A mystery unfolded around Chez Herd yesterday, but Hu-Dad zeroed in on a suspect quickly. Let’s call it the Mysterious Case of the Green Paws.

After a weekend of torrential rains and a couple of days of cool sunshine, the grass inside Sibe Quentin grew quickly. Hu-Dad cranked up the mower and cut our grass. Something about making sure the rabbits weren’t too well hidden when he let’s us outside. But somepup insisted on following the Hu-Dad around the yard as he mowed, keeping a close eye on his work.

He says he caught me red-pawed. Well, er, green-pawed.

Hu-Dad pointed out to that pup that his involvement was obvious. The evidence was clear. And that fresh cut grass and white fur tend to highlight—or greenlight—the perpetrator.

How did he know it was me?

    This was hilarious-GREEN Paws-he’s CAUGHT!!! Look at that guilty face-lol. I wonder what the attraction is about following Hu-Dad around while he mows the grass? Maybe that a rabbit might be hiding under that high grass? I guess we’ll never know.
