July 27th Hide and Seek

Good morning everyone! It is 51°F and the sun is shining! Can you believe it was only 48°F a couple days ago? Me neither. The temperature is getting to a solid 78°F-80°F midday these last two days, so that helps us forget the morning chills. Our human still has to dry us off from the morning dew every morning or we will shiver!

I have to say my favorite game is hide and seek. It is especially funny when my humans are calling and I pretend I can’t hear them! This can go badly if they realize I heard them all along. That’s what happened in this picture – I hid in the cattails while my human was walking by, then I played the guilt-dog by flattening my ears and looking sad.

Other creatures are playing hide and seek too around the property! Our other human found this robin’s nest with three eggs, took a picture, and forbade us all to walk near it again because the mama was getting upset. This morning we found an egg remnant not too far. Could they have hatched??

  

Our human also found an eastern newt in its “red eft” stage. Look at it playing hide and seek with a slug!

 Speaking of slugs, we find them by the dozen when raspberry hunting! Who would have thought they also enjoy my humans’ favorite berry?

Going on a raspberry scavenget hunt is my human’s favorite game these days. Look how many she found yesterday!

We are near a dry line now, and it seems we should enjoy dry weather for at least 24-48 hours more! We’ve been slacking at stacking wood (dogs can be punny too you know) so hopefully it will only rain when we are all done!

Enjoy your sunny weekend everyone, I’m going to go hide – is that an open car I see?! I love cars!

Love,

Mack
