Fun on Friday



Look what some pup found in the yard last night!

Could that be a cousin to Tony the Turtle, Thunder's friend?


Here is a closer look after the Momster came and removed it:(


Uh, he doesn't seem to have much life in him:(


Mom thinks that the poor little guy must have been hit by one of the lawnmowers mowing our lawn yesterday.  Then "some" pup found him and had a lot of fun rolling all over him, picking him up in the mouth, then immediately tossing him down, not letting any other OP pup near the treasure to the point of chasing them away.

And as if the turtle wasn't enough wildlife for one family, look what was discovered today AND by a different pup!!!


 Now we are sure you are wondering which pup had the turtle and which one had the snake.  We are also sure that those of you who have been following us for a while have one particular pup in mind for both.  And our newer followers might have another one as a pawsibility.



Sure, go ahead, blame it all on me.  I know you want to, just because I am the youngest, the least mature, the one called the Resident Pest, a.k.a. Lightning.  I don't really know much about either turtles and snakes. After all, I am just a young lad. BUT if they are chewy, I am ready to give them a test taste.



For sure you are NOT entertaining thoughts that it could be me, the quiet, reserved, elder canine citizen of the Pack.    But as the Momster always says, you have to watch out for the "quiet" ones.  So I, Phantom, will leave you guessing for a bit.


Surely not ME!

Heh, heh, heh - don't you just love my coy smirk!  Now seriously, as the Princess of the Pack, do you honestly think that I, Ciara, would even dream of letting a turtle or snake touch my sweet lips???





OK, OK, OK - you longtime readers know my history with Tony the Turtle and Sammy the Snake.  I, Thunder, think that you have placed all your biscuits down as a bet on me being the culprit.


And now for the big reveals:

>>>>>>>

Yep, it was me - fooled ya, didn't I?  I had so much fun with this little turtle.  I rolled all over him and tried to pick  him up in my mouth, but the girly girl in me said no way.  I guarded my treasure and chased TD and Lightning away whenever they tried to come near to get a sniff.  Phantom just gave me the look that told me what he thought of my prize.

And the snake???





What snake???  I don't see a snake!!!  Uh, what IS a snake??? 



Don't worry, pals.  I rolled so much on this guy that there was no chance he would bite me.  As the little bipeds told Mom, he is covered in white fur:)  And yeppers, he is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.  The only problem is that Thunder Dunder forgot to show me how to flip him in the air like he can do.  So much for a young lad to learn.


WHAT???

Now be honest, did you really think it could have been ME?  

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. 


Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning

  3. We once pulled Mom down after seeing a turtle on our run. She had to hang onto a tree for dear life. The turtle we saw was bigger than a plate and had snappers, so Mom really didn't want us to get near it. Luckily for her, she won and we lost.

    Mom says stay awake from snakes. They are scary.

  10. Hi to all you goofy pups, You had me guessing and I couldn't figure it out. You did make me feel like part of your pack though and this afternoon I'm missing my Reggie so this helped.
    Have a great weekend.

  14. Mom told me that if I ever find one of those slithery things, she will DIE, then resurrect herself long enough to kill me and DIE again. I am absolutely forbidden from touching them. Makes it really hard to resist, but I'm trying 'cause she's really scared!

  18. I my goodness. You all look a bit sinister in today's post. I did not know that you were hunters and killers of helpless little wild creatures. OK, well, the snake maybe had to go, but the poor little turtle. You smushed it? Ew.

    The turtle though, that's a different story!

    ReplyDelete
  27. We sort of thought Ciara would be involved...us being princessess, too, we know about our wilder sides!

    But we weren't too sure about the snake.

  30. A turtle AND a snake?? Sounds like Sibe torture party!! We are so jealous!! All that stinky to roll around on...you guys are so lucky!!

  31. The Phantom is just too smart to fool with those wet critters. I must say I did blame the snake on TD knowing he is partial to them.

    But our Dainty Little Girl and the turtle, no way! lolol

  39. Oh that's so interesting and exciting! Princess Ciara, how I wish I could be there play the tossing games with you! Was that fellow hard?

    I always find some snails in my yard but my humans always say "NO" whenever I go near them : (

    For the snakes! Ewwwww!!!

  42. Loved this post! Rob found a snake in our yard last week. Fortunately the dogs were preoccupied on the other side of the yard.

    On the subject of turtles, we have three turtle dogs. Bailey keeps an eye on anything that moves in the yard, but so far she only sniffs and watches turtles. Morgan picks them up and brings them to me. Tsar plays with the little ones, much s Ciara does. The big ones he tries to sneak into the house so he can examine them at his leisure. He likes to bring in bugs and disassemble them on the carpet and I'm sure he wants to do the same with turtles.

  43. Oh boy, both of those look like a lot of fun to play with. I don't blame you guys one bit!

  45. Wow! That's a lot of wildlife!

    Good job guys on the finds. Not sure of the species of turtle, but that dead snake is a harmless garter snake. They do bite, but they are not venomous thankfully!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Haha, Lightning. You're one up on me. I didn't flip the snakes we saw up in the air, but we've had cats that used to do that! Not that I'm saying you're a cat or anything.....

    JUST KIDDIN'!!

  47. Wowza, poor little turtle and thank goodness the snake was dead. Are they poisonous?? We know its small, but here in Oz a baby brown snake 30 cm long (12 inches) has the venom to kill 22 adults. Yikes. Glad you are all ok. We think your mum should get you all more toys. Yes you all deserve them right? Hope your weekend is great. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  48. that kind of looks like a baby snapping turtle to me......probably a good thing the lawn mower got it - I hear they are not very nice. Was that a garter snake....I think they are safe to be around....but better not to trust any snake I think

    ReplyDelete
  49. O hai! I sorry the little turtle didn't make it. U are very brave to battle the scary snake. :)

  52. You might be hard pushed to find a turtle in our frog pond. But anything is possible. Pleased I never had the blame. I normally blame it on the cat !

  53. I'm so sorry that the turtle went through so much trauma before he passed away, poor thing.
    One time I was walking a very large dog and up ahead of us was a snapping turtle. Needless to say, the dog tried to rush towards it but luckily I was able to stop him. Good thing I did stop him b/c the turtle was a snapping turtle!

  54. A turtle I could handle...a snake??? NO WAY! EEEKEEE

  55. My God - are you sure you guys don't have a Zoo Reptile House in your garden??!! :-)

    Poor little turtle...Hsin-Yi used to have tiny little ones like that as pets when she was a toddler back in Taiwan - they were very popular!
