Pup: Sniff… sniff,sniff…sniffety-snif…yip! Bark!
Me: Whatcha found, Pup?
Pup: Barkety-bark bark!
Me: Oooo! What the heck is that? Not an otter, or a grey squirrel. We don’t have red squirrels here. Hmmm. What we have here, Pup, is an Unidentified Furry Object!
We walk on, all the while reducing the list of possibilities to a small Mustelid of some sort. Unable to narrow it down any further, I tell pup my findings.
Me: Pup, it’s a wee weasely-stoatie thingy!
In my defence, it moved too quickly for me to be certain! I’m not sure I can tell a weasel from a stoat, even if they stand still!
Happy Wednesday everyone xx
Pop on over to visit the wonderful Linda G Hill’s site, home of One-liner Wednesday!
Nice use of UFO. Most of the objects around me I don’t think i could identify if I had to. I get used to them being there and figure they’ve been identified enough.

All you need to know is, “I’m a good dog. Whatever it was, I scared it away and saved your life.” At least that’s how our dog acts.

I think mine took it as a personal affront that she didn’t haul it back to me 😆

My dog does the same thing. I sometimes think he’s barking at the scents he smells from the wind that is carried into our yard from the surrounding counties. But, maybe it is UFO’s?! Happy Wednesday to you!

Our poor neighbours are having some work done today so Pup has taken it on herself to defend our borders… loudly. Poor workman nearly fell off his ladder! 😬

Oh, no! That’s unfortunate for all. Pup, no doubt, is protective. Sometimes that is cute, and like you’ve shared, sometimes it isn’t!

Dogs find the most interesting things on our walks, don’t they? My dog and I surprised a weasel once while walking in the woods. She took off after it and I took off after her, but none of us caught our intended targets, which was probably a good thing.

Today I found a lovely piece of old bark shaped like a boat. I launched it down the stream only to have Pup ‘fetch’ it back for me! Never a dull moment 🤪
