Uschi's Ground Bees

We have nasty ground bees, that really STING !!
The stings hurt, for days and days,... trust me,...
I've "found" a few nests.

Typically, soon after I find a ground nest
so does one of our local wild animals. Most likely
skunks, who like to dig up the nests and eat the
bees, they are tough little mammals.

I recently found a nest,...
a few days later it was dug up.

Uschi then found the big hole,...

Oh boy,...

U goes right in the shallow big hole.

There were still some bees flying around so
I quickly grabbed U's leash and got him moving away.

He ran right back,...
and started back filling the hole.

"I'll protect you dad,... Bad bees"

Luckily, U didn't get stung and we got away safely.

That night our unknown bee eater went after the
nest again and really dug up a big area.
Another nest down.

Uschi Tries To Perch

Uschi was all excited,

running around,

When he saw "his" perch,...
(which is inside the kennel)

"Woooo Hoooo, my perch,..."

Uschi bounced off the deer fence enclosure,...

Yes, Uschi, that was embarrassing.

Wheat Grass

We had a pot of wheat grass left over from class,
and washed it off and brought it home to see if
the boys were interested. Uschi was first on the scene...

For me?

Ready to pounce...

Gotcha!

Tanji takes a sniff too...

Nope, not for me.

It's Vladi's turn...

Nose-lickin' good!

The boys lost interest pretty fast,
they have lots of grass in their kennel
and graze during their walks with us.
Oh well, it was worth a try!

Vladi's Perch

Vladi found a new place to sleep,

on some top shelf pillows in the "linen closet."

We all searched for a long time,
before we found him.

Hi Tanji.

How did you get up there ?

Now how are you going to get down ?

Brothers

Vladi likes his big brothers.

Watching Uschi,
(from a safe and "hidden" distance)

Tanj and Vladi play a lot together.

Hey Tanji,... What are we looking for?

He's MY Tanji !

Tanji was laying in the grass when

Uschi stopped by and gave him a sniff

and a lick.

This attracted Vladi.

Back Off !!

He's My Tanji.

I just wanted to say "HI" too.
