βThis was a few days agoβ
So this morning, I ran some errands and when I got back decided to rake some trash over on the side of the yard, when I noticed that the two "Choke Cherry" (or wild black cherry) trees were laden down with fruit, most not ripe (those that were that I could reach, I et them)
While trying to do all this, Tommy came outta nowhere and attacked my legs
Whereupon he pretended like he was going to run up the large oak we were standing next to, which he does a lot.
Being the helpful kinda guy that I am π, I looked in the thicket for something more suitable, and found a dogwood a few feet away.
I went over (he followed of course) but I had to scratch with my fingernails about shoulder height for him to get the idear, and up he went!
To my knowledge, this was his first tree climbing adventure, and since once up there, he couldn't figure out how to get back down, I'm sure it was!
He was crying so pitifully, and I was laughing my butt off! πππ€ͺ
"Come on down baby, you gotta turn around and come down backwards" I said
He tried and tried, and almost had it a couple times (crying the whole way, me laughing too)
I finally gave up and went to get the ladder, but by the time I came around the corner where I could see him again, he was coming down head first, leopard style (sadly, no pic of that, but this!β)
Was from last week.β)

where he now naps away
