Photos - Birds, Dog, Ball

[den]

One of my Peewees. Females have a white area around the beak. She is sleek and well fed, and doing well in the wild. She still hangs around for meal worms.



Another of my peewees. He seems to have paired up with the female. He isn't doing so well in the wild and hassles me for extra food. Walking out the back door often results in me wearing a peewee hat.



And finally, a dog with a ball.

That dog is in SO much trouble.

Is that someone's cricket ball? :)

it's Polly's fluro squeezie ball made of solid rubber.

That's a great picture of Polly. She looks like she's smiling.

She loves her ball.

we're still debating on getting Duke a staffy ball for his first birthday.

he'd love it, we have no doubts, but $70+ is a bit rich for a ball for a dog. Even one with a guarantee that he can't destroy it.

the trouble is that anything else we give him lasts about 5 minutes before it's shredded (as I see Polly has done to the red ball in the picture)

oh, and he still doesn't fetch. so after you throw the ball for him, you then spend 5 minutes chasing him around the yard trying to get it back off him. For him, that's all part of the game.

nice peewees. would you like the crows that have been taunting Duke from the fences for the last few weeks? I'm not sure why - none of them stand a chance to pick up any of his bones from the yard. The last one we bought him weighed in at around 4kg. It looked like it came from a dinosaur ;-)

I have enough crows here. They torment Scruffy.

Polly learned very early that if she drops the ball it will get thrown again. The one that survived the longest was a squashy tennis ball. All the specieal Balls For Dogs lasted mere hours. Cheap squashy tennis ball lasted months. The one in the photo is solid squashy rubber and has lasted for 2 weeks.

a tennis ball lasts not more than about 5 minutes with Duke - he deliberately crunches them to break the internal rubber part to bits, and leave the furry green part intact, like a broken easter egg in its foil wrapper. ;-)

he's gone off the kong altogether, it has some fearsome teethmark in it, but it's still pretty much in one piece.
