This is our sweet terrier mix, Sadie in a rare moment of napping. She is always on the go. No photos of the Pomeranian Kodi this week.
We play fetch several times a day. She never gets tired of it. I quit before she ever does. She’s our cheerful dog. This is how we started out Thanksgiving morning. Over and over again. (only a ten second video)
My wife’s cousin sent me a couple of photos of the cows on their ranch in Western Oklahoma.
Another photo of the cows at the ranch.
This is my own photo of a cow, I went hiking on a rails to trails trail in Osage County. It cuts through ranchland on an old railroad bed. I know nothing about cows but they always act curious when people show up.
I went hiking on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain Wilderness Area early Friday morning. My friend and I saw this deer checking us out.
I attended a geocaching event at Tulsa’s Mohawk Park and encountered these people horseback riding through the park.
We finally took our new dog, Sadie, the terrier mix, to a dog park. It had been rainy and cold and we wanted to get our vet to clear Sadie so off we went on one sunny afternoon. Above is my wife Heather with Sadie and Kodi, our pomeranian, in tow.
Sadie loved it. She’s a social butterfly with both dogs and people. She was running here and there making friends with everyone. She was right at home. We kept asking her if she was looking for a new home.
Kodi has always like the park but is much more reserved. This time, our poor little dog, got run over by another dog and that was it for him. We were told when we got him that he is a little dog with BIG FEELINGS, and that is true.
Sadie is making friends with Lizzie the cat. Lizzie insists on boundaries though so even though they may be together eventually we hear a hiss and a paw whacking Sadie on the head when she forgets the boundaries.
Kodi being cute one evening. He looks like a little bear cub.
At Brookwood Pond in Tulsa, here is a Mother’s Day shot. Geese and goslings.
Also at Brookwood Pond, I’m sneaking up on Great Blue Heron. All I had for a camera was my phone.
And at Hunter Park in Tulsa, another phone shot of a Great Blue Heron.
In our backyard an Eastern Bluebird visited our camera feeder.
I attended an event at Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area and afterward went on a short hike. I was going along and I could hear all these birds up in the trees, but could I see them? No!! I then I got to thinking maybe they are not up in the trees, maybe they are down below so that is where I started looking and I started seeing all sorts of little birds close to the ground. I didn’t really have a good lens for taking photos so these are highly cropped and thus a little grainy. Above is a Carolina Wren.
And this is a Tufted Titmouse I think.
I guess that I am not as smart as I thought I was. I have walked miles in the woods over the years listening to the birds up in the trees and that is not where they were. Anyway, I finally learned something.
And Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers.. None of us would be here if were not for our Mothers. This Heather with our son Logan and Kodi back when he was little.
And here is my favorite photo of my mother. She loved fishing and she was good at it. She had mobility issues so she didn’t move around very much but she could catch the fish. This was her favorite spot on Birch Creek in southeast Idaho.
My wife took our little Kodi the Pomeranian to get groomed and came home with this Kodi the Bear Cub. Kodi loves getting groomed and made a fuss over. Of course he’s a guy and we guys all love feminine attention.
He loves to go swimming. We had a warm day and Heather put some water in his little pool and he just hops in and out and back in again.
Lizzie the Cat is kind of turning into my cat. Here she is sitting on my lap watching the NCAA Basketball Championship Tournament.
We had some pretty cold mornings. Here is a puffed up mourning dove trying to warm up.
I was home with son the other day and all was quiet and I came upon this scene. Lizzy the cat and Kodi the dog were laying close to each other without fighting. On these cold days they both like sunshine so they were enjoying each other’s company. Usually when Lizzy is in close reach, Kodi chases her.
They stayed that way for quite a while son and I gawked over them.
Kodi is enjoying the tree. Lizzy used to climb up in the tree and we had to perform several extractions, so far no extractions this year.
Kodi has really developed a taste for beef. We were reheating some leftover roast beef the other day and he decided wanted some. His system is delicate and so as a treat I give him deli beef used in sandwiches.
Lizzie found a Christmas throw on our sectional that she has taken over.
I wish each and every one out there in the interwebs a Merry Christmas, and if you don’t celebrate the holiday, I wish you peace and happiness. I get great pleasure and fulfillment from my “blog friends.” Photoblogs are the peaceful happy corner of the internet.
Hey its getting to be Christmas. We pulled the tree out of the attic and stood it up and guess what? The lights still light up!! Outstanding. Plus, it’s my tradition that when Heather turns her head I put the star on the tree. It stays up there until she notices it.
This is our Pom Kodi. It looks like he is looking at the tree. Nope, he’s looking at the door to the utility room waiting for my wife come home. Kodi likes her lots more than he likes me. Notice the topper on the tree.
Our cat Lizzy likes Christmas trees as well. When she was younger she would climb up into it. She always waited until it was fully decorated. Kind of hard to perform a cat extraction with a fully decorated tree. I thought I had a photo of her in the tree but I couldn’t find it.
Our silly Pom saw us getting on our scale so he tried it also. He even put all four feet on it. He was too light to register a weight.
And here he is chilling out in his bed waiting for my wife to come home. He thinks that I am no fun.
Here is the tree at our gym. Complete with a stuffed lion. This morning somebody added a full size kangaroo. I forgot to a photo of it so you will just have to take my word for it.
We went on a dog walk our greenbelt spotted this great blue heron looking lost. He was about 30 feet from a little creek. He let us get pretty close and then he flew up and got on the peak of a house nearby. He looked pretty comical. I didn’t take a photo because I am leery of taking photos of people’s homes,
I was at Woodward Park yesterday evening and up walked this gaggle of geese. They reminded me of a gang, marauding through the park. Luckily, they ignored me.
And that is all that I have this week. Actually, I have more, but this is enough for this week. Check out Saturday’s Critters.
Here’s Lizzie, our Christmas kitten. She has always loved Christmas. She likes to lay under the tree when the lights are on. When she is younger she used to climb up into the tree and so we had to perform a “Catectomy” pulling out of the tree.
And Kodi the Pomeranian. He loves to play.
He loves my wife. This is what he does when she leaves the house for any reason.
I didn’t have any new critter pics this week and was about to check out the archives when Lizzie the cat jumped up on the coffee table and said what about me? So I took her photo. So she is my Saturday Critter this week since it is Caturday, right?
Here’s our one year old pomeranian, Kodi. He was kind of shaggy so he went to the groomer today and he got all trimmed up and got a special Thanksgiving tie to boot. He tore it off very quickly but we got a photo of him.
Here he is in the back yard. He loves picking up acorns and bringing them inside to trade for a treat.
And a black and white cat who shows up when it is dark.
And sometimes in broad daylight.
And a first sighting for this light colored cat.
And of course squirrels. We are inundated with them.
We have a tennis ball in the back yard. He loves chasing it all over the place.
At night other critters come out. I have seen this bunny during the day.
The way the eyes light up is spooky!!
Lately we have this black and white cat checking things out. We still have people in the neighborhood who turn their cats loose and there are several feral cats outside as well.
Hey, a non-trailcam shot of some geese at a local park.
That’s all I got this week!! I’m linking with Saturday’s Critters
