The Day of TORMENT

Liberty (the dog) has killed a few chickens in her day.

Today was a day of rest, or so she thought. The chickens wanted to torment play.

Peck-and-Run is the name of the game.

hmmm... that didn't get her attention.

Another tactic -"Hey mutt, you wanna know a secret? YOU are a "yellow bellied" CHICKEN! Now get your lazy bones up and let's play!!

 I'll run - you chase!"

You are a lotta fun. I'm outta here!

Head to Head Line-up

Hike!.... Run Abbi. 

Go Long!!

Next play. 

Notice Rodeo - not sure if he is a player or a cheerleader. 

Nonetheless, he is RIGHT there!

I came home from helping Brian at the camp. The house was deafly quiet (an unusual occurrence around here). Tess and Dani were napping in my bed. And no one else was to be found. I finally heard some muffled shouts and laughter. I looked outside and saw that my chiluns had a full-on football game in play. I love it when they find things to do together and have fun doing it. 

Jeremiah Johnson

So... if you are a "wanna-be Jeremiah Johnson", you would have a porcupine as a pet, right?... Check!

Caleb found this baby porcupine and has named him "Scout".

 

Shhhh... baby porcupine sleeping.

(he really is asleep)

He napped most of the day in the trees around our house. 

Caleb handles and plays with him often so that he will get use to being handled and not be afraid of us.

Hopefully, this will help to avoid receiving his (very) unwanted quills.

Quite the pair!

Jeremiah Caleb calls him Scout because he likes to be high in the trees ---- a great place to "scout".

We all enjoyed watching him sleep in the tree. So cute!

How does he not fall out?

Fun, furry-quilled, friend!

Before and After

Hudson before...

Hudson - in the hands of Caleb

(yikes!)

Oh, the drama!

I showed Caleb how to use the clippers and left the room. I only know what took place in our kitchen that evening because Maggie took pictures. Not sure what "look" Caleb was going for (redneck?) but there was lots of laughing and hollering going on in there. 

When Caleb was done "doing his thing", I came in and tidied things up.

Hudson - After

Not ONE Word Wednesday!
