I didn’t mean to do it!
Sunday, February 8th, 2009I hate to tell you this, but I did something terrible. Mom has always taught all of us to respect other living things whether it is a flower or a bug or even a wasp. I like to play with things, but I would never hurt anything on purpose. But, that’s what happened.
Mom took all of us out this morning to do our business. When we got ready to come back inside, I spied a movement out of the corner of my eye. I stood real still for a minute. Mom told us to “get in the house”; those are the words she uses when she is serious. I do have to admit it was pretty windy, but it was real warm outside. So, I kinda stood there looking to see if something was going to move.
So, very slowly, I began to creep towards where I thought I saw some movement in the grass. Hilde came over to join me, but Wooly and Kasha went into the house. I was almost to the place where I thought the movement came from. Then, all of a sudden, this little furry creature darted toward the front gate. I made a running leap (sort of kind a tackle, really) and caught it on the fly. I had it my mouth ready to take to mom and show her what I had found to play with.
Mom told me to drop it, and I did so immediately. But, I guess I accidentally hurt it when I caught it, because mom told me I should be ashamed of myself. So, you know the worse. I admit I did it, but I didn’t mean to.
