Critters Visit the PugRanch


Here we are
 joining the ever cute and darling
Miss Rosy Sassypants
for the Flower Friday blog hop!
Unfortunately even though it is April,
spring is taking its time this year
and since we have no flowers to show you
we will show you some the critters 
that visit us here at the PugRanch



Mr Robin wondering why we have snow
 in the middle of March


He does look fat and healthy though

OMD!


Dad discovered a rock chuck


 peeking out from a pipe 
that is behind our metal shed



Here he is on another day
making sure the coast is clear


Before venturing out and going to the neighbors yard!



This is our resident pheasant searching for some food 
during one of our March snow storms



 The last few years he has spent the winter 
hanging out in the willow bushes 
that grow along the canal that runs through
 the lower part of the PugRanch


He is quite the colorful


and handsome fellow!


Can you see our kitty friend??


He is in the Big Yard hunting for mice


The mice really tore up our lawn this winter 
so we are happy for his help 
in getting rid of those pesky mouses

 We also get a pair of doves
 that come back every spring


I was very friendly and told this one 
Welcome Back!

We are having a few days of rain now
Hopefully that will get the grass green 
and spring springing up!!


We are the PugRanch Kids
Hazel & Mabel

  4. Poor Mr Robin. I hope he doesn't have to wait for spring too much longer! The woodchucks are out of hibernation here too and mom is NOT happy about it.

  5. No sign of spring our way either. We have some robins and a few doves, too, but still no green or flowers!

  9. That robin sure is a fat one:) Maybe HE is a SHE with a tummy full of eggs:) Lots of interesting critters there. We never heard of a rock chuck. And you say the mice tore up your grass??? Hmmm, maybe we should try convincing Mom that the mice did it here too:)

  13. You have quite a menagerie around your house! Ghostwriter says she hasn't seen a pheasant in many years. We enjoyed seeing your colorful one! We hope the kitty cat doesn't catch him.

  21. A rock chuck is a new critter to us and it is really cute! Does it tear up your yard? We'd welcome all of those creatures in the yard but only to chase them back out! BOL! BOL!
