The Battlefield
The battle has begun. Another day of trying to outwit the others that are out there searching for me. Calmly I try to review the plan of action for the day while still remaining hidden.
From the battlefield come subtle sounds indicating that they have easily taken back the ground that I had worked so hard to conquer just last night. My ears perk up, sounds indicate that they are now moving toward my hiding spot. I must change my plan quickly. Instead of action, I lay still, deep under my camouflage and force my breathing to become shallow in hopes that they will march on by and not find me.
Alas, they prove too clever. Their eagle eyes have found me. Their battle cry rises loud and long. “Mommy! I’m hungry! What’s for breakfast?”
