What's that?

 Oh Bella, what are you watching...........

 so intently?

We should have guessed.

We've seen the parent birds for weeks, flying in and out of  the gutter, chirping at each other.  But this is the first time we've seen the fledgeling.

Wordless Wednesday--What's he doing now?

Steps

 It's going to be George the Lad's First birthday soon.  Hope you've sent him your step pictures!

 It's pretty flat out here on the plains where I live.  Finding interesting steps was kinda difficult--most stairs are boring old concrete things.  However, we found some good ones in town one morning while on the coffee run.  Since I'm the only one who likes to go for car rides, I'm the only one in the pictures.

Get your pictures in, before it's too late.

Morning Walk

 It's getting warmer now.  So we've been going to the river for our morning walk--before snakes start moving, and gets too warm for us.  We love the river.  Bella chased a cyclist this morning.  She ignored one that passed her, then she was held while another went by and as soon as she was let loose, she took off after it.  Then I chased her.  So we were at the river way before Kendra.

 I went for a paddle. SHE did take videos; but they didn't come out very well.  I don't get in deep enough for a real swim, but I like the cool water.  Bella sometimes puts her front feet in. She prefers chasing the ducks.

 We explored.

 And sniffed for ages.

 There are lots of old Red Gums by the river.  They make wonderful nesting places for parrots and other birds.  This morning it was very quiet, all you could hear were birds:  Cockatoos, Kookaburras, Willy-Wagtails, pigeons, galahs, grass parrots, Eastern rosellas.......just loads.

 This group of Cockatoos was making quite a racket.  We didn't see any kangaroos; but there WAS kangaroo poo.  We also saw  a ball of fur with mouse tail and feet; so we knew a snake had been there sometime, too.

All too soon, it was time to go.  So back along the cycle way we went back to the car.  We love those walks.

Our New Stuffie

SHE took our new stuffie to Millie's house, to see what Millie thought of the Mini-Her.  Millie looked it all over and then......

Nearly chewed its nose off!

And the tail.

Guess she doesn't want any competition.

Apres le 'roo

 After my experience in the tall grass, persuing the kangaroo, I had to be brushed out.  I was covered in burrs.  Some had to be cut out.

 Then I had to have my armpits shaved  clipped because a few  grass seeds had started to burrow into my skin.  They were starting to fester; but I didn't complain.  I was even good while SHE pulled them out.

And a bit of flora isn't going to stop my hunting!

NEWS FLASH!!!!!

 Today, I Daisy, the huntress............

 CHASED......A......KANGAROO!!!!!!!!

Yep, you read that correctly!  This morning we went for a walk down by the river and a kangaroo jumped up out of the grass and I gave chase.  Sorry there's no actual photo because the dumb photographer didn't have the camera ready.  SHE was putting Bella on the lead because there was a man coming.  But I took off at top speed, leaping through the high grass and chasing it  for about 87 miles  200 metres!

Anyway, it looked like this.  It was a huge  a young Eastern Grey. (We had to get a picture off the internet.) It was MORE FUN than chasing a CAT!  It bounded through the tall grass and down the cycleway with me close behind until I lost it around a curve. (I was handicapped by the tall grass.)  I looked and looked for another one, but there weren't any...you know, we terriers just don't give up.  It took HER ages to get me back on the lead because I was SO EXCITED! I was also soaking wet,covered in burrs and grass seeds.BUT who cares. I CHASED A ROO!

Can't wait to go back!
