Things is weird these days. Mama is making me walk on a leash all the time now. I don't like it. I can't run around and chase bouncy tails like I like too. And I can't sniff good sniffs. :::pout::: Mama says something about snakes biting me. We have seen three of them in just a week!!!

Mama says this one is a bull snake. We saw another one of these Monday. We also saw a skinny black one like this:

This isn't it though! This is just a picture of one. We just saw the back of it going into a bush. It was a little one, not like the first one.

I don't think I like snakes very much. They make me walk on a leash.

My Favorite Birdie!

This is a Black-throated Sparrow! We sees them all the time in the foothills. They is so cute!!

Sad News

We seed it yesterday. The forests are closed to peoples and doggies now. Mama said it was to keep the forest from catching on fire and burning up the trees and bunnies. It makes me sad cuz I like to walk in the trees and by the water.

The birdies seems to know that the peoples couldn't cross the line. The birdies were singing and flying around on the other side of the fence all happy. Mama was upset because the birdies

would stop and let her look at them through her binoculars.

Timothy inspired me's to start a blog on all the birdies I see on my walks. Mama and I sees lots of birdies and they is so beautiful. I hopes Timothy doesn't mind.

Mama and I live in the desert. So yous wouldn't think there is very much wildlife here. But there is! We hikes up in the foothills of the Sandias. This is a pic Mama tooks during our last snow storm. You's can see what the area looks like. There is alot of cacti, scrub oak, junipers and sages








Plus there is huge granite boulders every where! They is fun to climb!
