M was tired & layed down & look who joined her. They didn't leave any room for me. Later M said it felt like she had a blanket on. They kept her warm. M doesn't like to have her pic taken but D snuck this one in. Roo is on the couch, Chica is curled around M's neck, & June is laying on M's hip. She is only about 7 lbs & is a real sweetie. When we got her a couple of weeks ago she was very frightened & she actually snapped & pulled away from M. Now she dances, follows M around & has definitely warmed up to all of us.
Do you know who this is??? This is Chica playing kill the rope. She shakes this so hard that sometimes she knocks herself off her feet to her knees. M hopes she doesn't give herself a whiplash or something.
It was realllllly hot. I was playing in my big water dish. The water from the well is very cold. But sure feels & tastes good. Even June liked to drink from it. She had trouble getting to the water so M picked her up & put her in it. She didn't mind one bit. Who knows if it was deeper she might even have learned to swim....
This little guy spent a lot of time hanging out in this tree. It was next to our water bowl. You know the big blue one.
He's getting ready to go into the water. We saw him in it but didn't have the camera ready. M did get a video clip of him walking on the edge of it BUT then I saw him & scared him off. He is FAST. He was up that tree in no time - I almost had him though.
Missed him. Maybe next time.
The girls in the "circus wagon" - Roo, Chica, & June
This white & black butterfly must have been thirsty. I didn't smell anything but we heard that they were called skunk butterflies. That person must have been pulling our legs.
Taking a rest. It was hot & "pulling" & posing with the circus wagon is hard work. Actually I didn't do any pulling - I just pretended.
Here I am patiently waiting for the squirrels. I know they are all around us.
The yellow butterfly seemed to like the yellow flowers.
M liked this dandelion puffball next to the nurse log.
Because of eagles & hawks & coyotes & other critters the girls had to be either on a leash with M & walking or in this wagon when they were outside. The green shade cloth really helped them stay cooler in the heat & with the circus wagon they could be pulled into the shade.
I am watching over the little ones. It would be more fun if they could run & chase with me.
M & D were gone for awhile cuz they went for a ride in the Rhino ( no not the big animal - this has 4 wheels). Anyhow they saw some horses & M took pics of them for K the biped grandaughter who loves horses.
These 3 horses really stayed close to each other. The one in the middle was smaller. M says she didn't look really close but she thought maybe they were a family.
M went crazy with the flashy thing & the horses. Think she is going to printoff these & the other ones she took & send them to K.
This one seemed very friendly. M wished she had something she could have given them. The black one actually came up & "herded" the brown one away from the fence. Kinda pushy.
We had a fun time but came home to get ready for an Adoption Event on Saturday. June & John (who is with another foster family now) both have meetings with potential adopters. Hope things work out for them. The Shelter Challenge is over. We finished in 5th place in WA, which is pretty good when one thinks about the number of shelters. Would have been nice to have been 1st but that is the way it goes sometimes. Thank you all who helped us with the voting!!!!
Roo is still needing a home. She is a real sweetie but M thinks sometimes people don't see past her deformed elbow. She has been with us 4 months. We think she thinks she is home.
Don't know if you remember Remy. He is our friendthe Australian Cattle Dog who had surgery on both his knees. He is doing OK & he might come to visit us for a few days. Will let you know.
Enjoy the weekend...
