Dang dogs!

[Dusty Britches]

Last night we slept with the windows open and Tex's dog kennel is just outside the window. He has a wooden deck to keep him clean.

About every 15 minutes, he'd jump up and run to the other end of the kennel, nails slipping the whole way, then he'd bark.

I finally got up and spotlighted the pasture. There was a dozen glowing eyes shining back at me. Coyotes, I muttered. They'll leave now.

I let Tex out, so that his nails wouldn't wake us and I went back to bed.

15 minutes later, he's barking. Then Stryker is barking inside the house. I went back outside with the spotlight. This time, they were on the opposite side of the house - only it wasn't coyotes. Deer. And lots of them. That put me in a good mood!

I brought Tex in and put the dogs in their spots to sleep. Of course, Tex was hot and panted loud enough to wake the dead!

Living in the country is terrible, ain't it?

Sounds like Tex and Stryker are good boys! Doing their jobs! Extra cookie for them this morning.

Dang: Don't those wild animals ever sleep? Guess you need to get another bow or something to be ready for them when the season opens.
