Charlie

We have once again taken the plunge and fell victim to the cute and cuddly puppy that is now called Charlie. You may recall from a previous blog entry that I had talked about Nitro being the newest member of the family... He has since vanished into thin air. We have no idea where he went or what happened to him, but since we just couldn't resist the chance to have a wonderful pup in our family for very long... We have now adopted this fine specimen of the canine family. He is a lab / rotty mix, and has a simply excellent kind nature. At almost 3 months old, so far he has been a great addition to the family... of course there is that quite annoying thing he does at 6am every single morning, even on the days you might want to sleep in.. but I think for the most part he is going to be a great dog. So does Amy, who by the way chose the name "Charlie b. Barkin" a name that fits him to a tee. I told her that he kinda reminds me of Chris Farly in the movie "Beverly Hills Ninja". Without further adieu, a few pics to oooh and aaahhh over.

Our Latest Addition... Nitro

Without further delay, here is the latest member to the family. My Son's Pup... Nitro!

Animal Encounters

It's a slow week, so I figured I would take this free time to post a few pics.




First one up, is the snake we found curled up in the 4 wheeler one day when we came outside to go for a nice ride. Such a purty little white oak snake.









This is not the same snake, this one we found climbing up on top of the muffer under the car. Just like the one in the 4 wheeler, a harmless white oak snake.











Here is a shot we caught of the bear getting into the garbage. This actually used to happen quite often, this was just the first time it happen during the daytime. Haven't seen much of the bears lately though.








And finally we have our most intelligent dog Zoey. Gotta love that nerotic ankle bitter as the wife likes to call her. lol

Slithering Encounter

This is one of the reasons I love this place. This is definitely not the first encounter, just the first one since I started posting to this blog. I have pics of white oak snakes resting intertwined in our 4 wheelers, as well as one that wanted to nap under the car on the muffler. Eventually, I'll probably post the Bear pic's that we have as well. But figured this would be a good start.



And yes, it was ready to strike. In fact right after snapping the picture it struck at our dog.

If you are curious, the snake was unharmed. I brought the dog inside and escorted the snake back into the wooded area of the property. Against the wife's wishes.. lol

Snakes are just so damn cool.

Cat's in the Cradle?

The other night as we were preparing for bed time... We walked into our bedrooms to find our wonderful kitty cat lying comfortably...

Comfortable there Cozmo?
