Otters and Other Stuff

I am supposed to reveal my new DIY website today.  Not happening.  I have to face reality–it could be awhile. I got travels coming up.  Things to do. People to see. 

The new website might have to wait until after I get back.

But here’s an otter!

OtterHe was just hanging out on the kayak dock, soaking up the rays.  I’m a bit wary of the otters that stop by.  They are sometimes very angry.  And fast.  I usually make sure that there’s something high that I can jump on in case one decides to take me out.

But this guy just looked tired.  He barely raised his head to acknowledge my presence.

He didn’t even care that Maggie was checking him out.  But otters are definitely not afraid of dogs.  I’ve even heard them bark back at the neighborhood pooches.  “The water’s good, come in for a swim”!

Maggie and otterMaggie doesn’t go out much anymore.  She’s 15.  She likes to nap.  But she wanted to chase the otter.

Maggie
Let’s wake up the otter!

Oh Maggie, he’s tired.

I thought he wasn’t feeling well but neighbor Sue said she had been watching him earlier. He had been barking at her dog and catching crabs.  He was just fine.  Just enjoying an after dinner nap. 

Come back anytime for a siesta! I’ll have my camera ready!

Country Feed and Supply

I was out and about taking important photographs and Terry and I stopped at the Country Feed and Supply Store to get sunflower seed to keep the birds in the hood singing. 

Since I had my camera…..

Here’s a few snaps I took at the shop,

Show Girls
These Chickens are called Show Girls. Didn’t really like the spotlight! Or the camera! Don’t know how successful they’ll be as showgirls.

This cat likes to say hi to me when we stop in. We’re buds.

There weren’t as many peeps as usual and no ducklings but the nice woman at the counter said, “go out back and see the rabbits.  They’re almost big enough to butcher.”

WHAT!

BUNNY
You are a big bunny, but I will not eat you. Unless there is a zombie apocalypse. Then yes, you might be dinner.

Please, I know you can save me!

And you are totally safe, even with zombie’s I could never eat anything with pink eyes.

As we left the store we caught a glimpse of the house behind the store.  Totally amazing statues in the yard.  I was so awestruck, I couldn’t even take pictures. 

I must find out more.  The Country Supply and Feed is on Grover Cleveland.  If anyone knows about the house or who created those creatures, let me know!
