Meet Nelson

This is Nelson.



He likes to chill in our backyard.



This is Nelson playing peek a boo with me. You can't tell, but he is staring me down and is amused and confused by this paparazzi moment.



Nelson and his wife, Gertrude, have an intricate maze of tunnels and holes all around our backyard. They can often be seen chasing one another across the railroad ties at the back fence. I am not sure how I feel about the situation, but they do have squatters rights to some degree.

This is Scruffy.



Scruffy does not understand that he can't run up a tree the way Nelson and Gertrude do. Let me reassure you that it does not stop him from trying. It also never gets old watching him try.

And, of course, this is Chewie.



He is terrified of Nelson. But in the spirit of maintainig his alpha dog status, he pretends that he is going to chase Nelson down every time he goes outside. Then Nelson peeks out of one of his holes in the yard... And Chewie runs back to the door, tail between his legs. Really.

That too never gets old to watch.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
