My rescue cat

Tonight when I returned from checking the pocket gopher traps it was getting dark.  I was late because the calves decided to play with one of my traps and broke off the plastic milk container I use to help me see where I had placed the trap in the ground and tall grass.  I had to spend time looking for this trap as I had moved the trap to a new location this morning and I forgot where I had placed it.  Of course, Rascal was waiting for me at the corral and guided me home in the dark.

Here a few photos of Rascal this afternoon.

My rescue cat or guide dog

Lately I've been going out to my pastures to check my pocket gopher traps.  A few times when I return I find Rascal either sitting at the outside corral gate watching and waiting for me to return, or I find him at the north and middle pasture gate waiting for me.  As I approach he then comes over to me and then turns around and leads me back home.  He walks so close to me I often have to watch and be careful not to trip over him.  I guess Rascal feels like I'm lost and he has to rescue me and lead me back home.

Zucchini

Donna's sister gave me a large zucchini a few days ago.  I eat zucchini raw at lunch as an additional fruit.  I guess most people don't eat it raw as I got looks and comments when I did so back in my hiking days.

Racal came out of the house and joined me as I took a photo of the zucchini.
