A very big Rabbit!

We were out walking with Wilson at the weekend and we came across this:

P1210519A VERY big rabbit that didn’t run!!

Wilson who normally Loves chasing rabbits, squirrels and pheasants took a bit of time over this one, and eventually he ran towards him, but only as far as the edge of the puddle that separated them!  Maybe having spent the afternoon running in and out of the ice cold sea he didn’t feel like getting his toes wet?

California Quail

When we first saw these birds in Australia we thought they had got leaves caught in their heads like Wilson does when he roots around in bushes

Californian QuailIt was only when we saw lots of them that we realised that their fabulous headgear was there by design!

This is my strange and wonderful ‘pet’ for this week’s Weekly Pet Challenge 🙂

Myrtle and a Strawberry

I’m running a bit late with my challenges this week, I’ve been busy, and so has Myrtle!  She even spent a few days in the garden, although we had to take her in again as it has been colder and wetter these last few days

As a treat I gave her a strawberry!

Myrtle and a StrawberrySorry I’m so late with this week’s challenge Michelle
