The Invader

For the past few weeks Hunter, our lab, has encountered an invader in our yard after dark. He quickly retreats to the safety of the back porch and jumps on the door repeatedly until we let him in. There is one thing you should know about our 100lb lab----he's a chicken! He would never hurt a fly. In fact, our house was broken into a few years ago with our fierce dogie inside. He didn't chase the thieves away, but invited them in to play. His toys were strewn around the house as if to say, " Come on and play with me. My mom and dad won't mind!!!"

Well, Stephen could hear the animal making its noise but he could not tell what it was. Finally, we saw it. The other night when Hunter came up frantically on the porch we knew it was out there. Stephen shined the spot light in the back yard and we saw it--a fox!!! He's not very big, but he is kind of scary when he cries out. (I'm afraid of him!) I will try to get his picture next time hunter sees him. As for me, I won't be leaving the porch after dark!
