His Playground
Sniff: nose to the ground;
Sheri Edwards
alert: attend to that sound:
splash! Muskrat retreats.

Yes indeed: his playground — with his nose to the ground or on each passing reed or grass stalk, he gathers into his memory the scents on his path. Each noise alerts him– a blackbird’s whistle, a fish rising for an insect and splashing back into its home, a muskrat swimming silently by before splashing into the bulrushes, the small fly buzzing by his eyes. All of these will cause him to pay attention, for danger, from which he runs.
This is our silly, cuddly furry friend, Guthrie.
