My Madigan sits looking longingly out the living room window. Within his sight a rabbit hops, stops and nibbles clover. Madigan remains put unsure of what is really out the window-- stays put until the rabbit hops across the yard, out of Madigan's sight. But not to worry-- Madigan is on it.
From window to window-- living room, study, guest room, bedroom, dining room -- and back to the living room for but a short look before repeating the search. His intent is obvious -- keep up with that rabbit!!
In the living room is wooden rocking chair near the window. Aha-- Madigan has discovered if he climbs on the rocking chair he has a wider view. So with back feet planted firmly on the cushioned seat-- front feet resting on the arm he stands, tail up, one foot raised for quick leaping down, head moving from side to side, eyes surveying all he can behold. Then a rabbit (my yard is so rabbit infested this year) hops into his sight. Down from the chair, at the window he waits. The rabbit nibbles clover, moves on out of Madigan's sight. From window to window he retraces his previous pursuit of the rabbit. Until exhausted from the effort he falls into the prone position and promptly falls asleep. A rabbit reappears, nibbles clover and eventually moves on. Madigan sleeps on.
