It's me, Trip. We have those green dung beetles here too. Those things not only go after my markings of my territory, but they bury the sheep poop too. All I can say is, we shore need more of them green beetles, there's sheep poop everywhere. Maybe those Looney Gooney Guineas are eating the beetles! I'll bark at them!

IMAG4253.jpg .....Hey guys and gals!!!....:frow....please....please, don't say a word.....if ya do...I'll deny it unto death....:lol:......ya know how absolutely "clueless" these old fogeys really are??......I patiently waited while the old fart was watching the mornin news....he got up to go sit in that little room down the hall....and I jumped at the opportunity and grabbed the "dish" and began to let him know I was ready for the morning walk....I checked and the sun was starting to shine and the water stopped falling....so, I had to seize the moment...so, as he headed back up the hall, I "herded" him to the door....right to his shoes....and then stared at the lead on the counter.....now, ya know what this idiot asked me??....yep!!....do ya wanna go outside?.....I took this "selfie" to show ya my reaction.....can ya see tbe "fire" in my eyes?....I sure hope the ones y'all put up with are a tad bit smarter than these "low watt bulbs".....:).....remeber to not say nothing...I like my treats and have them trained for that....no need to disrupt a "good thang".....;)

Oh Gabby girl, you made me Missy and Sophie laugh really hard :lol:....ummmm this is Mel ...ya know....our humans are pretty strange too. They got a goat kid on the kitchen island AND mom ( ya that's what i call her now ) even lets that thing sit on her lap ON THE FURNITURE while she feeds it ...and wipes it's butt !!!
We can't get on the furniture, we can't go near the island....AND we have to lick our butts clean ourselfs, without her help ! What do these goat things do, that makes them get so much attention from her ? After all I protect everyone at night while they sleep !....humans :idunno......they are so hard to understand...... Don't worry, I won't even tell mom your secret...that's tween us canines, we gotta stick together ! .......your BYH friend Mel :flypig

Um, Gabbie, I suggest you tell the old fogey straight out that you need a new dish. You know how clueless he is, can't even tell that it won't fly any more. Where is the fun in that??
FB_IMG_1518620066483.jpg ....this was in the "papers" that I came to them with.....so, that is my "dish" and as long as there is something to hold on to it with....I give them grief over the pieces that breakoff....I'm sure some tape or glue would do the trick...but, NOOO!!.....they just throw it out in the trash.....just so, Rude!....I tell ya....just wanted ya to know that it isn't them....it's me....and don't think for a moment that I forgot about You!!....:love:love......

Seems like rule number 10 means they can toss the broken off bits Gabbie! I still think you should ask for a new one. Actually, I could send you one! I dug it out of the pond last fall, I should have thought to bring it with me in March. This stupid old fogey can't think ahead at all!
