Mom!

[Dempsy's Mom]

Yesterday Demps and I got to check cattle. We took some salt blocks and mineral along. When I move the mineral feeders there usually is a mouse - Dempsy got two mice yesterday - he was very happy and proud. It was a picture perfect autumn day. When we got home I decided to finish stripping an old closet. I have it in the garage (just love seeing the wood come alive) - anyway I tied Demps outside the garage, Digger was lounging on his pillow - Demps was sitting in the sunshine soaking up the rays. ..... and then kitty trots by with a mouse .... I tell you those looks on a cairns face are so priceless - such an astonished dumb founded look ..... "MOM!! Kitty has a mouse!!" Dempsy is immediately on his feet. "Kitty, you get back here with that mouse!" as he pulls at his tie out and barks up a storm. Kitty trots faster with a clever little look on her face. "You're not the only one that can catch a mouse," kitty says. "Dumb dog."

It was so cute, I thought I would share. Hope you all are having a wonderful fall.

HA! I can picture that expression! Who ever heard of a cat catching a mouse...REALLY!

Demps should have repied...I got TWO, so there!!!

Be proud little man your still #1!

Oh I was quickly scanning your post in hopes of a video - but alas...that was not to be. It would only have put on paper what my imagination envisioned already. Poor Demps - being harassed by the cat of all things. Dempsy..not to worry - you are the man and a dapper one too.

Lovely story! Demps is champion mouse catcher though!

[Dempsy's Mom]

It would have been adorable to of caught it on tape. You would have to have a recorder in your hand 24/7 to catch all the sweet stuff that happens.

I almost choked on my lunch while reading your post. I can imagine how astounded Dempsy was, seeing a cat (of all things!) trotting by with a mouse. I love your stories - they always have a great main character! (That's a compliment to you, Dempsy.)

I always enjoy your stories and they never fail to make me laugh, thank you! I could just picture that expression on Demps face

[Lynn in TN]

I can see that expression almost as good as if I were there. What a hoot! I can't stop laughing.( If we did hold a video camera 24/7 they wouldn't do anything cute.) LOL

Darn cat! We have 2 cats and they also won't share mice when they catch them...

I was just wondering the other day if Dempsy catches mice on the farm...guess you read my mind!

Dempsy, your stories always make me smile

[Sam I Am]

Dempsy's mum you should start a blog and call it "Tales from the Farm". I love all the stories

[Ivy & Lucy's Mom]
