I leaned around the corner, but never took my back legs from the ground in case I needed to make a speedy getaway. Leaning further, further, further – what was that huge object just beyond the planter? I couldn’t quite tell. But, it didn’t seem to be moving, so I decided to hop a little closer. With a couple of little jumps I was next to it and I sniffed, prodding it softly with my nose. It smelled like the paper I keep ripping up for nests – the paper that disappears as soon as I leave the Other World and return to my Home Place. I gave this paper a little tug. The big thing jumped toward me. I hightailed it out of that spot and waited for whatever it was to emerge from behind the hay dispenser.

You're going to be waiting a long time, Freckles. Is there a Plan B?

Don't listen, Prepare to fight!
(Eat the Hay!) We don't think it is dangeroous F. It would have jumped out already. Go look again!
(Heee Heee .. sometimes we are not too nice ...)
Go for it Freckles!!!
Hmmmm... Well, it's been my own experience that if it tastes good, go for it immediately before the primates take it away! What fun games we play!! *binkies*
