The bat is back, with a vengeance. The first night he had me cowering in the tack room. He is a very territorial bat, he dive bombs you if you try to walk in the aisle way, which is a necessity to get chores done. The other night I had enough and decided it was war time, so when he came down the aisle at me, I went into batters position and took a swing, I missed, but he is into survival and decided that it was in his best interest to stay out of the way the rest of the night.
He upped the ante tonight and decided to give me a warning, while I was sitting, milking (which is a very non-threatening stance I might add). I didn't see him coming as he silently flew down the aisle and sidled up to my shoulder, fluttering a few seconds, close enough for me to hear his beating wings whisper, "What are you going to do now?" and then he went into his regular routine of doing laps in the aisle way.
So I responded by throwing a bucket of water at him. He dodged that quite well and I didn't see him for the remainder of chores.

Dreams will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

are we aiming for termination, or just maiming or live and let live (but have him live elsewhere) ?
if it's either of the first two choices, might i suggest going to the nearest 'play it again sports' or thrift shop, and buying a very inexpensive tennis racket .... i think you get the picture.
I'm glad he wasn't there while I was there! That'd be worse then Ivy not budging for 15 minutes!
ok.
here we go.
