But stalking small chickens is both rewarding and tasty.

Really, Scooter! Leave the low-hanging fruit to those cat creatures. A Dog of Distinction such as yourself should be after nothing less than Tuffy the Squirrel.

Scooter’s found that stalking small birds in high shrubs and trees just didn’t seem to work that well, so he’s changed tactics.

Just because a fellow’s an acknowledged top-tier predator….

who can almost but not quite cook his own gourmet meals….

when, on his way home to dinner,

he walks by an open tray of free, delicious little appetisers,

you really can’t blame him for grabbing a snack, can you?

Number Six! Good to see that you’re here…

I’m so happy when old friends appear!

I’m glad you had time

to drop in with a rhyme…

Now sit down; let me buy you a beer!

It’s not stalking. It’s wildlife research.

Scooter is such a talent. He is a self-taught pointer. However, he’ll soon get tired and become a setter when he sets is butt on the ground.

Get your face out of my living room!

…stupid nosey dogs…

Parade and BBQ today.

Happy, happy, happy 4th everyone!
