Dog blog

Ahh, hi, my name is Lita. So this is a blog. My mom's girl-pup left her computer on the table. There have been a lot of good smells around here. I smell a lot of deer meat and cookies! Everyone has been very busy here and it has been hard to get a lot of the attention that I naturally desire and deserve.

Here's a lovely photo of me and my Mom's second grand-pup. He gives me good head scratches. I found a great bone to chew on but I couldn't keep it very long because that girl-pup took it away from me. It was so nice and drippy and yummy. darn.

All the humans have finally relaxed tonight since they put all that good smelly stuff in the big white cold box in the basement. My mom's boy-pup brought back another deer this morning so my humans caught five deer-animals. Oops, I better go sit in my kennel and so my humans don't know my paw-pads can type on keyboards.

The hunt was successful. Our group (me, hubby, my mom, my brother and his second son) harvested four deer over the first weekend of hunting. DH shot two, DB shot one, and DM (MOM) shot one. I saw a possum, a barred owl, and several fat squirrels. /sigh Today was spent processing the deer and we'll spend several hours tomorrow also on the same task. Yes, we are all quite tired but happy to know the freezers will be full again. We butcher and package everything ourselves. We make jerky with some of the meat with a famous family recipe. The rest is burger, roasts, and steaks. Yum.
