One of these days I have to get a trail camera and put it out back by the pond. It should give me some interesting images/videos.
As I was leaving to run an errand Sunday night, I turned the headlights on on the truck and spotted 2 gorgeous does, munching carrot tops and apples down under the apple tree. (It's also where our compost pile is.) Thankfully I didn't have Angel with me, or I would have been on a ski trip. The pup can PULL!
We've also had our share of rabbits in the yard again, evidently the really mentally challenged rabbit somehow managed to survive spring and summer, and is now trying his luck in the winter. We have to keep a firm hand on someone's collar when we take her out, as the fool rabbit doesn't respond to the noise of the door opening. He just sits there, and then bolts when Angel charges out after him.
A new visitor in the yard is a red squirrel who has taken up residence in the pine trees across from the house. He blends in well enough with the bark on the trees that Angel doesn't really see him unless he hangs around on the lower branches when the pup is patrolling. He might actually be intelligent enough to last for a while.
Last but not least, we were shaken out of bed by a very irate pup the other night. The local coyote pack evidently either made a kill or found a hunter's gut pile. They were howling their fool heads off, broadcasting to the pack that there was food. Angel was the first to hear it, and she bounded across the bed to the window to see what was going on.
