bird tricks

OK, I promise I'll post something "dog" tomorrow, but today, one more bird post.

This wren is quite smart and determined, and I think she may be almost as smart as my dogs....

Look real close and you will see baby beaks!

Maybe I need to start a bird blog.....

After years of neglect, a family has finally moved into the lobster shack!

The male bird keeps an eye out while mama bird is inside working hard.

I've had this bird house for years, and the only thing to ever take up residence were bees!  Now, after years of weathering, it is falling apart and I get a bird family.

Geez, does this make me a slum lord?

mishmash monday

As you all know, Oreo loves the hammock.  He is an expert at snoozing away an afternoon outside.

Chewy, on the other hand, is not a big fan, as he jumped on the hammock one too many times when I wasn't on it.  This resulted in him being flung across the yard.

Usually, I find him UNDER the hammock while Oreo & I are on it.

Yesterday, Chewy decided to brave this hammock thing again.  He hopped up all on his own.

This time I had treats in my pocket!  He decided to help himself.

After the treats were scarfed down (in a nano second), Chewy stayed, relaxed a little bit and took in the view.

 He did that "I'm just going to rest my eyes for a second" move.

 And finally, he gave in to the whole lazy hammock way of life.

Shhhhh....puppy is sleeping.  Hope he keeps joining us.  I like being able to keep an eye on him.  After all, he did eat a cough drop yesterday.  Chewy's goodmorningkisses were a bit menthol flavored on Sunday.
