Tucker Bear here, reporting in with a farm safety update for Tucker Tuesday!
Life on the farm is frought with danger and loud noises and scary things, so a pup has to be on high alert at all times. For one thing, mama is still in denial about "oven puppy", so I can't be surprised at her nonchalant attitude about this week's dangers. Let me explain. First thing this morning I was shaken from a sound slumber (that's me slumbering in mama's bed, where I sometimes sleep with one eye open to protect her from the scary things she doesn't know about) when we were attacked by what I can only assume were space aliens! The clatter from the kitchen was out of this world and I sprang up from my dreams barking and growling so they would know this was NOT going to end well for them! Mama said it was just the kitty knocking a cookie sheet off the counter, but I know better! Once I chased off the aliens I tried to get back to sleep, but I just couldn't get any peace. I could hear monsters in the woods screaching and yowling. Mama said they were raccoons and we could hear them because it was so warm that she had the window open, but I know better. Raccoons... pfffph... Then I was working hard at mama's desk (see me in the pic working hard) when I decided we should take a break so mama and I walked out to the backyard. I was trying to concentrate on a place to piddle when suddenly I heard a giant crashing thru the woods! Mama said it was a tree falling, but I know a crashing giant when I hear one, so I barked and barked until it heard me and ran away. Yesterday was super warm outside, so I spent a lot of time guarding the chickens. Mama was busy taking the lights off our outside tree (she said if she didn't, daddy was going to start calling her a redneck...?) so I made sure I kept a close eye on them. See my chickens?? There used to be more of them but mama says a fox came and then we didn't have as many chickens, so I have to keep an eye out for the fox to come back so I can chase it away too. Then we walked around the perimeter looking for dangers and I had to make mama stay back from this raging river so she wouldn't get wet. I got a drink out of it, but that's just because I'm so brave. I saw lots of scary critters while we were walking and I barked at all of them even tho mama said they were cute. I almost caught one. He was little but sometimes the little ones are the most dangerous things. I tried to get a pic of him to show you because you wouldn't believe the racing stripes on his back. Mama called him a chipmonkey, but he didn't look anything like my moneky... she said there are lots of them at the house. Great, how does she ever sleep with that much danger around!?! Well that's farm life for ya. Mama says we're getting some other farm pups this spring so I won't have to work so hard to keep everyone safe. I can't wait, I could use a break! Talk to you all again soon, stay safe out there! Tucker PS - Anyone know what a fox looks like??
