close encounters

people, atlas here.

it has been the most exciting week!

on monday, i almost caught a bird. i would have caught it, only elizabeth pulled me away at the last minute. i don’t know why. she’s so strange sometimes. (she said something about thinking it would fly away and then it didn’t but i wasn’t really listening to her.) she should have let me catch it. it was just sitting there, waiting for me. i wouldn’t have hurt it. i don’t care about birds. i just wanted to sniff it.

on tuesday night, i stopped to sniff a rock on the path. it was cold and wet and then it jumped up and hopped away from me into the pond. i tried to catch it but it was too fast for me. what was it? what was that cold wet hopping thing?!

can you believe all the excitement? and it’s only wednesday. i wonder what else will happen this week. maybe i will finally catch my rabbit.

(has elizabeth told you the story of the rabbit yet? if not, she should. it was the best day ever. for me. elizabeth remembers a runaway pup and traffic and a sprained ankle. i remember chasing a speedy rabbit. oh, the fun. maybe she should have chased the rabbit with me.)

  1. What a week, Atlas! Have fun chasing all the wonders. :o) ((HUGS))

  2. I wish my cat could say the same about the bird…unfortunately, Miko brought it to me after he has already caught it. :(

    Tracy: He will!

    Kate: Oh, no! What a not-fun gift for you.
