Last thing before we go to bed, we pop out for a very short walk so I can make myself comfortable. Now, we live on the edge of a town with lots of countryside and wild animals about.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Most nights we see foxes. They are very rude and jeer at me for being a pet dog, but they never hang around when we get close, because they know their history and foxes do not do well <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">in the paws of hounds. We also see, and smell, badgers. But they are sneaky and run very fast just behind us, or too far ahead for me to catch - and boy they are fast.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Well, last night I cornered a badger! I chased it up some steep steps and had it backed up against a fence. It was snarling and telling me to back off and I said "No way stinky badger, you're always coming in my garden and taunting me and I'm going to teach you a lesson." Then woMum came huffing and puffing up the steps and she looked grey and her eyes were super wide open and she's. like "Hettie, come away, now!" and I'm like "No way. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> I caught the evil black and white monster" and the badger took that moment to sneak through a hole in the fence when my attention was elsewhere.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Well, I showed it. I am the mighty huntress who keeps the neighbourhood safe. That badger won't be back any time soon! And I really don't know what woMum seemed so upset about.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Hettie, mighty huntress of England, with Sally<br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">Note from Sally: They were literally nose to nose. I was terrified she would get hurt. Badgers are absolutely not to be messed with. Luckily it was frightened of me. I just hope she doesn't corner one in the garden.</div><br></div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
