We know our humans sometimes watch us and try to figure out what game is being played, but we prefer not to answer and keep Hu-Dad wondering.
Yesterday’s rains were starting to move in and a drizzle was falling. The other dogs had retreated to the house, but Roscoe remained outside. Hu-Dad stepped onto the deck to ask if he wanted to join the others but became amused at watching Roscoe do whatever it was he was doing. He was staring at the ground intently, not moving, just watching whatever held his attention. And, then, with little warning, he…
Yes, Roscoe yelled at whatever was on the ground in front of him. A single woo, whether of encouragement or frustration was unclear. And with that single sound, the game was over. The spell was broken. And Roscoe was no longer held enthralled.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way

Vole 1, Roscoe 0 is my guess.
