There are lots of rabbits around also. Slow and steady wins the race?? I don't know of too many animals that would want to mess with this snapper! The rabbits, on the other hand, are quite popular with the coyotes..
2. I've been working on my walking sticks and sometimes one of them speaks out to me as to who should receive it. Back in March, my brother, Carl, was one of the winners in a quiz I ran on this blog, and the prize was one of my walking sticks. The stick that I thought would fit him best has some nice "diamonds" on it:
But, alas, there is a problem at the top of the stick.
It has begun to split. My question for Carl, who has experience working with wood, is can this be fixed? Or do I have to cut that section off?.
3. I've always thought that one of the best toys for kids is a big empty cardboard box. A good box can keep them busy for hours and doesn't cost anything. Now I know a similar toy for hyper-active dogs, like Emma. My friend, Diana, suggested giving Emma an empty water bottle. I've done that a few times, and by golly it works! It crunches when they bite it, is light enough to throw around , and keeps them burning off some of that excess energy.
Not the greatest pictures, but Emma was moving too fast for the camera to keep up!

The sun actually came out late this afternoon! Hope it sticks around for awhile.

Judy,
ReplyDeleteBe careful with Emma's new toy (water bottles). At least my dogs aren't smart enough to figure out that sometimes a water bottle belongs to a person! Many liquid messes have occurred because they did not understand the difference between a bottle in use and an empty bottle. For that reason, I sometimes give Scruffy an empty 1/2gal plastic milk carton--those are rarely left around for dogs to explore. FYI
Do not really know what to do. Maybe just tie it off with something, or deliver it and I will try something. I have not worked with raw wood that way.
ReplyDeleteMrs J, Emma generally isn't around people with water bottles, so I think we're safe there. I'll keep it in mind, though.
ReplyDeleteCarl, if you are coming to Daniel's wedding, I'll bring the stick along.
Will not be able to make it to the wedding.
ReplyDeleteI would see if I could find some leather cord and wrap the top of that stick with it. That would look very nice with the wood.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. That sounds like a winner.
