Sunday leftovers

 The fog rolled in a few times this week.

 I couldn't find the herd on these occasions...

 ...and had to resort to artsy-fartsy photos instead of my usual fare.

To my way of thinking, a photo isn't complete unless there's an animal in it...

...even if it's an unhappy animal.

This bunny is happy now but I'll bet he wasn't when something was taking a bite out of his right ear.

The noise behind the haystack emerged Saturday afternoon. Smooch warned me immediately.

I wish you all could see Smooch in action when she finds a snake, but the circumstances 

don't allow for picture-taking. She keeps a very respectful distance from the snake, barking 

her loudest, most alarming bark until I get outside. Once she knows I know where the snake is, 

she runs to the door to be let inside the house. I rope the snake and put it in the snake box...

...while Smooch watches from her safe spot.

Then I give her a treat (or two or three) and tell her what a most excellent snake spotter she is...

...then she yawns and stretches and says, "Just another day at the office."
