This is Cassie on guard duty, she has taken to sitting here for several hours a day. So what is she guarding, the answer is the tree or more accurately the Walnuts. It is actually a two part exercise, part one is to try and deter the squirrels, of course squirrels being squirrels they work 30 feet up and take no notice of her. The second part of her duties come when a nut falls, that is rapidly collected, taken into the living room and broken open, the nut is eaten and the fragments of shell left all over the floor, (not good if you step on them in bare feet). What she doesn't realise is that the season hasn't really started yet, in a week or two there will be more walnuts on the floor than she can imagine, it will be fun to see how she manages and more importantly if she lets me eat any!

If only dogs could climb trees!

Whatever do they do to her digestion?

Nothing they seem fine, they eat anything, fruit, veg, delivery men.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the early morning chuckle over here on this side of the pond. We have two dogs who do similar things and it is always fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteI'll guess they are all eaten now and she can come off duty.
ReplyDeleteHow are you, Gary. Hope all is well.
I've now used all the space Blogger allocates for photos on Pictures Just Pictures so I've moved to a new blog and am continuing there.

I've given it a new look but, apart from that, it's the same - a photo every day.

I expect Cassie's fine but I thought of her when I read this post at Muddy Boots Dreams.
