Lily vs. the Coyote


FINALLY! The let me outside. Ahh, my favorite spot, under the avocado tree. Roll, roll, ahh, got that itch...finally. Cool, with a breeze. Close my eyes and enjoy!

Jingle, jingle. Oh no, here come the canines from the house.

Wait! What was that? It was just suddenly there! I can't believe I didn't hear it. Eyes, looking at me. Can't help it...my hair is standing up. These golden eyes! It's a canine, much larger on the other side of the fence. Looking at me. I'm suddenly the prey! Freeze. Frozen with fear!

Arf, arf, arf... arf, arf.

It's Min! The little one that's always wants to be my friend. All this time, I've tried to push her away. Never acknowledge her.

Arf, arf, arf. It seems to be attracting the human's attention. The nice man comes out first. This large canine...what did they call it? This, C.o.y.o.t.e, runs away.

Min comes over to check me out. Still, I'm frozen with fear. My limbs don't want to move.

I'm shuttled, thankful, this time, into the house. Yeow! I mean Meow! I'm so badly shaken. How could I be be prey?

(Note to self: Be nicer to Min.)

Meow for now,
Lily
