Periodic Puppy Pics

I mentioned the other day that we saw a deer in the meadow that used to be a donkey pasture. It was not alone and while it leaped through the meadow toward the woods, Callie chased its companion through the vineyard for a bit. Here she is right after giving up the chase.

That was fun! Can I have another one?

On Friday morning she saw and went after a rabbit among the vines. She can't catch any of these critters and she doesn't pursue them for very long. But it's good exercise for her.

She and Bertie were nose to nose again on Thursday. Callie is doing better; she knows she's not supposed to lunge at the cat, but I can tell she's trying really hard not to. Bertie just stands or sits in front of her and keeps his eyes on her. She actually gets her nose to his fur and sniffs. Sometimes, as one of you noted, I put the cat in my lap to show Callie that he's ok. I think she's starting to get the message.

Last night, at precisely 4:09 a.m., the car returned. Ken got up and looked. Indeed, it is using our neighbors' driveway to turn around. Ken speculates that it must be one of the young, newer neighbors three doors down going to work each morning. Their driveway is at a slight angle to the road, making it easier for them to back out, come up our way, then turn around to go back down the hill. Why they're using Bernard's yard to turn around rather than going to the end of the road (where it's wider) is anybody's guess. Probably they're lazy and think that another 150 meters is just too far to drive.
