im, the dogs are lovely, they look like they're having fun and looking forward to having more fun soon.

Yeah, it's pretty much dog heaven down there. They love it.

Goose poo everywhere but I still think they're pretty. They have conventions on the river behind my place sometimes, and boy do they get loud at happy hour. They sound like we did at FA conferences.

Fucking starlings and house sparrows, and a squirrel

HATE Grackles! My squirrels don't visit anymore. However, I was just out back enjoying my newly stained deck (lotta work) with Daniel. For the first time some birds were on the feeders while we were out there. We were about 10" from them. Very cool.

Lots of wildlife here - helping itself to my new garden!! We have several rabbits, one an adult plus several teens. Somehow neither the turkey vultures nor our pair of red foxes have taken them out yet, as they did in other years. The little furballs (rabbits, not foxes) have eaten ALL my fernleaf dill and almost all the cilantro. Parsley went but was clearly a third choice. Up against it here, shopping for fox urine/coyote urine granules, whatever. I sprayed and shook blood/egg solids all over tonight but have my doubts.

Anyone know of a foolproof rabbit deterrent? I think I need to have words with our foxes.

Yosemite Sam?

Slow roasted rabbit infused with parsley, dill and cilantro surrounded by colorful fresh baby potatoes & carrots... Add a nice La Griveliere Cotes du Rhone Tete de Cuvee 2010 (bursting at the seams with barnyard manure and leather, perfectly smooth with modest fruit and a finish of leather - old world style for sure.)
Oh my ... I'm on m way!

Yeah, no. I ain't drinking nothing that takes that long to say.

Google translates that as The Griveliere Cotes du Rhone Tete de Cuvee, btw. Hell, even I knew that much...

Remember, as summer looms beware of ticks and Buffalo.

Do Not Approach Buffalo

... but, but, but... what if you live there?!

Ticks, buffalo, and now flea-bearing squirrels.

Plague in Idaho squirrels prompts health warning

Quote:

Boise, Idaho • Ground squirrels south of Boise have tested positive for plague, and humans and pets should avoid the area, Idaho health officials say.

The bacterial disease can be spread by the bites of fleas or by direct contact with infected animals, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare said in a statement Friday.

"We would probably advise people not to go out in that area," said Tom Shanahan, spokesman for the agency. "If you go out there, you need to take precautions."

Officials said that includes insect repellent and staying away from dead animals. Pets should be protected with flea-repellent products and not be allowed to roam free, which increases the chances of a pet rolling on a dead ground squirrel or picking it up.

Mike Keckler of Idaho Fish and Game said the agency investigated earlier this week after receiving reports of dead ground squirrels and found 24 die-off sites. Seven dead squirrels were sent overnight to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, he said, and researchers confirmed on Friday morning to Idaho officials that plague caused the deaths.
