My name is Boo. My life here on the farm is quiet and simple. I go out in the early morning, explore the woods , and then head back to the comfort of the front porch. Today the wind blew......so hard that half of the cotton field is lying in our backyard, and a 1/4 is inside of the house.
So I retired to my favorite spot and settled down for my 7 hour nap. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw him..........sneaking ever so quietly up to the front door. Down I jump to confront him and immediately, he and I are in a heated discussion, with his noise drowning out my warning growls.
Now in all of my 14 years, I have never seen Kathleen run and scream...at the same time...except when.....
these come calling. Kathleen heard the buzzing, sees this slithery creature, coiled and ready.....tells me that she will be right back...and I hear her as she runs, shrieking, and then back in no time with a shovel. I hold my position while she is gone, keeping this fellow from getting any closer to the front door. As he and I are making noise, Kathleen tells me to step back and then in one whack, the debate is over.
I have just finished a bowl of fresh tuna, prepared in gratefulness by Kathleen, and I am now in the middle of her bed.......ready to continue my nap. Life is good, when you're the queen......and brave!
