We took Magda and Petra to work today. At two pm my girlfriend unit took them over to the athletic fields next to the middle school on the edge of town. Fields in this part of Idaho are big. Well the dogs were at the end of the field when they scented something and Lois was yelling "Come back here...." Well, they came back ten minutes later with cat scratches all over their faces and a satisfied swagger in their walk. One down.

After work we took a drive out in the country and kicked the dogs out to play around in the ditch banks while we drove along slowly and yakked about the days events. All of a sudden we see a cat (a full grown orange and dark brown calico) start loping down the road. Magda and Petra started a lope of their own. After about twenty yards the object of their affections takes a hard right into the weeds and down the near side and up the far side of an irrigation canal. Lois and I killed the engine and rolled down the windows as we coasted to the spot the cat had left the road. Right about then we heard the distinctive "ROOWWWWWWWWOORR" of said cat and Magda getting acquainted. Then it was jaws popping, cat caterwalling, Magda grunting and Petra Yipping when the got clawed, and finally the drum roll sound or Magda thrashing the ground with the properly stretched feline.

Lois said "Oh honey, isn't that sweet?". I could not disagree.

After Magda hopped back into the car I had to pull the side of her mouth down and off her right upper fang where she had hooked it while trying to floss with fluffy.
My darling little girls are bagged out next to the wood stove as I write this.

I think this makes Magda an ace five times over. That is only counting the observed kills. I had better get cracking if I am going to uphold my end of the family honor.

Lawndart, your wife is a rare jewell, do not abuse her trust and love.

Hope you never have to make a choice betwixt her and the pups. I think I'd have to contemplate sewercide in that case.

Funny how their lips get all screwy after flossing, huh? Hope your lady doesn't have that problem.
