The dogs and I spent the day yesterday serving an assortment of Harris’s Hawks – the local Red Tails are not at flying weight yet.

Dog butt (not one of mine), Harris’s and Pheasant.

Good reds this year.

The getaway.

Sphagnum and granite

The dogs and I went out in search of wild birds yesterday – we’re all a little stiff this morning. Dinah met up with Murphy (he of the law) in the woods Wednesday afternoon and cut one of her pads – nice timing, what with the day out already planned for Thursday. Luckily, it wasn’t a bad cut (the ones I hate are the slices that cameltoe what should be a single digit); just a shallow divot out of the edge of the pad. Off we went – she ran fine.

Dinah models our new e-collar. It’s a Dogtra 2500 – I’m very happy with it.

Lunchtime still life. (Chas – I still pack an axe along – old habits die hard.)
