It is spring
Brigitte Lietz

We sat on the patio, and we saw a skunk walking over the fields. I remember that last year our dog" Muschka " spent one night in the porch because of her smell. This skunk was walking slowly, like it had just awaked from hibernation. I called the dog inside because I didn't want her stinking again.

After a while the skunk disappeared. The dog didn't like staying inside because we were outside. After some barking, we let her out. We thought the skunk was gone, so not to worry.

It was getting late, and I had to go inside. But where was "Muschka ". She was not around. Then I saw the skunk again and behind him was "Muschka ". The skunk slowly took one step at the time and so did "Muschka". She never came closer than two meters. I think she remembered too how she stank last year. Later when she arrived, she was proud of herself.

Kleenex story

It was a very nice day. The sun shone the whole morning. Our orange cat was laying on the couch. I did my morning chores, then I wanted to go out to clean the garden before winter. Then why is the cat laying on the couch and outside the sun is shining? She can come with me. We went out together. Later that day, I was inside to prepare the lunch, I heard a car stop and some people talking on the road. Then my husband came home with the orange cat holding her head down. She died on the road. Why did I force her outside? But she didn't know the cat rules. No cat's allowed on the road.
