This is her daily bathing routine in Sport’s water bowl.

Keeping a close eye on Sport.  She’s not scared of him, she’s just waiting to attack if he gets too close!

Both feet in the water bowl, this really pisses him off.

This deer just wasn’t in the mood to have her picture taken!

Until then. . .

I have put 6 horse photos on Swartzshots so far!

If you want to see them Click HERE!

This is one of them:

On Sunday We (I) were (was) a little sore so we didn’t do a whole lot.   Although, we did convince Cara to let us photograph her in our makeshift home studio. We got a lot of great shots, but our crazy dog, Sport, insisted on being in most of them.  I guess he wanted his photograph taken too.  :-)

Sport, our strange dog, took Sassy (the cat) in, as if she were his baby, when she showed up at our house.

He carried her around like a puppy,  allowed her to paw him as if she were nursing, and to curl up next to him and sleep in his bed.

This is a photo of them cuddling, that I took with my cellphone in January:

Well. . .

Now Sassy has taken in a baby of her own.

Yep, that’s a mouse. . .

And he and Sassy have  bonded.

When Sassy showed up at our house this summer, and we decided to keep her, everyone kept telling us that Calico cats were good “mousers.”

Good “mouser” . . .

Yeah, she’s a really good “mouser.”

So this is what happened:

Sassy wanted to sleep in the bathroom on Wednesday night,

after wanting to be in the bathroom all day on Wednesday,

even though I was home all day and she could have stayed out.

(We keep in her in the bathroom when we aren’t home- that’s where her litter box  and bed are.)

So anyway, we woke up Thursday morning and she was making a big racket in the bathroom,

like she often does in the middle of the night. . .

But, this time when we went in,

she was playing with her little friend.

After getting over the initial shock, and the realization that Sassy was not trying to hurt the mouse AT ALL;

we were running late, so we left them in the bathroom and went to work.

When we got home 14 HOURS LATER, they were STILL PLAYING. . .

So, now, the next day, the Cat and Mouse are still in the bathroom together, the mouse is still unharmed,

and since we are snowed in, we have been sneaking in there and watching them play for entertainment.

There is NOTHING in this world more BIZARRE to watch, than a CAT & MOUSE PLAYING NICE. . .

IN YOUR BATHROOM

A Cardinal eying our bird-feeders during the snow.

She especially loves jumping into the warm dryer:

I took this photo of this little bird, which I think is a goldfinch,  at my Grandparents house on Sunday. 

When I randomly chose to post this photo, I realized, that it was 5 years today that I was moving into my first house.  The house that I lovingly refer to as “Goldfinch.”  

5 years and about a million life lessons later, ”Goldfinch” is looking better than ever and rented to people who keep it that way!  Wow, that house has been through a lot in 5 years! If only walls could talk. . .
