It has been a while since I have posted a strange face so here is a new one.
He didn’t like the sun in his eyes ha-ha!
Oshie makes me laugh! Here is a quick little story that happened over the weekend.
Oshie and I were outside enjoying some decent weather (lately it has been awful). He was running around sniffing and peeing on all of his claimed spots and generally happy not to be cooped up inside. We spent a good hour or so outside just being active. I was looking for birds and he was eating sticks and continuing to pee on things.
Finally the sun was starting to set and it was getting a bit cold so I decided it was time to go inside. Once inside I went to put my coat away and give Oshie a treat. He quickly scarfed it down and then began trying to lead me upstairs. I was curious as to what he wanted so I decided to follow. He sauntered right into our bedroom and then continued on to the master bath. Once in the bathroom he stopped, sat down in front of the bath tub and looked at me with the sad eyed please look he does when he wants something.
Not sure exactly what he wanted I asked him “what do you want” followed with “show me“. Well he puts his paw up on the tub and lets out a little whimper. At this point I am thinking he wants a bath but he had just gone to the groomer the week before so that wasn’t happening. Then I noticed he was looking at the faucet and it dawned on me, he wanted me to hand feed him water out of the faucet. I began to laugh out loud as I turned on the faucet. He had water in his bowl down stairs but noooo he wanted to beg for faucet water. This is a terrible but comical habit he picked up waiting around for us to get in and out of the shower.
I gave him a few handfuls of water and turned the faucet off laughing the whole time. All I could think about is Oliver Twist ha-ha.

We had a fun weekend! The weather was gorgeous here in North Carolina, so much so that Oshie enjoyed a romp in the waves at the beach on Saturday and on Sunday we went for a “nature walk” in shorts and t-shirts.
As much as I love snow and miss living in the north and around mountains, I can’t complain when the end of January weather consists of cloudless 70 degree days.
Here are a few shots from the weekend activities. The Pelicans were seen on our nature walk on Sunday. They let us get pretty close before they became uncomfortable and took off.
So I have been photographing birds lately. I have put a few feeders around the yard and have been constantly frustrated as I attempt to get some decent shots.
As usual Oshie could not care less about the birds and always saunters over and scares them away right as I have the perfect shot lined up. He did this the other morning when I was about to take the closest shot I have managed to date of
a red shouldered hawk. I was bummed but he will be back.
Anyway, it is fun and gets me outside and practicing with the camera and there is not much more I could ask for.
Here are two shots of an Eastern Blue Bird I took through our decks sliding glass door. If the glass wasn’t there and the light was a bit better I think they would have come out much sharper.
Here is a series of shots I took of Oshie examining a weed and determining that it was indeed chew-able. He then grabs hold of it and rips it out onto the grass. He startled himself a few times in the process. At one point (last photo) he appears to be wondering if anyone is watching him. As always thanks for stopping by.
