One week to go!

This morning I found a squirrel sunbathing in my rocking chair on the patio. Of course by the time I had located my camera, the dog had caught on and chased the little fellow away. For a hunting breed he's remarkably dumb when it comes to locating animals... unless I want to take a picture of them, of course. I remember a couple of years ago on a hike, we stumbled upon a coyote dining on a woodchuck, and my brave dog hid behind me. It's a good thing I know he has my back. Anyway!

In ex...
