Note to Dizzy

Next time Xena the fat beagle is out in the yard barking at something she can't see, don't walk up behind her, tap her on the shoulder, and ask her what she's barking at.

We don't usually let the cat out after dinner as dinner is usually her motivation for coming back in. Tonight however we have a westerly wind blowing, which means it's pretty cold outside by Brisbane standards. We let her out to see how long it would be before she decided it was nicer inside and came back in.

While she was out there, Xena started barking at something, probably a neighbour's cat. All of a sudden there was a loud yelp and she flew across the back yard and dived through the dog flap in the door downstairs, yelping all the way. She was closely followed by Dizzy.

Now, we don't know for sure what frightened her, but we strongly suspect it was Dizzy walking up behind her in the dark.

I'm sure Diz had a giggle about it afterwards, we certainly did. In fact, I think she probably laughed so much she snorted.

She may not be evil, but she's got a sense of humour.
