Me, the savior of biodiversity

Most of the time I go out with Fraui. Let's say always. The men in my house are only an alternative when she is not there. Otherwise I usually refuse myself. Except, there are bitches in heat in the village. Then I am available for a walk at any time and with whomever. Like at the moment. And so Herrchen was allowed to go out with me again. You know that we live in the country. Very rural. And in front of our house there is a huge meadow. It's not a biodiversity meadow, so it's already been mowed. The farmer needs hay for his cows, which graze in front of our house in the fall. And as soon as he has mowed, our meadow is populated by mice hunters. By storks (of the alleged 887 pairs of storks in Switzerland, ten percent surely live here). And by cats. Many cats. But unlike the storks, they don't eat the mice - they're all house cats and eat catfood. They only kill them and even worse, before that they play with their victims. And that annoys Herrchen enormously. Especially because they do it not only with mice, but also with small snakes, lizards, frogs - everything that we should care. And that's why he let me off the leash during our last walk, so that I could clean up the mess. He knows that I don't hurt cats, I just chase them away. It's just stupid that Fraui saw that. Because at the moment there is a strict leash obligation with me, after all we live not far from the forest and the game ventures very far ahead. And also stupid that my favorite enemy, a Labradoodle, came around the corner, which Herrchen could not see, Fraui from the terrace did of course. So she cursed like a butcher although nothing happened! Of course, I came on Herrchens recall, he could leash me and the only thing that happened was that I barked this woolly fool my opinion, nothing else. And Fraui shouted her opinion about Herrchen. From the terrace. I say, the whole village could hear it. Then I didn't want to go any further, I had to hurry back to her. I mean, when she's so outraged, who knows what she's about. Maybe burn down the house or something! But then she only withdrew the dog license from my master. In the meantime he's got it back, on probation. Because his explanation that he had only used me as a savior of biodiversity somehow made sense to her. She knows that I behave very respectfully towards amphibia and so. She simply also thinks that this would be also appropriate towards cats and other dogs. But hey, honestly: The biggest berserker here in the house is her. And now everyone in the village knows that!
