Ditto doesn't 'do' windy days as a rule and this morning hovered with a look of distain on the doorstep for 10 minutes, while she decided if she would stay in or go out! Needless to say 'out' triumphed and off she went, still looking miffed and with her coat blowing backwards........ something she seems to have a particular dislike of.
That was it, not a sign of her for hours. Her fear of the wind apparently overcome quite easily, though it was patently obvious she had been in the vicinity when a recently deceased mouse turned up on the doorstep. She had obviously decided against a 'personal presentation' after her last efforts only resulted in a stern ticking off.
Again, hours later and without preamble, she rushed headlong through the door and straight under the sofa, always a sign that she has a 'catch'. As ever in my endeavours to save whatever she has in her clutches we did the 'chase me' thing, she was caught, the ungainly process of trying to prise her jaws apart was successful and her prey fell to the floor ............
a small piece of navy blue fur fabric!!!!
She looked at me, picked it up again and walked off swiftly, head and tail held high with pride!!!

It's such a shame for her.....as a responsible parent I really ought to get my hunting skills up to scratch! :o)
Incidentally, the fur fabric is still being proudly 'monitored'!
My throat is slowly improving thank you.
