Terrific Tuesday - And Here Is What Happened Next

This morning I was in my office, checking my emails, and sipping on a cup of Joe when I heard Nitro outside on the back deck freaking out and barking like a crazy dog. I figured he was just bugging my other dog Bailey this morning because they get up every morning and wrestle. I thought they were playing at first but then I saw Bailey casually walk by my office window and I could hear Nitro still freaking out, so I decided to grab my camera and head outside. Here is what happened next.

 Do you see anything unusual in this photo?

 A big beautiful moth with a torn wing...

 Nitro is such a chicken when it comes to bugs (so is Tallulah for that matter)...

 Nitro: I'm bigger then you and you better leave my back yard!

 Then he looks at me like "mommy aren't you going to get him for me?"....

 Nitro: Oh crap the critter moves!

 Stalking position....

 2nd warning....

 Nitro getting into stalking position again....

 Such a big chicken....

 Nitro showing a little bravery....On the next few shots this is what I imagine Nitro was saying in dog talk...

 Nitro: Now what should I do?

 Nitro: Hmm...no dog smells here....

Nitro: Okay, this is it....I'm warning you! You better leave right now!

 Nitro: Okay this is not working for the brother...now what?

Nitro: Hmmm....maybe this little critter isn't so bad after all....

Nitro:  Oh crap! The critter is flapping his wings!

Nitro:  Don't you flap those wings at me!

 Nitro: I'm bigger and tougher then you plus my mommy is standing right here and she will protect me!

 Nitro: Since mommy is so relaxed maybe this little critter isn't so bad after all.

Puppies are so entertaining at nine months. Shortly after I shot these photos, my husband Chris came up from the barn to see what all the ruckus was about and I had him move the moth so I could get back to work.
