ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL aka EASTER IN AUSTIN.

Somebody smells fried chicken. Three of these dogs are Kay & Jim's- the other two belong to Mitch and Valerie and are frequent guests. The 2 boys with the collars are Blaze and Gus. The girls are Pie, Blossom and their Mother Ripley.

There are small creatures inside this box...namely a Mother Screech Owl is sitting on her eggs. Couldn't get a good picture of the Daddy owl who keeps constant watch from a nearby branch...unless he's out at night catching and then bringing Mama some food. They come every year and raise a family.

Paladin is the King of The Wayward Pony Ranch. He is in his 20's and loves to steal alcoholic drinks of any kind...from Martinis to beer. Do not leave your drink unattended! And don't leave the door open either or you'll find him in the kitchen.

This dog is a movie star and is wanting some sun glasses. It's either Pie or Blossom...I get them mixed up.

Where's Waldo? Another small creature. I need a better zoom on my camera. He was very timid. It's a big, beautiful roadrunner that was going from one side mirror on the truck to the other...pecking at his reflection. It was great entertainment.

This is Lola...and Jim. She belongs to Kay's Mom...Maxine. She is a frequent visitor and guest.

Look at all the pretty show dogs!!!

Mitch rather "hypnotized" Bennie for at least an hour. He was in love! At least it kept him from scratching & biting himself for awhile. I did not stop to take pictures of any wildflowers and that's a crime. Also apologies to our dog Willie and Kay's cat Suki and her pig Nadine for not getting their photos. Thanks for a great time Kay & Jim. We sure had fun as always!!!
