I sat in my backyard the other day in bliss doing what I love, writing on my laptop surrounded by nature. Satchi, our little Maltipoo dog, chased a squirrel, a couple of lizards and birds. As little as Satchi is, he still must seem like a giant to them.
All of a sudden, I heard extremely loud chirpings as I was typing. I didn’t look up at first, because for the last couple of months, this was a common sound from the birth of new hatchlings this time of year. However, spring has now moved into summer, and there was a bird ruckus going on that was unusual. When I heard Satchi growling, I looked up to see that he had cornered something.
