Swimming Pool for Bay Bay

Swimming Pool

The Mama and the Daddy went to the big store today and bought me a big pool to get in. I like to get wet sometimes on hot days to cool me down. I had a small tub before, but now I have plenty of room to get in and get wet. Click on me to make me big.

California Campin’

Hotel Dogs

We try and make the puppies comfortable when we bring them with us to California. Cabela and Bay Bay always have relocation and separation issues when traveling or checking into a hotel. The best solution for them is to make them feel at home by bringing toys and chews for them. Click on the image to enlarge.

Vigilant

Vigilant

Bay Bay and Cabela stand watch in their usual position on the top of the love seat. If anyone or anything is on the road out front, they will let us know. Fortunately, neither of them bark at birds other than the roadrunner that comes around once in a while. Click on the image to enlarge.

Curve Billed Thrasher

Curve Billed Thrasher

Verna thinks that we have had a “bumper crop” of birds and other critters this spring. We witnessed three of these curve billed thrashers as eggs in the nest, hatchlings begging to be fed and as fledgelings just leaving the nest.

We especially note a lot of juvenile Gambel’s quail running around with their parents, sometimes as many as a dozen. I will post photos of these camera-shy little quail when and if I can.

I took this photo of a thrasher atop the crook upon which hangs the block and bell seed feeders. The bird was waiting its turn as another thrasher was on the bell pecking below. Click on the image to enlarge.
