Staying Busy

 Spud is staying busy in his retirement.  Yesterday when I looked out the back door.  I saw this field rat he had left for me.  He goes swimming in the pond and Galla Lake several times a day and stays on the move almost all day and much of the night.  I hear him treed everyday back at a big wild Cherry tree at the edge of Galla Meadow.  July 22, he will be 11 and I say..."Spud, do whatever you want to".  He has earned his days to roam free.

Spud

 Spud will be 11 years old July 22.  I turned him out of the pen.  He is a free man.  He can do what he wishes.  Everyday he goes swimming and trees squirrels near Galla Meadow.

 Spud is a great Mountain Feist--no better Feist ever born--in my opinion.

 His eyes, nose and ears still work like a young dog's.

 He still will get out front of the four wheeler and zoom down the path.

Cora Enjoys the Fireworks

 Most dogs hate July 4th.  The noise hurts their ears, but Cora watches it just like a human.  She never seems to be bothered by the booms.
