Catching up with Larry the Lobster

Have just re-met Larry the Lobster who is looking a little sunburned to me.  Last time I saw him, he was more of a brownish green and looking quite snappy. Now he just lays there bug-eyed.  

Second Island Visit

Just an update on my second trip to Chebeague Island and all is good.  Bus ride was OK, boat ride was nice as long as I could get under the seat to hide.  Talked to my people about the ocean rushing out to the left of the picture and they said sorry it will be straight in future images.  

First-ever Bus Ride

My first-ever bus ride on the way to the Island ferry.  Notice that I'm sitting by the Emergency Exit should something go wrong. 

Once on Chebeague Island, everything was paws up with not a single other dog/person on the beach during my Memorial weekend runs. 

A great place to get away from daily grind of squirrel chasing at home. 

Big Deal A+

My people took me to a "dogie day care" where they believe I'll be able to get in some exercise and training.  So, they leave me there for a four hour college-style dog test session.  At first, I didn't pay much attention but learned that they have a dog swimming pool so upped my game.  Of course, I came out with an A+ without even brown nosing the professor, big deal.  

Free Red

Guess my people have turned soft as they are giving the Red Tail's a safe haven, though it's behind bars.  

Of course I'm not sure that "Red" the squirrel is feeling that way as I swear I kept hearing him say "Please People, Protest and Free Red". Anyway I'm told that he's been moved to a nearby island.  

Some of My Friends in the Yard

Ok, so after the squirrel posting and a little negative feedback on my hunting, I'm thinking I would share some of the local animals that don't bother me and I don't bother them one bite--or I mean one bit.  

While they are here eating on high, I lurk in the bushes leaving them alone, while keeping an eye on the ground for vermin.  

Some of my friends like the Downy Woodpecker above.

                                            The American Goldfinch above.

And, of course, the Northern Cardinal.  Only a few of the some 20 or 30 visitors every day.

Squirrel Patrol

The hunt begins and there is one less squirrel in the neighborhood.  

 Services were held this weekend for the red tail.
