Clever dog

I was going through some old photos of my dogs the other day, and I came across one of my Numa, a lovely but rather dim German Shepherd, she was rather in the shadow of my older GSD Kerry, who was a s sharp as a a tack.
One day though Numa got one up, I had given them both a bone which they wer happily eating in the garden, Numa finished hers, and knew she couldn't possibly challenge Kerry,so she had a dog type light bulb moment, she knew that Kerry had a strong guarding instinct, so Numa ran up to the gate barking her head off sounding very fierce, Kerry looked up, and you could almost see her thinking 'deal with it Nums, I'm busy' but no Numa kept on, it soon became too much for Kerry and she ran up to the gate, growling in her best fashion, of corse she couldn't see anything but she stayed there long enough just to make sure that anyone who was perhaps hiding would get the message, of course having left her bone gave Numa the opportunity to dive in, grab it and claim ownership, and dogs do respect ownership, I really think my old dim girl maybe did have a spark of guile in her that she used to her advantage, and she managed to get away with it several times.

Bugs and things

Do you think if I keep up this sort of blog I might get my name into the  National Geographic. ? Nerd

Love the bug

Thank you Wolfie and Robyn for your comments, to add to the interest in this piece, I watched David Attenboroughs 'Life' programme last night, and it was about the ways of bugs, ants beetles etc, and it was very interesting adding weight to the knowledge we are fast realizing that bugs have a very important and inter-acting role, On watching the migration of the Monarch butterflies, travelling 2000 miles to one 20 x 60 sq miles of woodland somewhere in the far east [can't recall where] they hang in suspension for two months on these tree branches and travel back, the ones who haven't been sacrificed to feed the birds. :-((, But the worry is that illegal logging is growing closer to the habitat, and as it's the only place in the world [that we know of] where the butterflies hibernate, once it's gone, it's lost forever. What an awful thought. 
and  to see the devotion of the bees in saving their hives after having it trashed by a bear, the ants who farm grass stalks to grow their own food fungus, it makes anything we do pall into significance, especially when you think that many great minds use them to make weapons of destruction, Oh yes we can learn from the bugs, they're all part of life's jigsaw, and we remove parts at our peril. I really do fear for the future of mankind if not this planet.
