When the Black Lab is away...

...Rocky the Mongoose will play

One day we saw that we had a little visitor in our backyard. The mongoose climbed out from between two rocks in our rock wall in the backyard. He poked his head out and looked around for a very long time. No doubt, he was looking for one giant black lab that calls our backyard her home and defends it from intruders.

When Jillian found out that we had a mongoose in the backyard, she was very concerned about his well-being. Jillian would put some of Athena's dog food in a little bowl and then take it to the rock wall and put it out for the mongoose to have something to eat. The next morning the food would be gone. Of course, five seconds after Jillian would go inside the house, Athena would go eat the food. Jillian would get so excited that the food was gone that we couldn't break it to her that Athena was really eating the food and not the mongoose. The mongoose got named Rocky.
