Wordless Wednesday-Get It Blaze!

The Hunter

If you are squeamish, you may want to stop right here.  

One thing I love about nature is the natural cycles that occur.

Elmer Fudd, LOOK OUT!

Cause Blaze got that wascally wabbit!!

Taste like chicken!!

Blaze was so proud of herself, we couldn't resist the photo.

Mr. Bunny was placed in the 24 Paws of Love graveyard in the little woods across the street.
May he rest in peace.

Hunting Season Warning

Rifle and Muzzle loader season for Whitetail Deer is fast approaching in our area. While I do not hunt, I once lived with an avid hunting family. They warned me of one thing:


Hunters have been known to shoot loose dogs while hunting. Whether it be by accident or from chasing and scaring off their game.

This is a subject that I feel very strongly about. I have not ever experienced a tragedy of this nature, but I'm so thankful I was made aware of this and would like to share this with others who may not know.

Prevention is key:

The most important precaution is to avoid hunting areas, forest, fields and swamps during these times. Go to a park or other secure area.

Find out when local hunting seasons are from your DNR or other local source.

Keep your dogs secure in your home and yard.

If you walk through hunting areas:

Have you and your dog wear Hunter Orange.

Keep your dog leashed. It only takes a second to loose sight of your dog and it may be too late.

Stay on a designated path.

It is unfortunate, but sadly it happens. I've heard several stories of hunters shooting themselves or another by being startled, because they have fallen asleep or have an itchy trigger finger. I have nothing against hunters and I know this does not pertain to every hunter, but I would like let others know it can happen.

Lets keep every one safe this season and most of all our furry friends.

Is this enough Hunter's Orange, Mom?
