One day I went to let our dog, Jake, outside. I glanced outside as I was opening the door and noticed a big cat sitting on our back patio. Now, normally, I'm a live-and-let-live person when it comes to cats. However, we have had stray cats tearing up our garbage and generally being a big nuisance. So, I took one look at Jake and one look at the cat. I then opened the door and told Jake to get the cat! The cat immediately made a run for our back fence with Jake chasing happily behind. The cat hit the back fence and then began to run for the side fence. Jake was getting closer and closer. The cat then began to run back towards the house. Then, Jake stopped. Yes, I said stopped. I watched in bewilderment for a moment. Then, Jake began to chase the cat again. The cat seeing the dog still behind him ran for the fence that is next to the back patio. Jake happily came running behind. Now, I pondered this for a few moments. I finally figured out that Jake was just enjoying the chase! When he got too close, he stopped to let the cat get ahead again. How funny! Well, I hope you enjoy the chase today!
