The Little Lummox meets a ferret....

... on our walk today. Carmen had run off to the Big City to have fun, so I was left to take The Dog for his walk over at the Community College. Just as we were about to leave he went into full tilt alert and then nearly pulled the leash out of my hand. He had focused on some people who were walking their pet ferret - it looked like a furry slinky with a nozzle on one end and a tail on the other. Lummox was going wild just as Carmen arrived at the parking lot and took him off my hands. She walked him to the other side of the park, about a half mile, and he was still fixated on the spot where he saw the ferret. We think that all that was on his mind was ...

HEY! A LITTLE ANIMAL! KILL! KILL! JUST LET ME AT 'IM!! KILL!

He hasn't felt that way since the last time he saw Tobby the Setter*


*Tobby was a big setter that got into a fight with lummox. He had the lummox's whole head in his mouth when the little killer popped his head out and nearly ripped off Tobby's ear. From that moment on Lummox had only one goal (other than eating and sleeping)in life and that was to kill Tobby, Tobby's owner, Tobby's owner's truck, etc. He is a very single minded critter.
