It went that way

Was just out in the yard for a bit (the best way to take a break from writing software process documentation is to shovel up a pile of moss and dirt in 110% humidity) and saw Mouse hauling ass down the road full speed, did not pause for an instant to look back when I tried calling her. Shrug. Cats are weird. Went back to my shoveling.

Few minutes later as I'm going round the back of the house with the wheelbarrow, Sam calls down "Hey dad! Did you see the bear? It went that way!" If this were a horror movie I'd be dead rn
