We drove along the Spokane river, to the Nine Mile and Tum Tum area. The rain started to fall and I was certain I wouldn't have the opportunity to take pictures today. There were brief rainless (is that a word) moments.</div><div> </div><div>We found a great scenic view of the dam - about 300 feet above the river below. The area was fenced off so we thought we would let the girls run, sniff, and explore. I was looking through my view finder, snapping away, when I turned my camera to the girls busily running from one spot to another soaking up all the smells. Jada (picture above left) and Lilee were running side by side...but it looked like Lilee was outside the fence - that can't be...I mean that is on the edge of the cliffs! </div><div> </div><div>I look up from my camera and Lilee<strong> IS</strong> behind the fence on the edge of the cliffs!!! My husband, Walter and I were at least 50 feet away and we realize at the same time what the implications were - I know both of our stomachs dropped. Walter took off down the stairs and over the boulders to get to her. Meanwhile I'm <em>trying</em> to sound as calm as I can while calling for Lilee to come to me. Just as Walter slips on a wet boulder still too far from Lilee (and I'm worried if he is okay) Lilee is back on this side of the fence, she came back through the HOLE in the fence!</div><div> </div><div>I literally saw Lilee's short little life pass before my eyes...I squeezed her so hard when she came back to me...I'm sure she thought she was in BIG trouble. </div><div> </div><div>All ended well, Walter is a little sore but he will live, and we will NEVER take our girls off leash toward cliffs of any kind!</div>DigiGirlDreamzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213080842933401719noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632175970032696838.post-91910198011714840992010-02-13T23:17:00.001-08:002010-02-13T23:20:24.991-08:00Project 365 - Day 44 - 02.13.10<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_utsev-aMlpI/S3ej8d_slrI/AAAAAAAAAJg/ty-oj9N0-Io/s1600-h/Whitworth+Furbaby.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437995334312433330" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_utsev-aMlpI/S3ej8d_slrI/AAAAAAAAAJg/ty-oj9N0-Io/s320/Whitworth+Furbaby.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Just a stroll through campus today with Walter, came across Mr. Fuzzy here..looking for the nuts he buried before winter hit! :)</div>DigiGirlDreamzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213080842933401719noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632175970032696838.post-57155290671486840622010-02-11T20:50:00.000-08:002010-02-11T20:54:19.960-08:00Project 365 - Day 42 - 02.11.10<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_utsev-aMlpI/S3TefgSFtsI/AAAAAAAAAJY/R1Y-06FYZII/s1600-h/DSC_0120.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437215282966148802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_utsev-aMlpI/S3TefgSFtsI/AAAAAAAAAJY/R1Y-06FYZII/s320/DSC_0120.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Something about these leaves in the light caught my attention.

While I'm not a huge supporter of feeding wildlife this presents to two joyful things for me.<br /><br /></div><div></div><div>1. The opportunity to photograph the birds up close and personal.</div><div> </div><div>2. I know they aren't out in the areas the hunters are to shoot them from the sky.</div><div><br /> </div><div>So a little trivia for the day... =)</div><div><br />A lot of people don't know that 90% of bird species are monogamous...with that said there are several levels of monogamy:</div><div> </div><div>(1) Sexual monogamy - mating exclusively with one individual for a given amount of time.<br />Lifetime monogamy - where the 2 birds pair up and remain together for every breeding season for the rest of their lives, in fact if one individual from the couple were to die or get killed, the partner may refuse to mate for many breeding seasons, even for life (e.g., White Albatross, certain parrots, Canadian Geese).<br />Serial monogamy where a bird can be monogamous for one breeding season with a partner and then in the next breeding season be monogamous with a different partner. So that each breeding season the bird is monogamous but the partners are different (such as pigeons).</div><div> </div><div>(2) Social monogamy is when a pair mates, has offspring, and both share parental investment (raise the kids) but still have outside flings - or "extra-pair copulations" (e.g., pigeons). </div><div><br />(3) Genetic monogamy is when DNA tests can confirm that a female's offspring matches up with the DNA of only one father, although the couple may not be physically together. </div>DigiGirlDreamzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213080842933401719noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632175970032696838.post-33373161657518747882010-01-27T19:29:00.000-08:002010-01-27T19:35:38.553-08:00Project 365 - Day 27<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_utsev-aMlpI/S2EFwfsTHjI/AAAAAAAAAFg/lZE9qE2iCM4/s1600-h/DSC_0015.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431628956284689970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_utsev-aMlpI/S2EFwfsTHjI/AAAAAAAAAFg/lZE9qE2iCM4/s320/DSC_0015.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>I think I have a "thing" for trees!
