He was NOT INVITED

I was just laying in the shade 

near momma in the gazebo, 

when we heard a "plop".
She looked at me, I looked at her...
We turned to see what made the noise and
LOOK.........
he plopped into my water bowl.
I proceeded to tell him He was NOT Invited.

 Well, he didn't listen. 

But I had the last laugh,

I had just drank the last of the water.

BOL

NOOOOOOO............................

It's been so hot.... 

Buckingham Blitz

The Buckingham Blitz in Raymond, MN was really fun!

It was a two day Jack Russell Terrier trial.

In other words, racing and RATS!!!!

What could be more fun? *S* 

We arrived the day before and set up our "home"...

I got to play for a little bit with the other

Mid West Jack Russell Terrier Club 

doggies that I know.

Early in the day we go racing.

Then there was time for a nap

in my xpen before RAT time *S*

Finally it was RAT time...
first stop barn hunt.
Didn't take me long to sniff out that bad guy!
I see Daddy and Uncle Dale found a place to rest
while I checked out the rats.

This is the GTG (go to ground) tunnels.

I found the rat fast enough to get 3rd place 

 

This was something new.  Go Fur It.

 I had to run around and find an entrance to

 a tunnel that is underground. The tunnel

leads to a rat at the other end. I ran around 

till I found it. See it in that big log there?

 In and down I went. I had to go slow, 

cuz I is a big boy and the tunnel was little

and DARK.

 I found a little tunnel under there and turned.

I wasnt suppose to turn but I did. 

Big mistake. I tried to turn around but

I was too big for the tunnel and I got stuck.

I couldn't turn around, I couldn't back up.

Ummm mom....... come help me. 

I sat very still and quiet.

I knew momma was up there cuz

I could here her calling me.

So I waited. Nice and quiet. and waited.

How was I suppose to know she cant 

see me thru the ground? 

Finally after 15 minutes and 

(10 years off her life, she says) 

she dug up the tunnel and found me.

It's a great competition concept.

rodents everywhere..... ?

 Every where I sniff,

there is chipmunk smell 
or mice or rabbits

or squirrels!!!

The joys of living in the country.

Heaven for a jack russell terrier.

But aggravating too, when you can't catch 

them cuz of a dumb fence in between ya...

Then just when your frustrated enough,

along comes a tiny mouse plant....

 

Is mom just trying to drive me nuts?

return of IKE

remember IKE?
Ike is the cardinal that came every day for months
and months and banged on my window.
Then one day he banged so hard,
I had to pick him up and hold him.
Well, he is back. This time he is fascinated with the
side mirror and front fender of our truck.

 I hope this video works this time.
Shows IKE banging on the front fender of
our truck.
Birds are really goofy.

 to see the original movie of IKE banging on the window,

Today 

I played out side.

The chipmunks were teasing me.

We played a game.

I won.......

Goodbye, Rocky, my friend.

  

 From you I learned to smile.

I learned to enjoy life, no matter what.

I learned tunnels, a-frame, and teeter.

I marveled at your weaves.

I loved our walks in fairyland. 
We always had so much fun.

 

 You will always be my most special friend.

 Me and momma will watch over your momma.

It's nice to know you are now pain free

and running somewhere over the rainbow bridge with Chris.

2011 memorial weekend

Memorial Day weekend we

 took a trip to Wisconsin.

We stopped at a doggy park,

then continued onto "a watering hole" daddy likes.

It had a great view of the Wisconsin River

 When we got closer,

I went right in and checked out the water...

Then there was a stick floating by,

it sure looked like it needed help...

Huntyr to the rescue!!!

Put flowers in gardens.

Started the turtle and frog garden.

Worked on the fairy, unicorn and gnome garden

Look who came to check it out!

I tried to get him, followed him 20ft up the

tree, until momma said NOOOOOO.

She says he's a baby and off limits.

Off limits???!!!

What happened to "if it moves its fair game???"

another sad day....

I came here to write a short blog about one of the sweetest doggies you ever want to meet.
@sydpie
God decided we had our share of her smooooooches and he wanted his share so he took her to heaven today.

I just read @georgetheduck 's blog and I couldn't say things any better, so I would say,
please read his blog.

http://georgetheduck.com/2011/05/angel-sydpie/

There will never be another @sydpie with her smooches and pink bow...

Thank you God for giving us the time to know her..

sad thing.....

 Today daddy read this to me and momma,

we thought we should share the news....

(giggle)

IKE... the cardinal...

 Meet Ike.

Ike is a regular at momma birdfeeders.

 And he has a real problem with his reflection on our windows.

Today he really attacked his reflection

and found himself on the ground.

Luckily, momma was sitting right there and ran out to pick him up.

Not seeing much damage, she held him and waited for him to decide to return to the wild.

She picked him up and was able to carry him into the house

 to grab her camera.

I tried to help but she wouldn't  let me.

You will see the different backgrounds, as she stood in the yard,

 on the front porch and he stayed while she walked down the driveway to get the mail.

He was very content to sit on her hand

 and let her take all the pictures she wanted.

 She took tons of pictures and if you want to see them all,

you can at www.huntyr.com/ike.htm
