AFter work this evening I decided to grill on the back deck. I don't have grass in the backyard yet because of trees being cleared so I put a barrier across the steps to keep Lucy on the deck.
She was fine playing there while my son and I talked and grilled. We played with her a couple of minutes and got distracted by the grill. I looked around and she was gone!
About that time we heard a racket and looked in the yard.......Lucy was CHASING a rooster that belongs to the guy next door. ( He lets them all run loose!)
Not only was it a rooster---he was the king of the pack. The BIGGEST one the guy has. Lucy was running for all she was worth and looked like a professional quarterback trying to run the ball up the middle! She's got MOVES.
We took off down the steps after her and the little hussy had the rooster CORNERED beside the house. Then she didn't know what to do with him.
I was terrified the rooster would peck her eyes out and grabbed her up about the time the rooster flew up in my face.
I took Lucy back up on the deck and hugged her, then scolded her. She looked at me with this innocent look like "What did I do"? She's still looking out the french doors hunting that bird and we ate burned ribs!
Kim & Lucy (the great hunter!)
