From Bat Dog to Drum Band?

This is a fantastic new video from Sylvia Trkman, my most favorite agility instructor. I know what I will be teaching next winter!!! And certainly Roscoe will have to be band leader!

We played around with the sequential photo feature of the camera at agility class. Lisa managed to get this one of Roscoe. I guess next week we will have to try from the other side where the sun is so he isn't a black shadow blog. We got a lot of empty tunnel holes, but we will keep trying.

I am off to BARK camp tomorrow, yesterday dogs got nails done, Spur had his paws trimmed, and the start of my TWO WEEKS VACATION!! YAY!!! It doesn't mean I won't be posting here, I go to BARK camp until Monday - oh I can't wait for BARK - then the rest of my time is here at home. Home, home, home, I love my home and a vacation at home is the greatest thing. I plan to ride sweet Jewel, garden, read books, paint the house, play with the dogs, have a swim date party for Spur. Little buggar needs some extra lessons on swimming. He WANTS to swim, but isn't that confident, yet. I will get to meet my friend's new African Grey Parrot, Lebec. She picks her up this weekend and I can't wait to meet her. TWO WEEKS VACATION!!! This will be the third time in my life I have taken that much time off. Wahoooooooooooo!!! Now, if it will just not rain the whole time that would be OK with me.

Look who showed up yesterday, hunting varmints (that's odd, I think of a fox as a varmint, too, and come to think of it perhaps there are days I call the Pin Heads - VARMINTS!!!! That means they all hunt each other? That's true, absolutely!!!) in the freshly mowed field. Handsome buggar! Miss Colby Carlson could smell him/her and was barking like crazy in the yard. I guess she wanted to hunt that varmint!!! Obviously, she didn't scare it off. I am just glad I didn't head out for a walk. We were going to, but AGAIN the radar showed a batch of red heading right towards Cape Elizabeth! It ended up just south of us and out to sea, but the sound of the thunder had Roscoe too nervous.

Heading in for a snack. You know a freshly mowed field often ends up with dead rodents that couldn't get out of the way of the tractor..............

Spotted me with my camera.........

I rained on it's parade.......

and off it went...........can you tell what it's thinking?..... Damn that human, what the heck, I was just out for a meal. Can't they share the bounty? Moments later it was back and I let it be. This morning it was joined by a juvenile. Cute little buggar!!!
