Country life

This has been a wild week here on the ranch.. Tibo? the dog got ahold of something that caused internal bleding. We miss him, Thursday, my little barred hen hatched 4 chicks- all doing well. Friday morning I was sitting on the porch waiting to go to the pool and watching "Big daddy" rooster strut around the yard as thogh he owned it all. He went out of sight toward the trash can. Suddenly he let out a terrified shreik . I turned and saw him going toward the pen-not running , not walking ,not flying AS FAST AS HE COULD MOVE!, followed closely by who else but the black tomcat. Since there was no refuge at the chicken pen, Rooster turned toward the barn, still followed by Tomcat. When they reached the driveway ,Cat stopped and sat there as though nothing had happened
while Big Daddy kept going till he had a safe space to hide . Need I say that I almost hurt myself laughing?!! Ah, the joys of living at the Compound.
