Sorry...being obsessive. That 18th century organ has 8000 pipes. She's a monster. They are saying it "may" have survived.

Notre Dame Cathedral in France

Iconic Paris landmark. Close to 900 years old. An architectural marvel. Literally the heart & soul of Paris.

The lady next door was getting her lawn cut. Noticed Daisy pacing the fence. Got worried she was going for the mower. Locked them up just in case. That's all I need....her dive bombing the mower guys next door.

Let the girls out this morning & Daisy flew the length of the backyard & back. Shes a show-off! Wonder why she flies so much. Guessing she just likes too. I can tell it makes her happy. Shes just a happy bird.....

Daisy's a bad girl! Got home around noon. Before the storms start I thought I'd take them for a graze out front. Poor kid next door was trying to mow. She bombed him. From behind. Scared him to death. She hadn't been paying any attention to him. I dropped my guard. That or she timed it for when I wasn't paying attention. Bad bird.....

Waiting for our "severe" storms to roll in. Expecting a lot of rain with this round. Yet again. I'll end up with grumpy girls and a bored coonhound....again.

Currently the thunder is so loud its setting off car alarms. Its rocking & rolling here. On the 24th floor of our office building watching the lightning strikes.

Hitting the road Sunday to go show dogs for a week. I HATE leaving the girls so long. They have a great hen sitter....but she doesn't spend the time with them that I do. Or cater to their every whim. LOL! No lap time either. Oh well....they'll get over it. Poor babies! I actually miss them when I'm gone.

R2elk...have the coonhound entered in his first sanctioned hunt. Wish me luck. I expect him to qualify and not embarrass me! We'll see how it goes. He can be a wild card. Then off to show Aussies at our National Specialty. He will be the only coonhound in a sea of Aussies. If he opens his mouth, everyone at the show site will be looking at me. He obviously has a quite distinctive voice.

And I'm curious about Mr. Picky & the wild girls. Will there be baby Mr. Picky's running the countryside? Do you think the wild girls descend from that one hen who showed up for all those years? Is it possible they are following their moms wild ways?
