A few days ago we were getting ready to pull into our driveway but had to wait for a car to pass. We were upset to see the passing car hit a cardinal. It was just flipping around in the middle of the road so we decided to atleast set it on the shoulder to keep it from being hit again. My son being the way he is decided to give it a look over to see how badly it was hurt. Of course his sister wanted to see and they were going to find a box hoping it wasn't to terribly hurt and could nurse it back to health. I think it is just so amazing how the bird is nuzzling him like it knew he would take good care of it. I decided to grab my camera because it isn't that often you can get that close to a cardinal. I kid you not that after about 10 minutes or so of my son loving on that bird it up and flew away. WOW amazing! We were sure it's wing had been broken. I am guessing that it was probably just stunned. I love a good ending. I also really love this picture.

You know it is hot outside when the dog starts sitting in the water dish LOL We recently bought a little kids pool for our dogs so that they could cool off if they did get to hot. We took our sons pug "BooBoo" and set him in the pool to see if he might enjoy it. Well he really did. Maybe to much so. Now we can't seem to keep him out of the water dish either. LOL Not like they ever get the chance to overheat because everyday about 3 PM we let the dogs come in for a nap. Pugs can overheat if the temperatures go above 80 degrees. So we are careful to watch out for him. Now he seems to think that the water dish is just for him to sit in. Before you know it the water in the dish is real murky brown and we end up changing their water several times a day. Oh boy~ He is one funny character to say the least. I am not sure he is even using the pool anymore.
