What a classic photo eh in its framing and colouring, straight off the chocolate box. Bit of a shaky choccy box, but we have the gist. It was a shaky chocolate box cover. 🙂
Venise, he is very solidly built ,he’s no Foxy, he walks at least one K every day, runs after lizards in the backyard, also he is a rough-coated JR and the coat seems to thicken in the winter here in Southern Highlands, and of course this makes him LOOK heavier…will put another picture after he has been to his favourite Dog Salon for a coat clipping…
Can’t get enough of Milo! He is doing what he is meant to do. After today’s depressing news re the polls for the election – it was a joy to see Milo on Possum Watch.
Milo turned eight few weeks ago, he is very active, we go for long walks, but he is solidly built and weighs eight kilos; the best dog for us so far and we have had many…
One morning, from the kitchen window I saw my Chihuahua sitting outside in exactly the same position as Milo in the photo, looking at something without moving a hair for an *hour* and some-minutes. When I called her name all she did was to roll her eyes towards me for a fleeting second and back again watching the same point attentively. I went outside and looked up, there, I saw on the pergola, a huge rat sitting motionless as well.
🙂
I had a similar experience a few years ago. The rat was one of the prettiest I have seen. Sort of light brown and more upright. The last time I saw one like that was 30 years ago.
One night about two months ago the possums caught me unawares. The following morning I discovered I especially shaped-by moi- privit bush, I jade plant, and 7 fuchsia plants stripped. Just like someone had mown their way through young sweetcorn. (Soaked in butter.)
Now I have covered them all with netting. I couldn’t bring myself to hate these furry beasties not ever. The thing is I was expecting them to raid the rose bushes and had already netted them. Ha!
Yes, possums will eat anything with leaves and when in season will also mate with anything that moves. Milo had a nasty wound on his back which I think he must have got fighting off a randy rutting male possum. Poor Milo! The horror, the horror.
Helvi bought me a very nice jumper made of possum fleece and lamb’s wool. I told Milo, that’s what happens to possums behaving inappropriately.! He approved.

Sweetie pie, Milo, sitting there in the cool of the night, still as a thought….
Thank you for keeping my Lettuces safe.

Silently watching not to give away his presence – very clever.
