Lola wants me to post about this because if it had happened to her, she would never go outside again. I see her shuddering as I'm writing this.
I was sitting in my ususal corner spot on the deck. It's against the house sort of under the grill. I was almost asleep, mind you when something touched my butt fur from underneath the deck!! I jumped up so fast that I smacked the grill which made an awful thundering aluminum sound. THAT scared me and I tripped over my own feet landing on my side. I did one of those cartoon no-traction-trying-to-run moves and bolted off that deck.
This is a monster, I have no doubt. It seems to like to taunt us and then run away. I am thinking about moving. This neighborhood is getting weird. The yak down the street and now this. I can not take much more. I even puked yesterday in the grass, I was so distraut.
As Lola said, and I'm not too proud to ask this... if there are any very brave dogs who would like to catch this thing, please come over.
