Visiting Friend & Hound Puppy Rescue 11 Yr. Later!

I visited my friend, Barb, 2 wk. ago and she has the nicest Siamese cats...these two cuddle up to sleep together.

 We drove over to look at the new buffalo farm not too far away.  Are these guys big!!!  I wasn't too impressed with their fencing for such weighty animals, so we didn't go too close to bother them, took pics. from a distance.

You can't really get the full impression of the size of this big boy, but that was a full round bale of hay he's eating.  The head alone, is enormous.

This is Craizin and Mac, two lovely Australian Shepherds.

 And this special boy is Isaac.  A friend near me, our local mayor at the time, and I took 10 hound puppies from a place in our township eleven years ago.  They were going to be shot the next day, as the man who owned them and their mom along with a couple of others, couldn't sell them for $50. each.  We did find homes for them within a couple of weeks.  They were very cute pups.  Barb took Isaac.  We hadn't been too sure of his fate, as he had a crooked/turned paw and ankle.  Our wonderful vet operated on him and it seemed to straighten out somewhat for a period of time, but eventually turned back again.  It never stopped Isaac.  It is the one he has his full weight on in the picture above.

You can see how it turns here, it has never caused him any concern, he runs and never had any trouble on stairs.  He's a very happy boy, and a very lucky one, that Barb has given him such a good life. 

The Bunnies are STILL White!

 And this means winter is still lingering.  They are just getting some brown hairs scattered here and there, but looks like winter isn't done with us yet.

Having said that, we, and some southern areas of Ontario are under various winter and storm warnings for the next couple of days.  At least the bunnies are cute!

Took a leave from the blog..

I've not given up on the blog, it's just been frustrating having nothing but pictures of snow, and snow, and more snow, with dogs playing in it!!!
And that's still not changed.  It is the 9th of April, I'm heading down to my clubs' tracking test this weekend to be a tracklayer, and the forecast for my drive down is another large dump of snow.
So, just a few more snow pictures here, and I sure hope these will be the last of those!!! We do have spring birds returning, feel sorry for them.  And we have had some melt and some rain, but then more snow keeps coming in.
At least there won't be snow (I don't think) at the tracking test location.

 This fellow arrived a few days ago after rain, before next snowfall and scratched around in dead leaves at edge of forest.  The ground was solidly frozen, so there were no worms.  I threw out some oranges, cut up, don't know if he came back.

 The red-winged blackbirds began to arrive during a new snowfall and scrounged around under the feeders.  At least they have some food.  And we ALWAYS get a snowstorm after their arrival in the spring!

 This grouse, and two others come every morning and at dusk to feed under the feeders.  He/she saw me peeking through the bedroom window.  And below, Blast is perfectly happy to have snow as long as it lasts!
