Book Cover & Preview Text
Xena was very energized and was in hunting form. Her pointed nose was stuck on the couch; her stance was that of a dog that was ready for the kill. Her tail stood straight on end with every bit of her long fur, feathered out from the rise. We could not figure out what she was looking for and as far as the boys knew, the bird went out the door. I searched and searched the couch and found nothing and heard nothing. I had to go back to work and the boys were also leaving to play outside. I phoned Bill and told him what was going on. He said he would look when he got home. A couple hours passed. I entered our home and when I came out of my kitchen and saw the incredible destruction of my once beautiful blue couch, I stood there in disbelief. Xena had chewed every inch of the reclining part of the chair as well as the whole back of the couch. Foam and fabric were strewn all over the living room. I did not call Bill. I figured I would let him too experience the surprise. Xena was still steadfast in her attempt to find whatever she was looking for. It appeared she was unsuccessful at this point in retrieving her hunt. She spotted me staring at her and quickly came over for a brief hello. She then swiftly went back to her post and continued the frantic behavior looking at me as if she wanted me to see something in the couch.
