“For heaven’s sake, you have your cougar sweater on.”
“We Texas pups aren’t used to this below-freezing weather.”
“It is 43 degrees F (6 C). Hardly freezing.”
“I think I hear some deer breathing.”
“You can actually do that?”
“Well, no. Had you going though, didn’t I?”
“I guess you did. I never know how extensive your animal skills are.”
“I do think there are some deer out here. I can almost smell them.”
“You kidding me again?”
“Heck no. Over in those trees, I think they are gathering.”
“Let’s go over there and maybe catch a glimpse.”
“Okay, we don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Believe me, I wouldn’t want anyone to know you were stalking decorations.”
“I still say there are some over there.”
“I think it is time for dinner.”
“Okay. There’s that too.”

What a perceptive, clever little dog! (Don’t let him read that…he’ll start lording it over you!) To be honest, I never saw one deer….
Have a most pleasant Christmas, whatever you and your family/friends do, and a healthy, successful New Year. Cheers! Love, Peace and Hope. Joy and Eric xx

I so get the cougar thing. We girls like spots…I had a leopard thing going on, from undies to socks, along with a dress that made me look like a sausage it was so tight. Twiggy I’m sure will understand that when the sale’s woman said…that’s how all the girls are wearing their dresses these days, I said well., hmm…I dunno…and she said…cash or charge?
I do love how she humors you John.. That’s a cougar trait. But most of all, glad she’s well enough to take a turn in her nice backyard.. 🙂

Being on a leash should keep her from giving chase to squirrels, rabbits, and so on, too. Better to be safe than sorry, I think.
