The Sentinel

04 Jun

Bongo in front of the bush with berriesSomebody is trying to take over my trails.

She’s posting herself in a prominent place and making all kinds of noise.

And there’s scurrying in the bushes.

She must be gathering her army around her.

What am I going to do about this?

Spies in the bushes trying to take over my trails.

I wonder what would happen if I plowed into those bushes.

I’m much bigger than that would be trail thief.

I bet I could cause some excitement in those bushes.

But then that army in the bushes might move to my trails and I’d really have problems.

Maybe I should try it anyway.

I bet there’d be feathers flying everywhere.

That might be fun.

Alright you cactus sentinel.

I’m going in after your army!

    Oh its only a little bird. That will not do any harm on your trails, so it will not interfere with your walks…do not rush into the brush as there might be bsbies in there and they sould be very frightened

      Patrecia, those babies must be hiding really good this year. I haven’t even gotten a sneak peak of them. But my person says she’s seen quail babies crossing the road in other parts of town recently.

      Marina, for some reason my leash suddenly got shorter and I couldn’t get into those bushes.

      Fredrieka, we have lots of quail in the bushes on my trails. Come on over. We could have great fun chasing them.

      Rama’s Mama, I think those quail are very careful about what part of the cactus they sit on.

    Whee reckon it would scream very loudly if you went a thundering and a bounding into the undergrowth. She’d also fly off rather quickly. Isn’t it rubbish when they don’t want to stay around and play?

      Pigs, I’m not sure why those quail never want to play. Not very friendly I guess.

    Be careful, B. If you plow in, the cactus will get you. If you make it through, the evil bird army will get you. Maybe request air support or call for backup….

    Love and licks,

      Cupcake, there are some ravens flying overhead. Maybe I could call them down to help.

    Don’t go plowing into a cactus Bongo, a very loud commanding bark would probably suffice.

      Marty, I’ll chase that quail away from the cactus and then go after it.

    Hmmmm..I wonder if that cactus sentinel doesn’t feel pain standing on the cactus prickles…..

      Kevin, I think that quail placed herself very carefully on that cactus.
