Good morning. ⛈️⛈️⛈️

25 January 2024

It's still raining, pouring actually, and there's a short circuit somewhere because the sky lights up now and then. There was something in the backyard when I let the dogs out this morning. It was larger than a squirrel and smaller than a racoon. It didn't move like either, a cat of some sort perhaps. In any case, the dogs chased it up a tree.

When Jerry was alive, he and Ben caught up with a squirrel and tag teamed the poor thing until I intervened. The squirrel ran up a tree in the backyard and stayed there all day, not daring to come down. Jerry was Ben's sibling, and a terrier, that's what they do. They are fierce when it comes to critters. It's in their blood so to speak.

“Terriers are problem solvers. They'll do what you tell them, but only if it happens to be in line with what they wanted to do anyway.” - Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain
