Way too hot.

We go in November and return in March.

Weighing in at 55 lbs. and 15 inches tall, Bella is the undisputed champion chasing every last UPS, USPS, FEDEX, garbage truck, and box truck going 19,387 and 0 having chased virtually every single offending object or person who attempted to invade our yard.

Our Bella was a rescue pup. Her first 7 weeks were spent under an Olds 88 up on blocks. Her mom was a boxer and a big one at that. she was tethered to the rear axle with a heavy chain.

I put 7 puppies in my truck. I removed those that seemed too shy or too forward and what was left was this runt, now almost 12 years old.

What a sweet face !!!

I don't understand how somebody can listen to a dog barking for hours on end without it driving them crazy... like it does to their neighbors.
Some breeds don't mind being outside, huskies are a good example. People who raise hounds leave them out and don't seem to notice the constant ruckus because the dogs want to be doing something.

Others such as retriever breeds are more social and are meant to be part of the family.

My 2 year old Lab wants only love, and offers only love!

Do you ever see them? I've only seen one in my lifetime, and it was while glassing some deer on the opposite ridge. It walked from left to right, across the ridge. I guess it was visible for about 2 or 3 minutes. What amazed me the most was how fluid it looked. One of those things I'll never forget!!!

Haven't seen one yet. Just on the game cams. The neighbor lady down the ridge seen one walking across her deck last spring.

A couple of times I got the sensation of "I'm not alone". Creepy, so I had my head on a swivel walking back to my place.

Over the years, we've had the best luck with the runt of the litter. Best flushing bird dog was a rescue that came as a pair with his litter mate brother.

We see mountain lions from time to time, but not often. I would rather see a black bear anytime.

I'd rather not see a mountain lion here either, as they allegedly are extinct here and we don't need another "endangered species."

In your last picture, they really are just getting to know each other, they aren't even sniffing each other's butts yet.

Butt sniffing happened in the "hineymoon" phase last week.

Let me add that of the pair we "rescued" (adopted), the small female was a champion bird dog but came down with cancer and her surviving brother couldn't get over it. He would just sit and stare out the window looking for her and this went on for months. Here are my two original rescues and her brother staring out the window looking for her.




We decided to try to get another small female "birdy" puppy from the same kennel that our two rescues came from in hopes he would recognize the scent and accept her as one of the pack he came from. We got lucky and found the kennel and verified through AKC records.


After a few months we connected with a champion in training. We occasionally called the new puppy the same name as his sister and he accepted her immediately. He was a little confused but I think recognized her scent. Instant hit and here they are, guarding me 24/7.



Alls well that ends well. Big dog; little dog.


EDIT-In the photo of the two of them guarding me, note the Dogtra vibrate collar on the puppy. Trust but verify.

They are supposed to be extinct here also, but the large increase in the numbers of deer and turkey is bringing them back. Several captured on video in this area, and I got a glimpse last year of what I believe was a mountain lion running into the creek behind our house.
