When Bambi met Sean.

WARNING:  Wordful Wednesday's Post is a little graphic today, for those of you who don't get to experience living with a hunter like I do, you might not want to read this post.

So what is Sean doing in this photo you ask??    Sharpening his knife.  Why? 

Because he killed a Unicorn.  Or at least that's what he told me when he called me from the deer stand.  I believe his exact words were,  "I've killed the most elusive animal in the world, Jenna a unicorn!"  He needed his knife sharp to skin it and cut out the meat so we can eat him!  We LOVE deer meet and deer sausage and deer chili and deer jerky and deer burgers and deer... well I guess that's about it

He's seen this deer every year for three years and for the last three years it's only grown one horn.  He wanted to kill it to get it out of the breeding gene pool.  (It was my Idea to put his hand up in place of the horn..I thought it was funny last night...now..not so much)

Banjo had to get in close for a sniff,  I think he was dreaming of all the table scraps he would get from this guy later on.

Birdie, was quite curious,  Banjo was around last deer season and knew what he was dealing with,  Birdie was very intrigued.  Banjo tried to explain to her that he was dead and we were going to eat him later, but Birdie kept barking like a maniac. 

Oh and Sean also killed this demon.  The Coyote.  They get after the calves during calving season and so Sean is happy to kill them at any time. 

This was a big coyote.  He was bigger than Birdie and Banjo.  Banjo was scared of him and Birdie constantly growled at it.  I'd never heard her growl before and for a little girl she has a very intimidating growl.  (I edited the photo because I didn't think you wanted to look at his innards)

And now just because I exposed you to that gruesome post of photos, I thought I'd leave you with this cute picture I found on Google, to erase the dead animals from your brain...

You're welcome.

Throwing Dog Food

My Dogs are Funny Animals.  They both have unique little personalities that constantly crack me up!  Banjo alway has a "toy" in his mouth and it's almost as if holding something in his mouth is a security blanket for him. 

Birdie has a mind of her own and is of a free spirit.  She doesn't have to have her humans around her much.  Like this morning, I was watching her out the window to see what she was up to.  She weaved back and forth through the pasture and was following a hot trail.  I couldn't figure out what she was doing so I watched her for about 10 minutes.  She ventured far out into the pasture over 300 yards and suddenly came Running back head in the air, tail wagging, and something in her mouth. 

She ran onto the porch and proudly presented me with a large mouthful of geese feathers, to which I thanked her for and she went on her merry little way. 

On my lunch break we started playing a game, which I thought I'd take pictures of.   So this is Birdie learning Hand-eye coordination...or mouth-eye coordination rather. 

With a piece of food I made her sit and then threw it up into the air....And she looked at it real close...but didn't open her mouth.  It hit her in the chin and then fell to the floor where Banjo was greedly waiting to gobble it up.

Take two.... she missed entirely but Did open her mouth... I kind of like the deer in the headlights looks she's giving in this picture...And the way her ears curl back like a Longhorn's horns.

And finally She got it!! (and I can't believe I actually got a picture of the food actually in her mouth)   Banjo tried for the food too but was too slow. 

And after a few more times she never missed again.

Arrgf..the Big Dog and his big chops caught it first time.  Are those lips just not so kissable!...no?  Ok then.

So now...don't you feel good now that you totally just wasted three minutes of your life reading about my lunch break and how I sat on the porch and threw food at my dogs?!  Good Glad I could entertain you.  :)

ps.  It was raining when I took these pictures, that's why their hair is matted...I don't just let them run around looking like that any regular ol day. Ok I have to admit that that sentance makes me sound like a manaic obessesd with her dogs, while actually I'm just using them to replace the hole in my life that would be filled with Children if only children were hasslefree and would let me throw food at them.

Monica's Photos

Hey everyone I just wanted to let ya know that my Cousin Monica was inspired to start her own blog and you should go visit her and say hello!  She was nice enough to invite me to come take photos at her In-home Day care of all her Kiddos and I'm super excited!!

We did photos for their first Family Christmas card and I just wanted to give her a little preview of the photos...these are just a few of my favorites.

Her Daughter Bella just turned Five and Gavin is almost one I believe.  They are both so precious!!
