Jinky & the The Unspeakable *****************************
It rained last night and a dry furred Jinky spent the night inside snboozing on a sweater indoors without event.. I fed him and outside he went into the overcast cool windy morning I heard birds making a fuss and looked outside there... on the moist dark rototilled backyard was Jinky playing a deadly paw and bite game with a nervous striped brown little creature underfoot .. ...oh no ! .........a chipmonk In three seconds - I was out the door with an empty waste paper basket - divided the two ferocious animals - hustled the chipmonk into the wastepaper basket as Jinky lunged at us both in a angry frenzy and then 911 raced the small striped one into the house.. for safekeeping from first witness of chipmonk harm to having him safe inside here was less than 30 seconds I am proud today of my St Johns Ambulance training I knew practising on humans would prepare me to one day serve a wild chipmonk The CM is in a darkened box left completely alone to get over his shock and as soon as I hear him stirring which would suggest he is ok and seeking his freedom I will let him go As for the Scarlet Avenger.. the unvarnished aggressor in this drama |I gave him hugs an extra breakfast and some milk to distract him while Mr CM de-wonks in yonder wastepaper basket the wind is making the trees sing its cool and fresh and fetching out there ...in due time - the CM will be returned to his home planet - Jinky will set off for some other absurd adventure - and i will do laundry a perfect world still requires a rinse cycle
