Real excitement this morning!
We were all in our crates this morning from eating our breakfast when Phoenix went ballistic barking which I have come to learn means "intruder alert" (even if it is 1/2 mile away). I mean the dog has a nose, and not like in Jimmy Durante nose; like in smells the slightest scent from beyond line of sight. Well, when Phoenix sounds off, Robert has to go investigate or there will be no peace. So, off goes Robert, I mean jeez, he hasn't even had time to finish his first cup of coffee (and it takes three to even get neurons thinking about firing). Lo and behold, a wild turkey hen has decided the dog yard is the place to browse for food;ummmm, big mistake! Robert un-crates Phoenix who emerges like an Exocet missile out of its launch tube and homes right in on the hen. Fortunately, turkeys have GREAT eyesight and upon seeing the speeding canine projectile approaching decides that an emergency lift-off is in order. Off to the safety of the tree line by the creek. You can be sure she'll think twice before she lands in the dog yard again! Sigh!, and I was soooo looking forward to deep fried turkey for dinner. Always an adventure here.
