Sweaty pets

Pretty flowers all over my meadow... love them!

Just the other morning at 5:30 am a momma grizzly bear and two cubs(big cubs though!) walked through the meadow. What a sight to see! They mosied on through, didn't hang around for more than 5 minutes, which was good. One cub was looking kind of playful too as it seemed to bounce up to momma bear and then run away....it was quite entertaining even though it was 5:30am!

Here I am implementing "Operation: Keep Dogs In Meadow!!" (due to bears and porcupines and elk... it's a busy summer around here for wildlife!)

Lucy the biggest porcupine lover in my yard is occupied with something less spikey.

Luckily she is super easy to distract! :)

Frolicking... but not too far! Get back here Gracie-in-the-meadow!

Cherry-picker Lucy hangs out far away. That's how her little legs get her to the ball fastest! George is back there, but her main goal is to jump on Harris' head and bite him (lovingly) to show him who's boss.

The ball is under my foot here . They can really focus when they want to. There were 6 heads in total surrounding me, haha.

Playing ball does the trick. These little maniacs are totally addicted. Sleds? Skis? Snow? Eh, whatever! Let's move to Mexico so we can play ball all year!

Mohawk boy Harris. I wonder why my cabin is so hairy?

Yep, that's pretty hairy. And I've *tried* to brush him but these guys don't seem to like to sit still for a few minutes for a brushing. And since it's not MY favourite activity, I let them get away with it.

And my new (stolen) idea for a new business:

Lots of this stuff around here in the summer. Care to buy a bottle? :)
