You can write anything you find funny in your day...... This happened today and I am still chuckling........what a comic! I went outside to call my last cat, Crusher, to come inside, as I do every day. I get my cats in before 5 every day. he was the last cat outside. "Crusher!"....I am yelling for him ....and then I see something waddling, running up my driveway from the woods, and i did a double take.....for that split second......"Woa! that is not Crusher, I thought.....It is about his size....but this thing is brown and round and fat....and it is waddling running...."..... 1 second later Crusher comes into view running behind the thing chasing it...... I called Crusher again, and he abandoned the chase and came to my voice..... I think Crusher was chasing a hedge hog.......and that hedge hog was so sweet and loveable and rolly polly and ran towards my voice first....and with Crusher running behind it.....The thing veered to the woods in the opposite direction of where Crusher came to get to me and be brought in. It was so hilarious....like a cartoon. I wish I had a video of it.... but then I think.... Now, Crusher....stop that...Next time, you may be chasing a rabid racoon and it will not end so well for you......but Crusher is hiilarious anyway. he does not kill...he chases, though..... Priceless...that thing.......like something from a Beatrix Potter book.
OK, after looking at photos. It was not a hedge hog. duh! They are too small. It was the size of a beaver, but not a beaver. It is those animals that are always around hedges.....I do not know what they called, so I am confused now.
