We have had such a super exciting morning. We got up at 5.30am to go to MY park and watch the sun rise but something even better happened. Mom was sitting on a log right next to the water edge when she saw Mr Beaver - he slapped his tail and went under but Mom watched the trail of bubbles he was leaving and was ready with the camera when he came up again. They are not great pics because it was still not very light but he was so close to us and guess what - he came with friends - we counted four of them!!! We are thinking it is a beaver family. Now of coarse we weren't interested in all in the silly old beaver - Dweeb was sitting by Mom's feet and I was sniffing around and found a big old grasshopper and you know what happened next -
I can't believe I ate it - YES I DID - just call me Captain Crunch and Munch! Mom turned around and mumbled "Erk Reilly - you can't be that hungry" I mumbled back with my mouth full of grasshopper bits that I had read grasshoppers are very high in protein. Mom did get some sunrise pics too - she says she loves the way it shine on our furs - what ever Mom! Thanks

was it tasty? And can you jump now like a grasshopper too? That would be great, imagine that... we could get the tree-rats with one leap!
ReplyDeleteOMD a crunchy snack indeed. Was it yummy? Lucky mum seeing a beaver.
ReplyDeleteWe have a spare slot for 'share it sunday' so if mum would be so kind as to send us a link to the post she'd like to showcase we will have it ready for sunday.

Beautiful sunrise pictures of your dogs.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see the beavers out for their morning swim. The water is so clear!
ReplyDeleteI read an article that said if we all started eating insects we could pretty much save the planet. Good for you Reilly for doing your part!
A grasshopper? Did it jump around in your mouth Reilly? That would feel weird, I think.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

Mommy said ... yuck... on eating the grasshopper.
