Today our dog's greatest fantasy finally came true. Dave came home from church this afternoon to find Lily in the backyard tossing around a neighborhood cat that she had firmly caught in her jaw. Fo' reals. Our sweet Lily, who we thought was all bark, actually attacked a cat. Though Lily got a little scratched up, we're definitely giving her the victory. Once we got Lily locked inside, the cat couldn't move for a while and just sat in our garden hissing as Dave tried to shoo it away with a hoe. When it finally hobbled away, it ran smack into the fence. We're all a little shaky from witnessing this fight and not knowing exactly what to do. But honestly, I'm feeling a little proud too that Lily was triumphant in ridding our yard of at least one of those nasty cats! Hopefully he'll spread the word among his feral friends that our yard is not the place you want to be.
Maybe Lily has extra cat angst because she's been forced to share her home and love with the very realistic Christmas kitty! :)

Go Lily! Maybe you can visit our yard and teach a lesson to the cats who try to call our backyard "home." ;)
Our neighbors recently began feeding a stray which then had kittens (a bunch of them).... So far our two dogs have killed two of them in our back yard... Not an enjoyable experience. I think maybe the rest of them have learned the lesson because we haven't seen one in the yard in over a month now!
