So, Toby, the giant mutt guard dog, was sitting in the open doorway, as I was going back and forth from the kitchen to the grill. I come behind him for a pass through back outside, and he’s watching the cat. Who is sitting on the porch 2 feet away with a chipmunk in her mouth.

I let out a squeak.

Which startles Kitty.

Who drops the chipmunk.

Who runs away.

Who Kitty chases back out into the yard.

Who is watched by a painfully still and barely whining Toby.  The giant mutt guard dog.
