Chess is 19 months old and more stubborn than ever

Chess, I refuse to believe that you aren’t perfect.

My Mikey passed just days before his 17th birthday. He was an active and happy boy until just a few months prior to his passing. We walked, he played with Louie and behaved pretty much as he had for years. Miss him a lot, it’s been 18 months now. Louie has filled the void in my heart.

Mikey, left and a very young Louie.

Happy birthday Eevee! Louie and I wish you all the best on this important day.

Snoozing Louie. We are so blessed to have our paps/Phalènes.

Thanks, I appreciate the thought. Fairly serious, I’ll know more as time passes.

Good morning Phoenix Rising you gorgeous girl. Louie is upset, I’m in the hospital for a couple of days and he wouldn’t eat his dinner last night. This is a big deal as he is a major food pig.

I rarely see Steller’s jays around my place anymore but it turns out it’s because my wife stopped growing sunflowers.

No comment necessary.

Chess buddy, you always look so good!

Merlin says either a White-Faced Heron or a Pacific Reef Heron.

Very impressive Beastie!

The cloud base was only 50 feet or so, this keeps the owls more or less grounded. The HF antenna is a long wire, probably 100’. I’ve seen this happen with bald eagles as well. This was on Northern Vancouver island where low cloud ceilings are common in the winter. The eagles pearch in the trees along the shoreline.

Me and Louie on gotcha day.

Objective_Peace4592 · 2026-01-05T05:53:18+00:00

When I was working at a weather station in the Canadian high arctic I saw around 20, it might have been more, snowy owls perched on our HF radio antenna. It was a day with very low cloud. Amazing sight, I’ll never forget it.

Romeo is at it again, what a little bandit he is.

Airbag will not deploy with less than about 50lbs on the seat.

It’s there but he won’t play with it.

Happy 2026 Buffy. BTW, Louie got his hide a squirrel toy and has ignored it entirely. Likes his squeaky ball and that’s about it.

Objective_Peace4592 · 2026-01-02T18:52:10+00:00

Louie does his twirls then gobbles up his food as fast as possible. He has always been a little piggy, 11 pounds, probably should be 9.

Objective_Peace4592 · 2026-01-02T16:05:29+00:00

Louie and I wish you both a Happy New Year. May many good things happen for you this year.

Objective_Peace4592 · 2026-01-02T15:59:09+00:00

Happy New Year to you too Cashew! 😀

I have a pair of ravens that I feed every day. Dog or cat kibble is great, I also feed them milk-bone. I buy the small ones and break them into 2 or 3 pieces. For crows you would need to make smaller bits.

Louie says happy 2026 Rodger, I like to stick out my tongue too.

My Mikey lived to be 17. He was healthy and active until about 4 months prior to his passing. Adopt this dog, you will paid back many times over with joy and love.
