bluehwys: (Halloween)
Dixie just had a mouse cornered in the Resurrection Lily bed. The bed is along the chain-link fence between our yard and our neighbor's yard, and we have fencing around three sides of the lilies to keep her from walking through them and destroying them as she has other plants in the yard.

We live in a fenced-in community now.

She had the little mouse cornered in the bed. The poor thing was sitting right against the chain-link fence, facing into the neighbor's yard, with its paws over its face. It was too scared to realize that it could safely escape into the next yard. I got a bucket and a pair of gloves, scooped the thing up, and took it over to the park down the street. Poor thing was stiff as a board when I tipped the bucket and let it out, but it was still breathing.

She almost had a couple of grown rabbits last week, and just the other night my dad said that she literally stalked into the yard and laid in wait behind the Lilac bush for the rabbits that were in the neighbor's yard to come into ours. She very nearly had them, too. They must have been new to the neighborhood. :) Or they just forgot about her over the long winter.
