Mischief Monday - So Embarrassing

 Dear Pals,

Our peeps are pretty well trained these days (only took 10 years and a pandemic) and they do a good job at taking us on 3 walks most days. 

However, sometimes, their attire leaves a lot to be desired. That is right, they will take us out of the yard, in their pjs, in the day time. Thanks to the trail camera we have proof! What ever happened to dressing up to go out?

We just don't know what we are going to do with them!

Do your peeps do embarrassing things like this?

Nature Friday - Bird Edition

Thanks to Rosy for hosting Nature Friday. This week we share some assorted bird pictures from the Trail Cam.

First, one of Lady's favourites. She thinks it is some kind of flicker (which we recently learned is a type of woodpecker).

While the branch on the side caused some issues moving in the wind, it did give us some up close shots of the chickadee and blue jay.

And finally we have the loud crows. There are usually at least 3 around, but there can be more. They tend to be very loud. 

Training Thursday - by Phod

Lady, I don't understand what the problem is. Every time you work out, I come to support you and help you.  I can't imagine I am in your way.

A Professor Lee Tutorial

 Dear pals, this is your favourite teacher, professor Lee, here to give you a baby destruction lesson.

First, have a comfy place to conduct your amputation. I am partial to one of the beds in our dining room. I like to have other babies around to watch. 

  

You must be sure you have a good grip on it. You don't want the baby to escape. You will notice I use of my left claw. Skunk is not going anywhere. 

In my youthful enthusiasms, I use to dive in and rip them apart quickly. Now that I am a more mature 10 year old, I prefer a slower method. In the skunk example, over the course of weeks, I am removing a limb at a time. There is something far more satisfying about going slow and enjoying the destruction. However, I won't judge you if you prefer the quick death method. I do find the slow method is more annoying to my Lady, as there are little bits of baby daily on the floor.

I hope you found this tutorial helpful. Happy deading and destroying!

Mischief Monday - Our Worst Nightmare Come True - by Lee

We can hardly believe we have to write this and we are hardly strong enough to. You are not going to believe what happened last week.

Around midnight on Wednesday am, Lady and Man were awoken to the sound of Phod's tummy grumbling. In Lady's dreams it was a baby or a kitten and as she was waking up she couldn't believe we weren't at the patio freaking out.

As she lay there trying to go back to sleep, while Phod's stomach was gurgling, Lady was scared. She was scared because Phod has not been eating all his breakfast everyday for about 5 weeks (he eats fine later in the day) and the last time she heard gurgling like this was with angel Loki, while he was dying.

Then out of the dark she says to Man "Did we feed them dinner?"

Man replied with "No, I don't think so."

Helping Lady earlier that evening clean the kitchen

That is correct on Tuesday evening our people forgot to feed us dinner. So the loud noise of Phod's belly was him starving. Lady said she was shocked I put up with this. Usually if it is more that 15 minutes late, I am throwing the bowl around.

Lady got up, and gave us a sad midnight buffet. Sad, because the bucket was almost empty and it was not a full meal. Not only did she starve us, she then gave us subpar food. Further, she said we were not to get use to the midnight buffet. It was not going to become a thing.

Anyway, after we ate Phod's tummy was quiet and we all went back to sleep. 

The Lady and Man got a serious F for this move.  Lady says it is because of the pandemic. I personally think she has no one to blame for this but herself.  

Have your peeps ever forgotten to feed you? 

Nature Friday - Turf Wars

Thanks to Rosy for hosting Nature Friday. I brought the trail cam in because it said it had over 900 pictures on it. 850 were of a branch moving in the wind (we have put it in a new spot), but there were a few great ones. Those of you who follow me on other social media channels will have gotten a sneak peak at this.

The date stamp is wrong (I hope I have it fixed now!). This took place on September 2, in the early evening. The Man was in my office on the computer and saw some turkeys. I was sitting in the room you can see the windows of the house (that is our living/dining area). The Man asked me why all the turkeys and when I looked out there were like 4. We had no idea this was happening 20 feet from our house.
