Clods of dirt flew into the air as Dig tunneled after the ferret. It was only a matter of seconds before he dug out the ferret and didn't even realize it. Spat went flying in a cloud of dust. He didn't go far, smacking into a low hanging branch of a nearby tree behind Dig.
The impact knocked the air out of him. Spat went limp and fell off the branch… right into Lexx's waiting hands. "Good work, Dig!" Lexx complimented the armadillo. Dig coughed, abruptly backing out of the hole, realizing that Spat was no longer down there.
Lexx quickly pressed a tiny ring into the side of Spat's left ear, tagging him. The ferret merely hung there like a water balloon. "Dook,…" He uttered in defeat.
