Late one night, Maezi & I were chewing on some bones & all of the sudden she popped up, ran to the doggie door in the garage & started barking her head off.
She just kept barking at the doggie door.
She didn’t want to go outside, so I thought I’d check it out. She was still barking “intruder alert!” very loudly…from inside the garage.
This is what I found – it was HUGE! (at least 4 inches nose to butt) Huge, I tell ya! (Well, actually, it was smaller than the rat that tried to sneak in the dog door a few years ago) But it just look at those beady eyes. I could tell it was a menace. I wanted her to come out & help me take care of it.
MAEZI INTERJECTS
Really? A menace? You were nose to nose with it, wagging your tail.
Well, ok, so I was trying to say “What are you doing in my Preserve?”.
You were wagging your tail!
Well YOU were still in the garage – IN THE GARAGE – barking your head off, so how would you even know I was trying to make friends?
Yeah, see, making friends – with a crazed intruder. You could’ve been hurt.
How could I have been hurt? His foot was caught in the wire. I was just trying to help. And besides, if you were so worried about me, how come you stayed in the garage?
Ummm…
Anyway, he was actually a pretty nice little guy.

He was just looking for some dog food, wondered if we had any extra. We didn’t, so I gave him directions to the house next door where they leave cat food out on the patio. He was pretty happy with that info, once he sauntered off.
