This time of year I spend a lot of time hanging around the family farm. While mom does chores and rides ponies I hang out with my gal pals, Cricket and Spider.
Lately though our time together seems to get interrupted by the barn swallows that have made their home in the barn.
Swooping, diving, and yelling at us – those birds are relentless in making sure we know that our presence near their nests are unwelcome. Honestly, I can’t say I blame them – Spider, Cricket, and I are fierce hunters – and I may have inadvertently purposely helped Spider take down a few birds out of the air. In my defense, they do like to scream at us a lot!
I’ll be looking over my shoulder from now on when I’m on the farm. Does your dog like to chase birds too?
