earlier this week, in the early hours of the morn, before the sun was fully up and the twilight is slowly creeping away, max and i were out for a walk when he spied something moving in the grass. at first i thought it was a lizard or possibly a toad, could be a cricket. he pounced on it - like a cat. it was comical the way his front paws went up first and he jumped down on the grass, his bottom high in the air. after several pounces, the critter he was after ran out into the street. a car was passing by on the opposite side so the critter stopped, turn around and started heading back to our side of the road. we we spotted so it froze, 5 or 6 feet away from the curb. in the poor light, and with my poor eyesight, it took a few moments for me to focus and find out what it was - a mouse! a small dark brown mouse with a tail longer than its body.
