The little darlings may look peaceful here, but don't be fooled. We have great aerial battles that perhaps should be called something other than dogfights. Even going near the feeder to refill it is an invitation for attack. One went through my hair as I took down the feeder to refill!
Our other feeders are bringing in lots of birds too, but none so fun to watch as these little daredevils.
Buck and Cocoa pretty much ignore all the airborne activity in favor of rolling in the dirt. Now that they have their wireless fence and collars they get to roam freely within their 90 foot circle. It's truly great. They've started playing again, wrestling, jumping on one another, and carrying on big time. Sitting in the kennel, although it's good sized, seemed to leave them depressed and unhappy. These are big puppers, and they need space to roam.
Buck especially loves rolling in dirt. It would be the white dog, and it would be clay dirt that leaves him a lovely rust color. Cocoa mouths him all over during their wrestling matches, then he rolls in the dirt while he's wet, and this is the result. Planting this time of year is a waste, but I'll be very glad to have grass for them to play on.
