Babbling With Beau

Greetings Folks, it's me Beau... or as I am affectionately called Beauie, Beausie or whatever variation you would like. I have been elected the official Blog Writer for this blog, so from now on, the blogs will come from me and will include guest writers and other members of my pack. It has been awhile since I last wrote so we have a lot of catching up to do. It has been relatively quiet here, except for the radical windstorms we get somewhat frequently, and the occasional power outage, yet things are going smoothly. Raven is quite busy with all of us, and in addition for the next two weeks we have as guest visitor, Hershey. Hershey is an eight year old Red Australian shepherd, whose mom is a award winning artist and former co-worker of Raven's when they use to work together at alaska raptor center. She now resides on Orcas with her Husband, and in addition to being an acclaimed wildlife artist, she also teaches the birding classes at the library. Right now, she and her hubby are leading a two week birding trip in costa rica, so Hershey is with us. Hershey is a bundle of fun, and we have become good hiking buddies. He has loads of energy, with his breeding background. today he was running at full speed in the backyard, while Big Max just sat and watched. He is a cool dude, and listens to commands extremely well. Max is exploring his surroundings in the backyard which he enjoys, and raven is trying to keep the poop cleaned up, so big Max doesn't look for afternoon snacks. Obviously his nose still works extremely well, despite his senior citizenship. as for me I am doing okay, I have had a bit of pain lately, as I have fallen a few times from my Mom's car, as well as missing a couple of jumps over a log on my walks with raven.... so I think I am a bit sore. as for the girls of the house, Millie and sox, well they are always up to no good. sox constantly chases Millie around, so Millie has taken to crawling under the sheets that now cover the couch and bury herself in there. Other than that we are all well. we have had some fairly mild weather this week, and not as much rain as we had been having, both myself and raven are happy about this, and I don't get so muddy on my walks. Well that is really about all for now. Just keeping busy sleeping, eating and going for cool walks with awesome views. I hope you are all doing well and You will hear from me again real soon. Love, Beau, Max, Millie and sox (and Hershey)

A little extra From Guest Writer Hershey to his Mom: Hey I am having a blast. Beau and I are really good hiking buddies and Raven did a Movie of me today chasing a stick in the backyard. I have been a really good boy listening really well and being a love bug. I hope you guys are having fun looking at all those cool birds down there. I miss you and will see you soon. Love, Hershey
