Scary visitor

Such a beautiful dog could hardly be scary, you’d think. Felix didn’t agree when he encountered Mia in our house yesterday. They looked at each other for a split second before, with impressive acceleration from a standing start, Felix took off with Mia in pursuit – and us in pursuit of Mia.

Felix did a lap of the inside of the house at high velocity, executed an impressive wall-of-death arc across the bay window curtains, took a straight line through the kitchen and shot through his cat door barely touching the sides.

Mia was banished to my brother’s car.

Felix remained outside on a cold frosty night, the half-moon bright against the dark sky. Four hours later he crept cautiously through his cat door for cuddles, food (with treats) and a warm fireside armchair.
