Willow and the Weasel

Aug 08, 2007 21:01


Time:  7.45ish this evening
Place:  my house
Activity:  catching ponies for their tea

Out I go to get Willow.  Think to myself  "I'll go the long way and she'll come up to the gate and meet me" so wander up.  Nearer the gate I spy something moving.  Thinking it's a rabbit I carry on.  Then I discover that it is a rabbit: a dead one being dragged by a weasel/stoat (never having seen either I couldn't really tell which).  Now this thing is right outside the stables, both of which have open doors.

Me Shitshitshitshitshitshitshit don't go in the stables please!!!!!!  *quick look to check where Willow is*
Small Predatorial Animal (SPA) Oooooooh...look at that...do I run away or do I take the rabbit?
Me *moves slowly towards SPA* Take the rabbit, I don't want a dead rabbit outside the stables please *second glance at Willow
SPA SHIIIIIIIIIT run!!!!!!
SPA WAIT!!! No!! Take the rabbit!!!!!!
Willow *cantering up the field* What's going on mum??? What are you all excited about when I need my tea?
Me I'll come and get you in a minute dear, just let me make sure this thing goes away
Willow Ooooooooh...what's this in my field? *Goes to poke nose in something*
Me NO!! Keep your nose out the rabbit guts!!
SPA Ruuuuuuuuuuuun!! But take the rabbit!!!!
Me *Goes and catches pony* Quick Willow! We need to trot along away from the gate and make sure the SPA stays out of Ranger's stable!
Willow Sounds like fun! Off we go!

So, with the SPA safely hidden away with rabbit, Willow and I dash to the house to get my dad to come and remove the rabbit guts from the field since I'd rather she didn't have her nose in them.

Willow Grandadgrandadgrandadgrandad guess what!!!!  There was a weasely thing in my field and it got a rabbit and then I was big and brave and went to sniff the insides but mum was being mean and wouldn't let  me :( but it was there and it was exciting
