Her practice paid off this morning. A dog got her up a tree. I heard barking and ran outside with the broom. A nondescript dog I&#8217;d never seen before was bouncing around the tree, and Lily was about 20 feet up a slender, bent pine tree, holding on for dear life. I chased the dog off and made poor Lily wait while I got the camera to record her humiliation. I was afraid she&#8217;d be afraid to climb down, but she made a very well-controlled descent, first head-first, then tail first, and came to me with her fur ruffled to be petted.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always told her that there are boogers in the woods, but she doesn&#8217;t need to be told. She hears the boogers all the time, though this is the first time one ever came to get her.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m rethinking letting my chickens roam free. My new chicken house will be ready as early as next week, and I was hoping to get biddies in early April.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/s-treed-2009-03-13-1.JPG' title='s-treed-2009-03-13-1.JPG'><img src='http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/s-treed-2009-03-13-1.JPG' alt='s-treed-2009-03-13-1.JPG' \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Safely down<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lily, who is about nine months old now, has played outside and practiced her tree-climbing since she was a kitten.
