dogs – Five Acres with a View

Convalescing

I am currently boarding a friend’s Boston Terrier while she is on the trip of a lifetime. Here is a photo of two Boston Terriers keeping me company while I recover from getting some vaccinations.

Red River Hog

I saw this Red River Hog at Cheyenne Mountain Zoon. Here is what one looks like as a baby.

This fellow was in a paddock by himself (intact male) looking wistful at the other giraffes being fed by the visitors. So I bought him a bunch of lettuce and fed him the whole thing. (Cheyenne Mountain Zoo sells food for the animals as part of their fundraising. Feeding giraffes by hand is very cool. Their tongues are black.) (edited)

Bandit

Reconstructing the accident scene

I left Bandit home alone for about four hours today. Apparently, at some point, he jumped to the top of the dining room table, disrupting the table cloth, then jumped down to the tray table a few feet away. We may have to rethink the tray table as an end table.

Fortunately, Bandit did not seem to harm himself when the table flipped on him dumping him on the floor.
