While reading out back yesterday, I was startled when Tilly (who had been sharing the lounge with me) suddenly took off and sprinted for the fence.  Apparently a cat had the nerve to be walking by, and (though safe enough on the other side of the fence) immediately took off when Tilly raced over, barking furiously.  A little later she sped off again, this time out of sight around the corner of the house.  I assumed it was another cat because we get a fair number of cat 'visitors' in our yard; though luckily it's not as bad as this!

But this time she wasn't chasing a cat... streaking back across the yard came a bunny with Tilly in hot pursuit.  Luckily the bunny was able to escape through the irrigation pipe; no idea what Tilly would do if she actually caught something.  Tilly would have loved to follow, but luckily she can't fit into the pipe and thus escape into the Back 40 - though she did hang out there for a while waiting "just in case" the little guy reappeared.  

Since fox terriers "were originally bred to flush foxes out of their hiding places during fox hunts" it's in her nature to chase creatures.  

This fox seems to have come up with a novel plan of hiding in plain sight!
