Fetching and New Neighbor

Fetching
So my humans are nuts.  They throw a ball and then stand there.  They expect me to go get it and give it back to them.  What?  That's just silly.  If you want the ball, don't throw it.

Plus, I'd like to eat the ball.  Or at least shred it!  Depends on the ball...  I'm very fond of soccer balls.  They make great fun at shredding.

Last night, I appeased Mom and the older girl (Liz).  Of course, they gave me a treat if I brought it to them.  Check out the video...  Mom wasn't thinking when she shot it in landscape.


Ok - so the video shows me doing it very well.  I'll have you know that I did it one more time and then took that ball to the couch!  Curled up in the corner of it!  That's right.  Then Mom took the ball.  Boo!

New Neighbor
So there's just some things outside that freak me out.  Have I told you about the Coyote pack near me?  No?  Oh that will be a flashback story then...

Our newest neighbor that moved in is a Cooper's Hawk.  He's one scary looking guy!  Dad ran out at 6:45am yesterday to snatch a picture of him.  It worries me that he'll fly off with a chicken ... or one of the girls!  I don't understand why Mom and Dad are so excited to see him.  Dad asked Mom if she was worried about the chickens.  She said, "No, it's the natural order of things.  Let it do its thing.  Birds of Prey have their place in our ecosystem."  What?  Miss Mighty Hunter she is said leave it alone?  Is she nuts?  She says it is being a responsible hunter - not the crazy kind you see on TV.

Whatever ... check out this bird!
