MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Love, MAK

Thanks everyone and SEASONS GREETINGS to all of you!   

Now DC 2:09

So glad she finally showed herself.  I looked for her for over an hour and 1/2 and could not find her!  She is a sneaky one.  Dana looked for her too.

She's like that don'tcha know! 

   On day 6 in paradise I saw 2 coyotes in a field,a hawk on a telephone pole and a good time with Mike(my bro-in-law) and his daughter and family from Kendal,NY on his birthday!

   Very cute Donna and Ei!

[and there goes the Christmas pooh!]

and there goes the Christmas pooh!

  Great catch Donna! 

Um, that's not his pocket deery! devil       No but he's happy to see me!!!!

Hate those Coyotes!  See them as road-kill on the Suitland every so often - don't be surprised if you hear the unmistakable sound of double-barrels sounding off, MAK.  Be careful.

I HAVE heard some gunfire Janet! My sis just told me that the cowboys carry guns and shoot coyotes whenever they see them. They don't bother the adults but they do go after the calves sometimes. 

No doubt using some sort of ACME product.

 

 

[Yup, he did! When Sam N Bucca were kittens, they both climbed the tree their first year. Don't forget, Bucca was a big boy, even as a youngster. I was working and when Kara and Sean came home from school, the tree was toppled over onto the bird cages, (I imagine they freaked out) as did my kids. Hence, the nail in the wall after with rope tied around the top of tree to stabilize it. When he couldn't topple it anymore, he decided to un-decorate it, which became my tradition of only putting decorations 3/4 of the way down. It looked bad, which is why I only took pictures of it from the decorations up! This is the first year I was able to decorate the whole tree! (I miss my Bucca, especially at Christmas, he loved the tree)! Sam could care less about the tree. Bucca was always a permanent fixture under the tree.]

I don't need to look at this video I can see plenty on the screen!  Don't tell me Bucca climbed up to the top of your tree!!!

P.S. Bucca LOVED the red bows on the tree and did whatever it took to get at them! All the bows had teeth marks in them but I still used the same bows year after year, Bucca's signature tree.

  I CANNOT imagine that big boy on top of a xmas tree!

I can't believe I've been in paradise for 5 days already! Today was Coyote day here on the ranch. I saw the first one in a pasture near ranch headquarters and a second one in the back part of the property. Took a ride into Rogers and found out that the ranch is actually in the town of Pearidge but the mailing address is Bentonville. Redneck country pure and simple!  Any way, if you want to check out my pics of the day just click on the link below.

Thanks D! It was my first time seeing a coyote and I got to see 2 of them!
