A Noise In The Woods

The Little Prince was quietly exploring the yard—and being good—when a noise in the woods gained his attention.

Hark! Who goes there? - a noise in the woods
Hark! Who goes there?

His Royal Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey was minding his own business. Sniffing some shrubbery. Digging in a flower bed. Avoiding the human with a brush. Wrestling with his bestest-buddy-ever. And then the snap of a twig. Something moved in the forest. Full alert systems engaged. The mighty hunter is ready.

    It’s so funny my Corgi acts like she hears nothing NOTHING including me! If she hears something moving in the woods, she is on full alert only so she can run behind me to “protect” me!! At least Typhoon is big enough to stand and stare down the noise!! ?????

    I wonder what caught your attention Typhoon Phooey? Uh-OH digging in the flower bed isn’t a good idea though! Hu-Dad-LOVE the part about avoiding the brush which is so desperately needed now with our boy!!
