This afternoon, Mackenzie (the dog) was sunning herself out on the deck when something grabbed her attention. She began barking with purpose. I peered out the door and found her standing at the top of the deck stairs, barking and hurling dirty looks out into the side yard. I looked over and there was a large bunny rabbit sitting in the grass, staring back. Neither was behaving true to prescribed form.

I’m not certain which one surprised me more—a dog who wasn’t interested in chasing a rabbit or a rabbit who wasn’t scared of a barking dog. But in any case, I don’t think Mackenzie is going to be much of a squirrel or rabbit chaser. There goes my idea for a squirrel free zone this winter. What a dog, I tell ya.
