Charlie tackles Toto

Charlie and Toto are such active little puppies!  Charlie is the affectionate one of the two pups.  His image is the first one below.  They are not an easy photo subject as they are constantly on the move!  When it gets really hot as it has been they will find shade to play in, as you can see by the last image when they are both chewing on a stick underneath our car.

 

They are so entertaining when they get to playing with each other like this tackle image below where Charlie jumps on top of Toto.

Cattle, a rolling donkey, a spoiled horse, and a smiling lizard

Meet the Hereford calves, cows, and bull that are among the wildflowers at the Smith Ranch.  Also included for your viewing pleasure is an image of our donkey Ozark rolling in the dirt.  Donkeys will roll in the dirt and get up and shake their head and ears and not their body.  The reason for this is the dirt provides insulation against the heat and cold.

Below Ace is leaning over the fence to get his daily treat.

The lizard below is quite content on his elevated rock home!  Even looks like he is smiling in the image!
