Television anyone???

As I've mentioned before, Maggie loves to watch the birds and the squirrels in the yard to the point where the call of the wild asserts dominance over her will. The trip to the patio door is short, the audible "ruff" is call to her servants to attend the door, allowing her to race and chase the departing hordes at feeders and forest edged floor!!! The game never gets tiring, her puzzlement lasts as to why they won't play with her and the cycle continues.

Indoor TV has its moments as a nature show demands her fullest attention with nose pressed firmly against the glass and her curiosity propels her around both back and sides to get a better look at why these animals aren't accessible! Africa's biggest cats are her favorite; their size and ferocity doesn't come into play as the TV screen is strong enough to contain these wild things :)

Now, wonder of wonders, we have another TV worth watching!!! We have had an aquarium for years and years with a multitude of fish but in recent months, since Maggie's arrival, there have been only three fish in the tank. For whatever reason, Maggie hasn't given them the time of day as her world revolves about heading out the door to pursue other interests with all the urgency her perceptions generate.

Our three fish are a plecostomus (algae eater) and two red tailed sharks. All of them like to hide in their perceived places of dominance so motion or activity is kept to a minimum and thus Maggie's disinterest! ( I think I've just answered my own question!) :) Well, all that's changed so the latest activities for Maggie center around how to get their attention, will they play with her, repositioning herself to get a better vantage, paws up on the table so that they can see her and express their delight at having a monster looming over them, cat like, ready to pounce!!! She's nipped at the glass in an attempt to get at them and this morning has emitted that long low guttural growl that for me is reminiscant of the elephants on the Serengeti. If I come home from work one day and find elephants in our yard, I will be so totally impressed :) :) :)
