WII Unmasked

The smelly WII (Whatever-It-Is) has been unmasked.

Was - not is - a fox.

TB ambushed it yesterday evening and got it cornered by one of Our old sheds. (Have never seen such a transformation from kindly geriatric beagle to snarling, baying and altogether terrifying brute.) As luck would have it Myself was assisting Him to water the greenhouse and pointing out the small areas He had missed. With great presence of mind He turned around and blasted the fox with a jet of water. Fox didn't know what to do - Couldn't run away because TB stood firm (and wet) - All it could do was snarl and turn its head away from the water. Then She came out to see what was going on. Had a saucepan in Her hand which She hurled at the fox. Just missed TB but caught the interpolator squarely on its rump. Everybody screamed, the fox went straight up in the air and over TB's head and made good its escape. TB is enormously pleased with itself and spent hours on guard last night. (Can't bring Myself to point out that it was I who was instrumental in the whole affair. Would spoil its simple pleasure.)

Doubt We shall see the fox again. Or Her saucepan. It has a big ding in it and I heard Her asking Him for a new set.
