During a recent walk with the husband, Lord Dudley Mountcatten spotted my arch enemy.

.

.

Brazen as could be, Momma Red wasn’t disturbed by his presence and stayed in the feeder happily munching seed.

.

.

His Highness stalked and crept closer.

.

.

But she knew he was inexperienced and bided her time.

.

.

Until he was literally right underneath her and she dove over him to reach the safety of the woodshed… where she sat on a high log and chattered at him.

The bitch was laughing, I know it.

Needless to say I was extremely disappointed with His Lordship’s technique …. and purchased a training tool forthwith.

Okay, technically it’s a flying squirrel. But the size and color are close enough to stand in for that furry red demon for some close quarter combat drills.

Training begins tomorrow.
