Hi Y’all!
Grits seem to be a love hate subject.

Good night Irene, Hawk! You've covered a lot today! I love the geese. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE grits! Had some with eggs just yesterday. And plenty of salt. Why do grits seem to need so much salt?

Anyway I love the photo of the cardinal and the flower. Those are my favorite pics in this post!

Grits can be as salty, or not, as you like. Usually it is what you add to your grits that determines the saltiness.
Grits can taste like whatever you like. Sometimes we have cheese grits, and the cheese taste dominates, so you pick a cheese you like to melt into the grits. Sometimes my Human Papa makes something he calls “red eye gravy” that makes grits more of a supper than breakfast. You can just salt and pepper them, add eggs and bacon or any single or combination of things you want.
I had an interesting comment about the Dokken…
Great post, Hawk, I think you answered all of our questions! Now, I had never heard of a Dokken or who it was named after, except there used to be a rock band called Dokken. I wonder if that was where their name came from too? I might have to look that up! :)

Now that’s one I can’t answer! ???
I got this comment, question about the squirrel…
What a great recap Hawk and thanks for clearing up what the squirrel was eating. So the hawks will come down and gobble up squirrels?
Thanks for joining the blog hop! Happy Thursday!!
Hawks fly over and scream to scare anything from field mice to rabbits and squirrels into running for cover. Birds freeze their position and most animals do also. If a hawk spots any movement he’ll dive on the spot and snatch the unlucky critter. Chicken hawks are smaller hawks and are known to prey on birds.
Friday’s post “My World” brought these comments…
Hope all is well with you, and that your vet app was routine?
That horse is beautiful!!!! I have had a love for horses my whole life. owned 2 of them when I was younger.
Have a great weekend.

Did you have fun saying hi to all the other animals?
I think everyone knows how the vet appointment went. My eye is still bothering me, but my Human has doubled down on my allergy pills and is giving me extra eye ointment at night. The mean scale we don’t discuss. I just keep dieting.
I love stoppin’ and talkin’ to the animals! They like it when we come to see them too.
About “My World in Black and White”…
Is that you? It seems that you are running fast. Have a wonderful Sunday. Happy Black n White Sunday. Golden Woofs
Is that you? I can't really make it out that well, but lovely scenery, we love long grass to run in, BOL!
Lots of Woofs from Earl and I at Earls World!
Wow, did you get a new groomer??? Mom loves that picture, she loves those animals!
MOL! At first I thought it was YOU!!
What even is it? A donkey? A llama? So lost Hawk, so lost. MOL!
Have a pawsome day!

Um Hawk? Did a wicked witch come and turn you into a donkey? Cuz you're looking mighty strange today. I mean the fur is similar, but my what a big snout you have!
Is that a burro? Really cool picture. Bark More, Growl Less Barking from the Bayou!
The only groomin’ I get is a brushin’ and occasional bathing. I don’t think my nose is as big as theirs either.
These four legged critters are donkeys or burros, since the two terms are interchangeable. The male donkey is a jack and the female a jenny. The baby donkey is a foal.
About our Wordless Wednesday post…
That's really neat! Hap-Pee Belated Birthday, Hawk! Got cake????
.
Love Is Being Owned by a Husky thrilled me with a birthday picture…which I shared on Wordless Wednesday.
Don’t I look so neat in a hat!? (and I didn’t even have to wear it for real)
Sorry, no cake…my Human says it’s not on my diet. I did have a really fun day!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
Y’all hurry back now!
Great re-cap Hawk and we so agree, don't mention the D word. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Love it, more donkey pics! Sorry, I think I missed your birthday. I will bake up a zero calorie bacon cake for you to make up for the oversight! Have a great day!
ReplyDeletePoor Hawk... no birthday cake :-( And grits? YUM! We ALL love grits at our house! The dogs start drooling when they smell them cooking.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining the hop. I am behind reading again. I always forget that Hawk is a couple of weeks younger than Thunder. Hope you had a happy birthday Hawk! Diets are no fun!
ReplyDeleteThat birthday picture is an awesome gift! Hope you had a great one and that your eye stops bugging you soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Hawk! I didn't know you had been to the vet, & I am sorry to hear you have allergies (so do I). Have you heard of Apoquel? I wrote a post about it earlier this month, its a new allergy drug for dogs, suppose to be very good. Also, I can recommend a great shampoo for your itchies if you're interested. Love Dolly Pees: What kind of diet are you on? Have you seen the Hills Pet metabolic food giveaway?
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Brown Dog ;)
ReplyDeleteI had to google "grits" - I'd never heard of it!
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are beautiful.
We hope you had a wonderful birthday, Hawk! All the pups are so upset that you didn't get any cake!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for answering our questions as always Hawk! And I am SO glad you liked your card!!! I appreciate you sharing it twice! And giving me a shout out while your at it. I really appreciate it! And we worked hard on your glad, so again, so happy you enjoyed it!!!! ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess I stumped you with my rock band reference. That probably only means that your Mom is far younger than I am!
ReplyDeleteI did look it up, and it turns out one of the band members also had the last name "Dokken". Not a very common name though I'd say!
Jan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
Great follow up. Hope you eye gets better soon. Such lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post. Thanks for joining the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love grits and mostly just eat them with butter and salt, and occasionally cheese. :-)
Thanks for answering my question about the squirrels. We have a few hawks around me but I've never seen them in action. I'm not really sure I want to either. I can be a bit squeamish. ;-)
