The sun was out all day and the animals were feeling it! Tom and Jerry were sparring over their one hen. In one corner, Tom was just trying to mind his own business, fraternize as usual and get on with his day. But not on this day.
Jerry took a MAJOR exception. (Jerry is the Black Spanish). They danced and pranced and pecked each other. No matter what I tried to do – dangle my camera, rush the fray, tell them to ‘stop it’ – they were oblivious.
And they kept at it.
Finally, Tom retreated to the former chicken enclave where Jerry couldn’t reach him (or couldn’t figure out the fence).
And in more animal news…
We decided to to take a little dusk-time walk to check on the pigs. The dogs were happy to be off the leash and roaming about. When suddenly, Sarge took off and tackled a POSSUM! If you’ve never seen this phenomenon, the possum plays dead forever. Sarge took it down and started barking at it because it wouldn’t move.
We watched. Nothing. 10 minutes later. Still nothing (we could see him breathing comfortably, though).
We brought the kids out – who were a little freaked out by the teeth.
But still nothing. For all we know, he’s lying there still.
