A chill
was in the air and a carpet of soggy leaves strewn across the lawn muffled the
sound of footsteps. A black nose brushed
the ground inhaling hidden scents of scurrying critters.
A
pause. Still as a statue the canine
studied the ground, head cocked one way then the other, listening to the furtive
movements.
A swift pounce
and the inquisitive nose was thrust into the dirt rooting for the delectable
morsel.
Not quick
enough the four footed hunter raised a dirt covered face to study the ground
again, sniffing and listening for the location of the escaped prey.
