Default Goofys retirement

Goofy is around 14.

Yesterday I looked out the window and he was in the stalk position. It
looked like he was peeing, which he may have been.
then i saw him doing the cat chatter mouth. I looked to the left and there
was mr bunny 5 feet away.

Another 10 seconds went by and Goofy walks the other way and starts chewing
on some grass.

Mr bunny continues to do the same.

I think Goofy has lost his interest in socializing with the wildlife in the
yard.


Either that or he became friends with mr bunny.

They probably reached some accomodation. You stay over there, and I'll
do my business over here.

I think that after some discussion they reached an agreement on the rule
of cohabitation of the yard. that rule being that they ignore each other.

I wish Sootie and Marvin from next door would do that.

apparantly mr bunny isnt afraid of goofy but is afraid of the black cat on
the other side of the chainlink fence. I saw him bolting very fast
across the yard a few hours later.

Boyfie is now 12 and has pretty well stopped hunting. Although he's never
caught a rabbit as there are none near here. Even if there were, he would
be only up to getting the young ones, same as rats, in case they harmed him.
He's a bit of a wimp about the big brown-toothed adult rats and I don't
blame him.
He is fine with killing mice and small rats (very small)

He has never killed a collared dove since he used to catch them for Kitty
Farmcat when they were all she would eat.
I never liked him killing birds and he rarely did.

He was out for 3 hours from 4pm until 7 tonight and I began to get worried.
He came in fine and I said "you could have least brought me a rat to excuse
yourself"

Because if he is hunting, he will sit for hours around a hole where he
thinks one will come out, so where has he been? Unless it got away and he
missed it. Unlikely. He can catch a mouse without seeing it, just by
sound, I've seen him do it and KFC could do the same.
You have to witness it to believe it.
But he can't be bothered now so where was he?
