Greetings friends and fans! (That's how it's supposed to start, right?) This is The Daily Bone, Princess Edition, and we are your student doggie reporters Rosie and Baby Spaniel.
Seeing that this is our first winter of our lives, there are a lot of things to discover. Apparently, there are many creatures that are not doggies or humans! Wow!
Here's a picture of a squirrel and a birdie in our back yard.
Upon discovering these creatures, we proceeded to approach them with great caution. This was not because we were afraid of them; but because we cocker spaniels are the smallest of the hunting doggie breeds, and stalking prey comes naturally to us. Here we go:
 |
| Quietly stepping out into the garage. |
 |
| Pausing to peek out the back door. |
 |
| Slowly inching closer. |
 |
| OK. The coast is clear. |
The birdies flew away, although the little ones called chickadees stayed in the nearby pear tree. Some of the bigger birdies flew into the oak tree and started calling us jerks. Our ghostwriter says these are grackles and they are very rude.*
You two are doing a fantastic job reporting. Chester is proud of you.
ReplyDeleteOh, those squirrels!!
ReplyDeleteAnd while we don't see too many grackles but we do see lots of starlings. They are pigs and gobble up any and all the bird food they can get their pointy beaks into. Namely peanuts, suet, sunflower seeds and mealworms. They are not too interested in the 'regular' bird seed...yet. A good pound on the window scares them off.
We can't chase those big machines either...but we do run the fence and bark them, BOL!
The birdies and squirrels have a lot to fear with you girls on yard duty!
ReplyDeleteWow, those grackles are SO RUDE. How dare they!
ReplyDeleteGail says I could learn from your approach to hunting. Stealth is not really my thing.
Toodle-oo!
Nobby.
PS As for the poop, you are lucky that each of you can blame the other!
Hey Rosie and Baby...I think it is quite a wise thing to approach strange things with caution.
ReplyDeleteOh my dogs we are having a T I M E with cow birds at our feeders. They seem to only like one feeder. As soon as it is empty I will not buy any more.
Lastly well done on the Princess edition of The Daily Bone.

You girls have some excellent stalking skills. We can see why the squirrels would high tail it out of there when they see you.
ReplyDeleteWe know all about those silly squirrels...be very careful, they can be tricksy!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Sunny & Rosy
So much for you young 'uns to be learning. We bet Chester and Joey are smiling bigtime as they watch you two cuties grow and learn.
