Saturday’s Critters – Domestic Edition

Our new dog Sadie and me enjoying the backyard.

And a couple of bunnies.

The squirrels and bunnies are way too used to Kodi, the Pomeranian, who is more interested in barking at other critters than chasing them. Sadie is really interested in chasing them and is a lot faster than Kodi so the resident critters need to be more careful.

Speaking of Kodi here he is. Tail up high so we know he is in a good mood.

And a male northern cardinal out wandering around the backyard for some reason.

Cheek to Cheek

Sadie wants to be friends with Lizzie the Cat and Lizzie is okay with that but wants boundaries set. So they will lay cheek to cheek like this but Sadie wants to clean LIzzies ears and when that happens there is a lot of hissing, spitting, yowling and Sadie getting his head whacked on the head by Lizzie’s paws.

An elegant mourning dove at the camera feeder.

A 24 second video of some of the birds at the feeder. You can see more mourning doves, a northern cardinal, a common grackle, and a house finch.

That’s about it for this week. I’m linking with Saturday’s Critters

    Hello,
    I love that Sadie wants to be friends with Lizzie.
    Cute photos of Kodi with her tail up, Sadie and Lizzie look adorable.
    Great captures of your backyard birds. The doves look like they are eating fast, their heads bobbing up and down. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

    Nice photos and video. Little Sadie, you are so full of love, and it can be quite difficult to respect boundaries. A fun post to read.
