When my yard is quiet I just watch the dog....Ben. He always
knows where the action is. I just get down on his level and
look in the direction he is staring.
When he isn't relaxing on the swing.....
or sunning on the porch
He's watching the yard .....
On this day he was watching a young squirrel trying to
crack open a walnut
He bears down and bites while holding tight
gets a firm grip and bites some more
Now he's making progress
Looks like hard work for this young'un
So hard in fact, I think he fell asleep from the stress..
Now.. on another day... Ben was staring toward the building
where we store our mowers, and so I got down and sighted
in to see what his interest was.
Mr. Groundhog was enjoying a nice apple that fell from the tree
Like the squirrel he turns it and bites into it
He doesn't know he has an audience of two... Ben and me
The shoot was interrupted by Ben running
through the yard.. ears flying....as if he could catch it
It was long gone by time he got there.
Although... at an earlier time he has cornered a young
one and had a little talk with it before I lassoed him and
drug him into the house.
Ben and me... adventures in the yardTo God be The Glory ~~ Great Things He Hath Done.
