Ah, warm sunlight takes all the cares away (as if he even had any!) BTW John, I love that clock - is it an antique? If so does it work? Any long story to share about it?

Thanks Ron.  That clock was hand made by my father-in-law about twenty years ago, and it works.    Woodworking was his hobby and we have a lot of pieces around the house that are from him.   

Thanks for your reply! Cool that he has made many pieces for the two of you. A monetary estate passed on is nice, but cherished hand crafted pieces live on forever.

Southern doodles in the snow

Yep doodles have webbed feet and long legs so they can just “snowshoe it”. My niece said that her mini dachshund “was NOT having it”. I thought yeah he was dragging something important in the freezing snow. Meanwhile my doodle just curled up like a husky and took a nap in the snow.

The composition, lighting, exposure, and expression on this one is damn near perfect!

I am a big hunting dog person, but my BFF passed and I took in her two older rat terriers. I got them last May and honestly can’t imagine life without them. In the past I have had cats, chickens, and other critters, but was trying to downsize.

Good on you @BeanHead Looks like harmony in the expanded pack.  Your BFF certainly is looking in on all of you with a smile.

I had one of these pop the heads off at least four chicks one year. I’m still blaming a raccoon for a couple, but the trail cam footage was too blurry for a conviction.

Isn’t that hunting over a baited field?

Yup. I ended up adding corner panels and it stopped the rampage.

Very nice looking birds. They look super healthy and well cared for.

those occasionally pick off a squirrel off my feeders without hitting the glass window, the red tails would probably crash and die into the glass.

My wife likes rodents for some reason. One day looking out the window we had a red squirrel standing up eating something, so I called to her "hey look at this". As soon as she looked a hawk flew down and grabbed the squirrel and flew away. I was subsequently called an #$%^$@. Like I somehow trained the hawk to grab the squirrel the second my wife came for a look.

Just between us, how long did it take to train that hawk?

Your boy up for stud service @hoosier_egger? I assume you got him fixed but just curious.
