K is for Know

 

Hi Y’all!

 

K is for “know”…’cause I know and you want to know what I know…so now I’ll answer your questions so you know it too!

 

Sue asked about Fun and Fear…was I going to fill y’all in about the big animal paw print…(top right, Papa’s foot bottom left)

P1190807

We do have black panthers, bears and bobcats…it seems too big for a bobcat.  It definitely isn’t a bear track…We found two different distinct tracks that appeared to be from the same animal.

Amber, I was very uncomfortable after I scented that critter!  It was a strong scent.  Notice the drop in my tail…

Of course I had to keep going to warn my Humans if danger came to close.

 

Thunder and Storm said “oh no, did you get too close to the nest?”

P1190847

See the pine in the far left of the above picture?  That’s where the nest is located…and where I was headed when the guard goose threatened me.

Dawn wanted to know if I had my feelings hurt?

Those silly geese!  They don't know how much fun this is!

I sure did!  The geese always just accepted me.

MadelineAnn asked if I had to smell both sides of the leaf for a scent.

P1190853

Can’t really say.  It depends on what scent I pick up.  Sometimes I have to sniff an entire branch.

Goose asked about the same photo…what are you pointing at there?

Just paused to take a sniff, is all.

Sugar wants to know if I did something…on my Independent post.

No, I didn’t do anything bad.  Some people think my breed is stubborn.  We were bred to retrieve from the cold water of the Chesapeake Bay.  We can find the bird when other dogs can’t.  However, when we are training, sometimes we know more than the human…and insist on “doing it our way.”

Saved by the Dogs has heard that some people live with dogs who aren’t independent thinkers…hmmm…that’s food for thought.

I hope I answered all your questions.  Now I have things to do.

Y’all come back now!

  8. I think the black panther scares me more than a bear! Be careful out there, Hawk.

  14. So it was a panther then, right? Thanks for answering my question, but you linked my name to the Cardis. Not a big deal. I love the two Cardis. But Maya and Pierson are jealous. ;)
