While I was doing chores in the front pasture this morning, I heard Hercules sound the alarm in the back pasture. We have a six-day-old baby goat back there, and "Lost - Great Dane" notices around the neighborhood, so I thought it was worth some dispatch in running back to see what was going on.

Apparently Hercules has decided to raise his level of offense-taken when the neighborhood black-and-white cat cuts through the vegetable garden. That cat, who was innocently perched on a pile of dirt, was deemed worthy of four full llama sirens this morning.
