Yesterday, Miss Scarlet found a long, thin black thing that sure looked like the thing that our people use to put water in our bowl and into the flying critter bath. Only this was way in the back of the yard, partly hidden by a pile of dead tree fur. Since our people usually don't leave their thing back there we decided to investigate and put it back where it belonged. But when we tried to get close and pick it up, it moved and hissed at us!! Of course Miss Scarlet, immediately started her barking and circling around it to try and herd it back to it's proper spot. I joined in, only without the circling part (What's up with that anyway?).
Well, all the commotion made my female person come out. She threw a few pine cones at it but that didn't do anything, so she went and got our male person who poked a long stick at it. Boy! that got a reaction. I never knew that our people's thing move that fast! (or at all for that matter, it usually just lays there until one of our people move it). For something with no feet it was gone and under the fence in a flash!
Afterwards, they sort of yelled at us for bothering a Black Racer (whatever that is). That's the thanks we get for trying to do a good deed, it sure looked like the water thing to us until it hissed. Besides, this is our yard and it should have stayed out (Unless it brought me some food or wanted to play, which it didn't).
