No, this is not the jungle of Borneo or El Junque Rain Florest in Puerto Rico. Just part of our backyard............and dead bamboo must be cut out at some point. Steve and I spent a good part of the day cutting out dead plants. Steve had control of the chain saw......and those of you that know me well are probably thinking that was a good thing !! We now have a large pile of cut up bamboo for the trash men. I really hate trashing the bamboo, but I couldn't think of anything to use it for.
Steve has been working in the yard with the pups, and they respond fairly well to him while they are on leads. It will be interesting to see how well they do off leash. They love foraging in the "jungle" and they trample the smaller plants. Tripper is a hunter and thinks that all the squirrels are fair game. Unfortunately, the squirrels run under the bird cages and during the pursuit, the birds get scared. If they take off in the cages too quickly, they can fly into the sides of the cages and break their necks. Don't want that to happen. So the pups are in a learning process.............
We went to the beach for the first time over the weekend and I will be sooooooo glad when all those out of state license plates are gone !! It was hard to find a place to park and beach umbrellas blocked the view for a couple of blocks. On the positive side, the water was not as cold as I anticipated for walking in and Steve and I found about 40 sharks teeth. Good day at the beach.........................
