Silly me, thinking we wouldn't be doing a kitten walk tonight!
The rain stopped a couple hours ago, and shortly after it did Harri
started singing to me. The lyrics went something like "Hey, Paw, the
rain stopped. The rain stopped. Hey Paw, it's not raining. Look out
there, it's dark. And there's not a single kitten walking anywhere to be
seen. Think we ought fix that problem? Do you, huh?"
Since she was so set on the idea, I bundled up and off we went. We
walked past the shop and I saw that it was closed up and dark, so I
guess they won't be getting to us until tomorrow. We then went straight
to the pallet yard, where we spent a fair bit of our time yesterday.
The very instant we hit the back corner of the pallet yard Harri pounced
on something, then started spining in circles slapping at the ground. A
few seconds later she turned around - with something grey and wiggling
in her mouth! She had caught another mouse! But this time she actually
got her teeth into it. I wasn't sure I liked the idea of her dispatching
a mouse, but I didn't have to worry about it. Less than a minute later
it squirmed out of her grip and darted under a pile of pallets. We
hovered around that pallet yard for another 10 minutes or so while Harri
sang her inaudible-to-humans "come out, come out, and play with the
kitty" song, but then she lost interest. We walked the south fence again
and had a great time until another driver saw us walking and came over.
He wanted to see if he really had spotted someone walking a cat. We
talked for a couple minutes, but Harri was TERRIFIED so we cut the
conversation short and went back to the pallet yard for a few more minutes.
Looks like I need *two* mouse decals for the truck door now. And one
moth and one butterfly. What a huntress!

HI Dan,
You can get decal sheets to use in your inkjet printer - that way you could
make up a sheet of 'kills' and affix them to the side of your tractor. What
a mighty huntress she is becoming!

Only trouble is that before long at this rate you won't be able to see
the tractor for Harri's "kill stickers"!!!!
