Thought she had a ball at first but a closer look tells a different story. Although I'm not crazy about them and their digging in the horse pasture and into the bank that lines my pit, I'm aware Gopher Tortoise are protected. I allowed her to investigate and since she seemed to be treating the creature gently I grabbed my camera for a few morning shots of nature at it's finest. As you can see at one point Majestic appears prepared to settle in for a nap with it.
Majestic's new found friend. Thought she had a ball at first but a closer look tells a different story.

She is so sweet and tender, even when investigating a new critter!

Not always... I think she's in mommy mode. :-) Apparently doesn't find this turtle threatening. She's as bad as Serious when it comes to critters running through her property. Doesn't like the big birds either. I like them but know to keep a close eye on the pups when they're around. I think Jess considers the big ones (hawks,buzzards etc) a threat as well. Smart girl!

So sweet! We have a little one in the backyard right now. Will got to meet Mako yesterday and I am so jealous!

I heard... I haven't seen Mako since he was a wee pup although I've tried to find some time for a visit with he and mom Jennifer. It hasn't happened yet. I hear he's tall!

Yes, Will said he is very tall. I saw the photo of him with his Christmas scarf on your blog. It made my heart melt. The female doberman my friend had was very tall, we always had to be very careful of food on the kitchen counters because she didn't have to stand to reach them. Leave a Reply. |
