

“I think so.”  I heaved myself up.  Gave myself a gentle shake, leaving my head still.  “I’m up,” I said through my swollen upper lip.  “I think I broke my mouth.”

“Maybe you’d better go home, Doggie.  I think you need to tell your homan.”

“Me too.  But I’m not sure where I really am.  Do you know the way back to my house?”

“I know some of the way,” Squirrel replied.  “Follow me, we can get you back to the equipment area, then, maybe, you will know how to get home.  If not, I’ll try to find a raccoon to help you.”

So—- gradually, gradually Squirrel and I limped back around Coyote Hill, then over through the brush, under the fence, then FINALLY the equipment area.

“Here,” I whimpered, “Here, I really have to rest.”  I fell under the leveler and instantly fell to sleep.

We sat there as quiet and silent and in a state of Shhhhhhhhhh for a long time. Then we heard —-

“Come on, Prissy!”

Then a big ruffle of feathers!

“Hurry, Agatha!  There’s corn from the human to eat.”

Then another ruffling of feathers.

I poked my head around the tire I was hiding from and saw

A ROOSTER!  Not a house rooster, you know the kind that live on the farm with Mom and Dad and manage a big bunch of girls, but a REAL HONEST TO GOD WILD ROOSTER!

He was good-sized —we could look each other in the eye.  And very, very handsome.

I was also a little intimidated by him, but not TLC or Hobbs.

No, Sir, they just popped right from where they had been hiding and walked right over to where everyone was.

Hobbie introduced himself, “Hi, Handsome!  It’s me! Yellow.”

“Yellow? Yellow!  Where have you been?  I’ve missed seeing you around up here.”  Handsome peered closely at Hobbs.

“I found a family!” Hobbs announced proudly.  “I now have fur siblings and humans for Mom and Dad.  Let me introduce you; This is TLC.”  Hobbie pointed at TLC with his left paw.  Hobbie is left-handed, you see.

“This is Boo Berry, My very own dog.”  He rubbed up against me with his whole body.

TLC and I acknowledge Handsome and the two hens, but continued to stay back a bit.  Wild anything is, well, you know, a little concerning.

Handsome looked a little puzzled and asked, “Humans?  Aren’t they scary?”

“Heck no,” Hobbs replied, “These are the humans that live here with everyone.  And the female human, MOM, is the one who brings up the corn seed and other things for everyone to have a treat or two.”

“OH! THOSE HUMANS!” Handsome and the two hens squawked together.

“Well, on with other things. Why are you back here?” Prissy asked me. “Why come back to the wild?”

“DOGS!” TLC replied.  There is a pack of wild dogs running around somewhere on the farm, and we aim to get rid of ‘em.”

“Oh, those are some scary creatures, TLC.  There is a HUGE dog and a variety of other dogs.  They are all mean and snarly. Some even have burrs caught in their coats, which they like to rub onto their victims, making sores.”

“We hide in the big brush pile so they can’t get us.”  Handsome explained.

“Maybe you’d best get your humans to take care of them.  I’m afraid they will make mincemeat out of you three.”  Prissy shuddered.

I looked at Hobbs and TLC; TLC and Hobbs looked back at me.

“Let’s go home,” I decided.  “Come on, let’s head on back.”

“NEVER!”  Shouted TLC and Hobbs, “NEVER!”

“What’s THAT!!!!?” Hobbie meowed at me.

“GRRRRR,”  TLC crouched down into attack mode.

“What?  What?  I don’t see anything.  What are you —

OH! DOGS!!  You are hearing DOGS!  Lots and lots of dogs!”  I answered.

“At least six!” Hobbie counted.

“Yes!” growled TLC. “Six dogs on the farm! Six dogs altogether in a pack!  Six dogs Who Do Not Belong here!!!”

“Oh, gosh,”  I shuddered. “What do we do?”

“We GO GET’EM!!!” TLC announced.

“Okay, lead the way,” Hobbie commanded.  “Come on, Boo, you’re a dog, and you need to be part and parcel of protecting the farm.”  Hobbie nudged me with his right front paw.

“But, but!  What about MOM?!  My job is to be with Mom all the time, no matter what!”

TLC looked at me with a withering stare…”This IS protecting MOM!!!  And it’s protecting Dad! AND THE FARM!!!  Get yourself in gear and let’s GO!!!”

So off we went.  Down the gated pipe, next to the house and the new alfalfa field, up the in-between road, then over the bridge past the freshly mown two-year-old alfalfa field to the equipment area.

“SHHHH”, Hobbie stopped and hunkered down by the land plane (leveler to some people),  “Get over here,” he waved with his paw… “Someone or something is coming.”

TLC and I slipped in right behind Hobbie, each of us taking a different spot under the leveler.

“What Now?” I whispered.

“SHHHHHHHHHH,” TLC reached over and put his paw on my nose…”SHHHHHHHH, something is coming.  SHHHH”

Here, it is the last tiny bit of May.

TLC, Hobbs, and I, Boo Berry, are getting a tad tired of the bad wind we keep having.  We all still go outside, and we hang out for long periods of time, but the WIND!!!

It’s a rushing roaring bit of, well, wind, and dirt, and sticks, and tiny little gravel, and WEEDS!

Mom says she can handle the wind; it’s all the trash that comes with it.  Makes a mess in the irrigation water.  That’s when Mom and Dad and I (and sometimes the cats if we are changing water close to home) all go out and clean out the trash.

The rest of the time, all the work around this place is up to Dad and Mom.  We Furkids don’t do human work.  But we DO do furkid work!

So, since it has been a long time since you heard a good story from one of us, I decided it was time to tell you one!

Are you ready—?

Okay.

Keep read’n, and I will tell you a story.  A story about a pack of wild dogs that have slipped onto our farm.

Just Call Me Mellow Yellow.

Mom keeps singing whenever she picks me up.

(I don’t like to be picked up)

Then Mom gives me a kiss RIGHT ON MY NOSE and sets me down

I don’t scratch her or bite her.  Nope. But I do squirm

I still sleep right next to Dad at night.  Dad is soooooo nice and warm.

I play with TLC.  We even hunt together sometimes.

I have also told the wild cat, Black Satin, that Mom is good.

Black Satin is coming closer and closer to Mom.  Then she runs away if Mom looks at her too long.

Boo Berry does NOT understand Play.

Not with me.

Not with toys.

Nothing.

But that’s okay.

Just call me Mellow Yellow, tee dum tee dum

Mom put me in my little blue box.

Okay, Mom.  Don’t forget my goggles!

Mom did something with something, and then she

PUT THESE ON ME!!!

WOW!

I like them much better!  I can see all around now. No wind or dirt in my eyes.

Hey! Mom!  I really like these!!

There are lots of things I never knew—

How to really play with stuffed toys.  Mom would try, but I didn’t get it. Then I saw Hobbie playing with one and figured it OUT!

That another cat would be fun to play with (?)

That is a surprise.

And When It’s cold, a warm blanket keeps you warm—but NOT ME!  I don’t like that kind of heat on me.

I also never knew I would tolerate another fur brother/cat living in the house

BUT!  Guess what! I DO!!!

I’ve been farming.

I am a farm dog, so I get to farm

Right now, we are putting together the gated pipe for the new Alfalfa field.

Dad says we won’t start watering until the weather warms up and settles.

But we do have to be ready for that point in time.

Mom says gated pipe can be such a job.  Over winter, the pipe expands and contracts, causing it to come apart.

But still…..

Mom and Dad—Dad and Mom have it down to science on what to do.

I manage them.

I also like to sniff around and ‘do stuff’.
