Trail Camage 15

 Ever have the feeling you were being watched?

The amount of deer footprints in the front yard is astounding.  

Now we know why.

There's five of them!

It seems they are feeding on the yew located under the front bedroom window.

Other than that, it is unclear what is attractive to them so close to the house.

They seem to be looking up.  Are they looking into the window?  Quick!  Draw the blinds!

Maybe they are looking above the window.  At what?  A bat?  A plane?  A fiddler on the roof?

We may never know...

Not the hoped for Harmony

 Hazel came to live with us at the tender age of 7 weeks.  

That was some 9 months ago.

How is she getting along with the pack, you ask?

Well, let us say that integration is not complete.

There may never be the harmony that we'd like.

Still, it's not hopeless.  I've learned to keep a cloth on my desk so Hazel doesn't slobber on my papers.  

Maybe the other dogs will develop their own coping strategies.   Why not?  

  St Lois was an optimist too. 

Hazel's First Big Snow

 It's up to her knees and then some!

Hazel must employ her superior scenting skill to find the ball under all that snow.

 

Soon the drool will freeze and hang stiffly.  There will be no picture of that.  It's just too disturbing.

Trail Camage 14

 Some of you may recall the fisher sightings reported here a few years ago.  You can review the fisher specifics here if you so desire.

Now, what have we here?  A dreaded fisher or just a black squirrel?  We need scale.  How big is that log?   Not sure.  I meant to go back and check, then I forgot, then I remembered but it snowed, then I forgot where the log was...   

The short days of winter:  the bane of early risers.

  

This is a big reason why the ducks are locked in at night.

Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to every one that he is a fool.
