Good morning, Bird. Hope you have a good day!

Hairy, the puppy, was 6 weeks old in the picture. Yes, part of the reason I love him so much is his bone structure. He is sturdy, well built and muscular without carrying extra weight. The lets him run faster, as if he is chasing a coyote. In the winter, the Coyotes form packs, and will come over the fence to kill a goat or sheep. (They run alone in the summer when their normal food is plentiful.)

Yes, the 6 Anatolians keep us all safe, the animals and myself. They keep me at peace as if something untoward is happening, they make sure I come. If I don't come fast enough, they do what they think is right. They have never bitten anyone,  but will encircle any person who jumps the fence, and take turns charging, until the person doesn't move. No one can come here without them letting me know! If it's a coyote, they will kill it, as in their mind, it is harmful to the other animals. Last week, Hairy got sprayed by a skunk, as he had never seen one before and wasn't expecting that reaction from the skunk. I bet he never gets that close again! Ha, ha. It's fun to see them mature and recognize how they change. Hairy weighs 120-125 right now, and he will keep growing until he's 2, so I would guess he will weigh 150 or more. MST males weigh in at about 120. Hairy is exceptional.

Yes, I would have liked to research the falcons longer, but the USFS positions are based on the ederal budget, unless you are tenured. So when a new president is elected, lots of research is terminated. A real shame as no one looks at the falcons now. But maybe that's best for the falcons! I wish your brother many years of growth and pleasure in his work.

Good progress with your list of things to be done. I need a break from challenges as well. I just finished the train challenge for my 2nd game on another computer, and then it immediately downloaded the dinner challenge! No rest for me. But I will probably just try to finish the g0at game, and let my other game sleep.

Is there any thing you are wishing for? Let me know and I will do my best. Thanks for being a good friend!
