Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Oh... good morning

Been in the deer blind since sunup...just came in.

See anything? I’ve probably told you all this before, but it still amuses me - when I go deer hunting, I have a friend who always asks if I caught one.

Saw one early; not where I could shoot it.

We can probably go 2 more weeks before using any heat.

Good Evening, Pond!
Just paddling through before I head for bed. Busy day today. DH finally was able to get in the field today! (We're only a month or so behind. I don't know why he was gettig so antsy...) My break is almost over already. I've enjoyed being home and doing things on my own schedule the past few days.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hey, Pond Pals!
I am looking for advice. I am going to get a couple of young (roughly 4-6 months old) cats to be outside vermin control. (We haven't had outside cats for a few years, and the mice are totally out of control!) I plan on keeping them in my spare chicken coop/shed with attached run (2x4" welded wire) for a couple of days with access to plenty of food and water so they will hopefully come to think of this as a good place to live. (I will eventually just feed them once a day to encourage hunting.) My biggest concern is my dog. Ruger tends to kill anything he doesn't think belongs here, including one stray cat that I know of. (He also wandered over to my mom's one day and killed one of her barn cats.) I'm not sure how to get him used to the new cats. They're semi feral, so handling them is not going to happen for a while. Just not quite sure how to get him to know that they belong here and he's not to bother them. He and my house cat are the best of friends, so I know he can get along with them if he chooses to. I don't have a shock collar, nor do I ever intend to use one. I just hope that with correction if he shows too much interest, he'll figure it out.

I say it like that all the time, but doubt anybody ever gets it.
