THE ROSES are blooming, it’s quit raining every day and the cat is happy. She did away with three chipmunks last week. I just wish she would quit trying to bring the little critters into the house. On Sunday afternoon when we had a house full of company the cat came strolling in with a live bird in her mouth. She dropped it smack in the middle of the living room for everyone to admire. The bird took off, followed by the cat who was followed by several red faced family members. During the ensuing scramble the cat suffered considerable pain to her person. She had the bad judgment to keep racing in front of people who were just about to retrieve the poor bird. The bird was finally found in the attic and released unharmed. The cat was excited, limping and out of breath. The condition of our family members was beyond description. Our company, who had been looking forward to a peaceful afternoon fled. We later learned they spent the rest of the day at the stock car races. Till next week...
