"But Daaaaaadddd, it wuz taunting me!"
Of all the family dogs, probably Sheba was the only one fast enough, and she was an efficient killer of anything she caught. Angel, you just are not Sheba!

Well, Gracie (lab/dane mix, great dog but could never be accused of being overly intelligent) was certainly fast enough, she just wasn't smart enough to know what to do with it when she finally ran down a rabbit. Freckles (St. Bernard) was hearbroken that it didn't want to play anymore (after the squirrel took a 15 foot vertical flight, landed, stunned, came to and ran off)
Dear Angel and your humans, how was Halloween at your house? Have you seen any turkeys, cows or other "visitors" in your yard recently? :)
Big brave Wolfy :rolleyes: had the crap scared out of him yesterday. With all the wind we have recently had, a lot of dead branches were blown out of the trees, along with the leaves getting ready to fall. We were walking around the yard yesterday, and Wolf was lollygagging along behind me. Next I know - he goes flying past me like the devil was after him. Well - to him it must have seemed like some strange monster was chasing him and going to eat him. This "monster" was a small branch with dead leaves on it, and he got it caught in his long fur and was dragging it along and it was making a rustling noise. Poor baby - it really scared him. I laughed the whole time as I pulled it free of his fur. Wimp!!! :D
Never would have guessed that our afternoon walk would be so entertaining - for me anyway. Those dried crunchy leaves on the branch, dragging thru the dried crunchy leaves on the ground, made quite a scary noise in Wolfy's opinion - and not to mention that branch was running after him - and just as fast as he was running too. :eek::eek: Would have made a great video - but of course the camera was in the house. He really would have been humiliated to the max if it was recorded for all the world to see.......................Tee-hee-hee :D
It all depends on the weather and the time of day more than the leaves. They are literal ghosts when they want to be. On cold nights and cold mornings they're moving around looking for food, and when the rut starts all bets are off.
Okay, was just curious!
So we had the boy's cub scout pack over for their den meeting so the kids could toast marshmallows in the fireplace because their bonfire got cancelled. You'd figure Angel would be completely tired from keeping tabs on the 10 or so kids and 6 adults who were at the house.
WRONG!
I got home yesterday morning and we weren't tired at all, we wanted MORE playtime after breakfast before going to bed. :rolleyes:
