Well we have just returned from our walk and saw lots of bunnies which excited the boys and then went to have a chat with the goats in the neighbouring field, which excites me!My mind returned to a walk Tuck and I went on not so long ago, which I would love to share with you all.....
As soon as Tuck is off his lead he rushes off nose to the ground trying to pick up a scent for a bunnie trail and soon disappears in and out of the bushes. He picks up the scent quickly enough but once he flushes them out he cannot make up his mind which one to chase and loses every bunnie in the area!
Being a lady I like to take my time over my ablutions and using the bathroom, so I tend to catch up with Mom and Tuck later on.
Well there I was strolling along , nose in the air enjoying the scented breeze rolling across the cane fields, tail swishing from side to side,, when I heard Mom shout "Tuck! That is not a bunnie!" and just as I rounded the corner I was bowled off my feet -literally- by a fleeing beast with long ears and horns which was being closely followed by a triumphant Tuck!
Mom says my expression was "What The Heck!!??" followed by 'Hang on..That is NOT a Bunnie!!'
I changed direction and glanced over at Mom as I volunteered to go get Tuck and then trotted off after him and gave him a few sharp barks as he and the monster stood gazing at each other.
" I have found a Mutant Bunnie!" puffed Tuck proudly
" No Tuck..you have found a goat!! How the heck you flushed a goat out of a rabbit warren I have no idea but that is definitely a goat! I replied knowingly.
'It is?" Tuck was despondent and his bottom lip quivered ( mainly cos he has no teeth but he uses it to good effect to those who do not know this fact ) " But I am not allowed to chase goats!"
I gave him a consoling nudge " don't worry " we will leave it here and go back to Mom"
Mom decided to put Tuck back on his lead for the rest of the walk and told us that we were going to have to find the goats owner and let him know one of his goats had got out of its field.
The only dodgy part of this plan was that we forgot that Mr.Goatman uses his golf cart to bring the goats their feed each day so when we passed the escaped goat we suddenly heard a clip clopping on the road behind us and as one we all turned to find the goat trotting along behind us with its long ears flopping up and down.
"Are you sure it is not a Mutant Bunnie?" whispered Tuck fearfully : It has awfully long ears and it sounds hungry enough to eat us!"
"Of course I am sure! Now hurry up its gaining on us!" I hissed back
Luckily Mr.Goatman was in and soon captured his goat allowing us to finish our walk in peace although I refused to let Tuck look in any bushes just in case!
Hmmmmph...Brothers !!
