My perch

You see, this is one of my favorite spots for watching the world go by.

I sit up on the back of the leather sofa (which scrunches down nicely for me) and get to look out the window.

Look, I'll show you what I mean.


See, that way I get to be the first to see the deer in the back yard, and give a soft growl whenever I see them.

Don't believe me? Here's one shot from their recent visits. They bring all their relatives too ;-)


And they just love to eat from the bird feeders -- look at this one smiling right back at me.


They're worse than the squirrels I tell ya!

Snow blower

No, no, no -- not *that* kind of snow blower.

Ya see, I was out for a walk today, and found the delectable scent of deer.

So off the nice clear paths I go, into the woods. And every so often, I'd stick my nose right where the deer hooves had been.


As you can see, it makes me a little snowy.


And then eventually I have to sneeze. Which makes me a ....

... snow blower! Ha ha ha!

Supper sniffer

It's hard for Alpha to photograph the world of smells. But check this out.

Here I am running through some paths, when all of a sudden, I get a strong wiff of something really neat. Maybe you can see the tracks leading off the side of the path. Do you know what I smell?


Well, here it is. We had deer visiting the previous day. They were munching on our apple tree leaves, since everything else is snow covered.

Man, there is a whole 'nother world out there that you humans never see -- the world of smells. Thankfully, I've got a supper sniffer.
