Last night after the showers had moved through, Mr Wabbit was checking out my yard for good nibbles. I was watching to. Cozz was as well. I figured he had it in his head “I can’t catch that thing,,,” and so was just watching, maybe hoping for a freak chance
Along wanders Mr Elbee-bub, chasing small flutter-bys. Spots Mr Wabbit,, instant stalk mode. Mr Wabbit is no fool, he knows that kat can’t catch him, but he is gonna make sure there is some lead time to launch before pounce time.
Suddenly Cozz is in full alert mode.
stalk pause, stalk, POUNCE!
Rabbit was moving before Elbs backpaws left dirt. Elbs is in chase mode and Wabbit is headed towards porch and suddenly face to face with 65# of rushing PittieMutt,,, Right face MARCH! Quicktime!! and the race was on!
I’m laughing my butt off on the porch. Poor Elbs looks like “my buddy stole my toy!”, just sitting out there in the grass where Wabbit did the 90 degree highspeed pivot move.
Interesting note to self: Cozz didn’t raise voice over it. Totally silent in the race. Thats the sign of a dog that is INTENT on the catch, not the chase itself. Beagles are bred/trained to sound off so the hunter can follow. Silent dogs are THE hunter, not just a tool for hunting.
He may not have got Mr Wabbit, this time,,, but he is confident that ‘one day,,,,’.
Its too late in his career to train him as a huntin’ dawg, but his protection instincts are just as sharp as I want. Besides, the way I hunt, I wouldn’t need him, except maybe to protect the camp while I’m off. Have a hard time seeing him willing to wait there for me and not wanna follow; ‘gotzta be near dad,,,,’
Upodate on how things are evolving with COzz and BadCuz’s brood of feral mutts. BadCuz actually hired me to do a bit wrenching for him (and actually flipping PAID ME,,,,Shock!). I ‘snuck’ over there to alleviate any confrontational issues, but while there, Guess who showed up, so proud of his-self that he found me. Yeah,,, the Cozzie. And I was highly impressed with what happened next. BadCuz’s mutts did NOT like the fact of ‘THAT interloper” on thier territory and started making a big fuss.
Cozz stood his ground, 5′ feet from me. No hackles up, no growls, no raised fur,,, just STAND. Cuz’s mutts about shit themselves at this point; One rushed Cozz and Cozz just stood there like he was a concrete wall built in place. That mutt had no clue how to handle that level of confidence and tucked tail and ran. Cozz did not a damned thing in response, but looked over at me with that pittie grin, almost as if saying “I got this, I OWN these pussies!”
He’s come a long way since they kicked his puppy ass last year. And all that wrasslin’ with his GF Patch (and she beats the living hell out of him while playing) toned him up for real scrapping, and those mutts over there sense his confidence that he can take them, one or all. My pittie has been studying Sun-Tzu and Musashi in his after hours: I’m so proud of him.
as for stuff out in the Kabuki Theater, seen some conspiracy stuff that Graham might have been offed and the government is covering up. That instead of dying at home from cardiac issues, he was killed in Kyiv while doing whatever the heck he did over there (grifting kickbacks? dunno, shouldn’t speculate). Now some of the other events going on lend a certain amount of connectivity to that possibility. Trumped fleeing the ME on the old AF1 instead of the new toy given to him recently (it was actually a gift to the people of the US for the use of the Presidency, no matter who that might be.). Heard there was some speculation that the air defenses built in could be, or were, compromised or hacked.
Funny what happens when you keep acting like the bully on the block and the people of the block get a little bit sick of your shit. I made mention that in his recent trip to China, he was treated as second tier diplomat, not the leader of a Superpower. Actions and attitudes around the globe are showing the facade cracks, despite the US propaganda teams efforts.
Trumped could take some lessons from Cozzie, me thinks. PASSIVE aggressive and unflinching.
Fact: we will likely never know the truth. It may be a century before the truth is ‘declassified’ and maybe not even then; Its not hard to bury a series of office memos between agencies that are known for clandestine shit.
and people sometimes ask why I distrust any and all Governments. That honesty factor: they ain’t.
