Farm Cat and dog

[fishinchicks]

Here are a couple of photo inspired by yakfisher and his Big Cats in the Snow series. Mine are the farm variety.

And our dog. He's a little live wire, so it isn't easy getting a good photo of him.

Nice! Good weather out your way today.

We're paying for yesterday's good weather. High today of 2, with a current windchill of -26. I think the puppy will want to stay in the garage today.

In the garage? You don't let that little cutie in the house?

Hubby's rule. If the girls and I had our way, he would be in the house. Hubby is of the mentality that pets are for outside, not inside. We were able to change that a little bit when our lab was getting arthritis pretty bad. We have a heated garage, so it was better for her. We lost her right after Thanksgiving this year, which made the puppy sad. He'll scratch at the door and whine every once in awhile when he wants attention.

It was the same way on my Gparents dairy farm and all around that part of Wisconsin. Pretty standard in farm country, IMO.

BTW, chicks, do your dog and cat ever get in fights?

Glad I was out hunting yesterday the weather was great and there were a ton of birds. My hunting buddies wouldn't last in today's temps. Me I'm of Norwegian descent, I guess that means either I'm of hearty stock or just too dumb to know when to come in from the cold. Sorry to hear about your lab.

He/she is cute!!!! Fun pics. It IS cold. I grabbed the camera for a trip out to Camden this morning. Then discovered the change in the wind and temp. We opted for a no-camera walk in town. Maggie still put in her two miles plus, but after she got her boots on. Enjoy that puppy. She is a doll.

Pongo is pretty scared of that cat. However, the other farm kitties, who are about the same size as Pongo, are fair game.

Nice pictures.The puppy looks like he landed there in the snow,because you dont see his tracks leading up to where he is standing.

[fishinchicks]

Thanks!

There really weren't tracks close to him. He jumped into the area where I snapped the photo. He's kinda like the black and white dog from Loony Toons that acts pretty hyper. He just doesn't bark (fortunately).
