Last week I had houseguests. One morning Edwina asked to go out in the backyard for a little fresh air. I put on her harness and leash and let her into the yard. My friend was watching her through the door. "My, she sure moves fast!" my friend said as Edwina dashed across the lawn. Next thing I hear is an "EKKKK!!!" from my friend. There is Edwina, asking to come back in the house. In her mouth is a tiny mouse*.

I went out another door and instructed Edwina to drop it. She did and the mouse ran away -- to live another day.

Edwina has been sooooo proud of herself! Let the squirrels shiver in fear, let the birds beware....Edwina caught a mouse!

*according to Edwina it was a 10 lb rat...
