SIX! Days Remaining!

 

 

Hi Y’all!

 

P1460719

It’s time for Thursday’s Barks and Bytes Blog Hop hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs and Heart Like a Dog.

And joinin’ up with Ruckus the Eskie and Love is Being Owned by a Husky in Thoughtless Thursday.

 

P1460727

And…the countdown continues! 

Going back to last Thursday’s post

Ruckus Eskie  asked

“Is that a fast action tail wag? Thanks for sharing on Thoughtless Thursday!”

P1450157

 

It is movin’ as fast as I am, just side to side and in a circle!  Oh, and don’t forget the “ear wave!”

 

Immo queries…

“Are you wearing the vest because of hunting season?” ... dogvesthunting.blogspot.com

 

 

P1460448

It sure is!  (hunting season).  And we never worried because we hike on private land that is posted “no hunting”.  However it adjoins private land owned by others. P1460417Last year the Humans noticed a hunting platform just below the property line and decided I needed a vest.  I always wore a red collar, but my Humans felt I’d be safer in this vest.

Hey, I wear a life vest when I’m out in the boat.

Jumping ahead to Sepia Saturday’s post on My Changing World…

Marii Lg asks

Going swimming? :)

 

P1460621

 

Thinkin’ about it!

 

P1460616

Moving on the Sunday’s post Black and White and Bird…

Mark Muller  

“the bird looks a little lonesome, do you think he would like some company? Have a wonderful Sunday!
Easy Rider”

 

Gilligan Ahoy 

“What kind of bird is that? A stork?”

 

P1460622

 

He is a Great Egret.  With his yellow bill he spears fish.  He has black legs and is only slightly smaller than the Great Blue Heron.

P1460638

 

The Great Blue in contrast…

 

P1460715

 

Both birds can fold their necks into their shoulders.  And I’m sorry Easy, I don’t think he’s lonely. 

 

P1460624

 

Movin’ on to Mischief Monday’s Ten More Days…

 

Susan Willett  asks…

“That's frost, not snow? Wow!
--Wags (and purrs) from
Life with Dogs and Cats.”

 

Laika wonders… 

“Heavy frost while there are leaves on the tree?”

 

P1460702

 

It rarely if ever snows here in the southeast U.S.  This was an early and very heavy frost. 

P1460670

Yes, there are still leaves on some of the trees…this is the land of myrtles, live oaks, Palmetto trees and Spanish Moss (known locally as “air plants”). (Cypress lose their needle like leaves.  They turn brown when the days shorten and then they shed them)

and Jerry E Beuterbaugh  from As the Crackerhead Crumbles questions

“10 days until what?”

 

P1460676

10 days ‘til Santa Claus comes!

P1460682

Santa Claus brings us pawed ones presents! 

P1460689

 

Today is Thursday…ONE WEEK remaining!

P1460688

Y’all know that Hanukkah began on Tuesday at sundown and ends December 24th.  So Happy Hanukkah everyone!

 

P1470017

 

Y’all come on back and join me in fitness fun tomorrow!

  6. You be careful out there, some hunters tend to ignore rules and property lines!

  7. Your human is very wise Hawk. Sampson and Delilah have vests for hunting season too, even though I try to stay out of those areas. Especially Sampson as he is more of a deer color than Delilah is.

    Thanks for joining the blog hop.
