Oh wild life...where were you when Janice and Steve were here? And why,oh why are you here now? Why now and why here? Good questions. I looked out to see a racoon on the deck,a fair sized one so I scooted him off as dog needed out only he didn't leave as I thought,he came back into the yard. Darn! I had already let dog out and so it went! Dog thought...get out of MY yard and racoon thought.. oh YA!!!! So infuriated Shepherd got all bark,bark,bark and racoon got all tall and spread put his front arms and claws,hissing and gnashing of the sharp teeth...that was the racoon!!! He stood much taller than the dog and was really not feeling like moving on. Dog didn't feel like sharing at all so the deadlock was broken by me! I yanked dog allowing this masked marauder time to climb the fence and climb into the hedge. Not good enough for dog who some how knew the minute he turned his back racoon would decend to steal food and water again! The bandit walked along in the hedge with his weight bending and swaying the hedge and dog kept under the spot..maybe hoping he would slip and fall into dogs path to start the chase again. The heavy lumbering through the hedge lasted a while longer until I could see him get down and go to the neighbours yard pond,oviously time to try fishing for her goldfish!! Free dinning is great in this neighbourhood!
We now have three wild bunnies and have recently added one domestic rabbit. Good! Just what we need. Dog takes extreme exception to racoons who just wash up in his water bowl and clean up dropped pet food but the rabbits eat every thing down to the ground. They have eatten the roses as they bud,stripped the plants so they didn't make it though the winter and anything planted is eatten that night and no thank you note left for the fresh greens at all. These he tolerates! He watches them hop about the yard and he sleeps while they chomp about him. He gets all excited when he sees them on the other side of the fence as he knows they are coming through to visit...and eat everything. We think he sees them as his pets??? Sad really. So today we have three dark bunnies with the big puffy white tails and the new guy,big fat soft grey bunny. He has a white pattern on him and his ears are rather long. The neighbours stopped in their walks yesterday to admire our rabbits. Questions like...how do you get them to stay? Are they trained? They don't mind the dog? Please bunnies,this is silly ...go be wild. |
