Enjoying the Weather
Posted by Kate on Wednesday, April 18, 2007I just finished digging two more tree holes. So tiring! Of course getting up at 3:45am doesn't help with the energy thing. I brought Zoe out with me and hooked her up to her super long leash. Is it wrong that I have that leash attached to the bird feeder?
She was very good. Mostly because she was staying perfectly still to hide from the birds. At one point the bird feeder was full of birds and one landed in the grass about 3 feet from Zoe. I was so scared that she was going to get it. I clapped my hands, but they both ignored me. Luckily Zoe didn't strike and the bird flew away unharmed. I am so torn. I want to let Zoe hunt, but I desperately don't want her to actually catch anything. I love the birds. I think of them as my super low maintenance pets. Even easier than taking care of fish.
Luckily Zoe is not as stealthy as she thinks she is, partly because of the huge red leash she is dragging around. I didn't count on the birds being so oblivious though. The one that landed in the grass wasn't even eating off the ground, he was just waiting for a turn at the feeder. Crazy.
