ECHO AND HIS FAMILY SPEND WINTERS IN THE DOMINICAN REPULIC. I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL SHORTLY AFTER THEY RETURNED TO THEIR HOME THERE.
Hola Amigos,
Echo - 1 Rats - 0
This morning, Echo lived up to his name sake, the "Rat Terrier". After a disappointing second morning of finding our unwelcome guest had rummaged through the kitchen armoire, leaving his calling card and nibbling on our bananas, Echo was called to action. At 5:00 am, he chose to return to bed rather than hunt the intruder. At 7:00 am, it was a quick blur of a flash, a toss in the air and a deadly pounce. All his northern play with birds and chipmunks and only an occasional peeper frog in the DR, we were starting to wonder....now he's on a mission and every corner of the house has been combed over. We sholdn't have any uninvited company from here on.
Stay warm,
Nancy, Mark and Echo
