Our Zoo (Part II)

Continuing with the Zoo slideshow, here are the craziest animals at our house. This was, of course, on Easter Sunday. The girls thought that it only made sense to Easter egg hunt in their bathing suits! After Bailey got hers on, she said, "Are we going to Nancy Snow's house to swim?" It was so cute! Of course, when it came to picture taking time, her Daddy's genes prevailed!



This is our dog, Haus. He is 1/2 Lab, 1/4 German Sheppard, and 1/4 Airdale terrior. He is about 6 years old. He is such a cutie, but, quiet naughty. He hates the rain and/or thunderstorms. He digs his way out of his yard, goes through the hole in the back fence, around through the back field, and onto our front porch everytime! Jeff taught him to sit, lay down, and roll over for treats. Most of the time, when you tell him to sit, he goes ahead and lays down/rolls over. Then he pops up, ready for his treat. Ashah taught him how to shake. She is working on teaching him how to jump over obstacles. It is rather amusing because he is soooo smart that he just runs around the obstacle! (Who wants to jump, anyway? It is too hard on the knees.)



This is my favorite picture of Little Boy. Some of you have seen it before. He likes fresh water and waits for me to fill up this bird bath and then stands on his tippy-toes to take a drink.



This is the surprise that I was telling Cassie, Jorin, and Gin about Sunday at Bible Class. He (or she) was in my potting soil bin in the greenhouse. Ashah caught him and we brought him into Jeff to hold for the picture. (I was too scared to hold him! I was afraid that he would jump on my shirt or something; that would surely send me to the hospital from a heart attack!) After doing some research, I decided that it is a Meditterranean Gecko. We were very careful with it and put it back where we found it. I went into the Greenhouse to check on it and it was still there, but it's tail had fallen off! So, we feed the tail to the chickens. They loved it.


These are our Honeybees. They took up residence in an upside-down 5 gallon bucket 4 years ago. They are great helpers in the garden, so we do everything we can to keep them happy. They have stung Jeff twice, but never anyone else. When we were laying the mulch for the new veggie garden area, they did keep buzzing around my head, ready to sting. I don't think that they liked the smell of the mulch. It didn't help that we had let Haus out of his pen and he sat in front of the beehive trying to catch/eat the bees!


Off-topic of the Zoo, I am seriously considering boycotting Rick's blog until he posts on mine! Put the word out.

Hmmmm, what will I blog about next..................................
