Meanwhile, at the Homestead

There is a peaceful moment when puppy Hazel is not tormenting the older dogs.

Clover notices some activity outside the inner perimeter.  She comments to Lily, "there's a couple deer by the apple tree."

Lily responds by barking at them. 







Clover regrets her rash remark.  Peace is lost.

"Um,"  Hazel asks.  "What's the protocol here?"
