About to hit the Road Again.

Hay there everyone!!! We are leaving here on Wednesday (really, for sure this time!!) and I wanted to show you all what we have been doing here. Besides Laundry, boiling in the heat, chaffing in the wind, vacuuming the dust, etc. etc.

This first picture is the Entry way at Gary's house. Travis our son did this. Isn't I nice!!! I love it.















Now, let me warn everyone before you go on that some of these pictures are not for the faint hearted. They show an actual death. Pancho has been fed raw food since he was a little tyke and really takes it to the extreme now. He likes his raw FRESH. So be forewarned.

Ok, Pancho starts his day. (ok, sometimes this is his SECOND waking)















He rubs the sleep from his eyes as we have coffee.














Now it is time to jump on Mommy until she gets up (that is IF mommy is sleeping in) and then it is time to take her outside and listen for sounds. Very important this listening for sound stuff. Hence the need for big ears that go forward. That is so sound can bounce into them....the ears that is.















Once a good sound is established it is time to dig. Sound is very important as I said before.














We have established the first dig hole. The first dig hole is NOT, I repeat, NOT the last hole dug. See, first hole is the begining of where rat's and mice start in and go out of there little holes and tunnels.. One needs to follow them with lots of tunneling to get the the payload.
















Are you paying attention?? Notice how deep the hole can go. There are several holes and dig's going on here. What happened in the hole pile is that the little Kangaroo rats jump out of the small holes and hop/run like the wind. Pancho does not ever catch them. They are FAST. So he has learned to let them go if he is on to the big game. Today was the big game day.
















Ok, the faint hearted can leave now.



The end. Food. Fresh and warm. Notice how big this rat was. Pancho has kill to a science. One quick behind the head bite and it is done for the rat. This one was a big male. Pancho has to check that fact out. I was going to show the picture of him eating it also. Maybe the next posting. I want people to beg for that one!!!
















This is what I did this week. I am doing oil nows also besides watercolor. What do you all think?
For Gary I did a cowboy opening a gate. I will post that one later. So, that is it for now. I will post as we travel. Take care of each other you all!!
















The End
