"The Coyote"

The other day i was outside working on my driveway, because the night before we had some heavy rain. The rain wash a driveway out in the few places. So anywhere after awhile i got done and came in the house.

I left the front door open and went and sit down in the easy chair for awhile. I could see outside from where i was sitting down. I was sitting down for only a few minutes, when i seen a coyote.

He was walking by the house, not more than ten feet from the door-step. He stop and look into the house for about one minutes and then he walk into the woods and was gone from sight. I never know what i am going to see.

"WOODCHUCK IN A TREE"

This story takes place a few years back, when i had my five Siberian Husky dogs. We all was outside one day, when one of them seen something move. He left a bark out and made for it, so then the other four went to.

I looked and there was a woodchuck, well he did not know what to do. There was a tree by him, so up the tree he went. I never knew woodchucks could climb trees. But when you got five things bigger than you coming toward you that is planning to have you for dinner, i guess maybe you could do most anythings.

So i went up to the tree and look at him and i told him, he was lucky that tree was there. So then i called the dogs to the house. They did not want to leave, but they did after the while.

So then after awhile, the woodchuck came down from the tree and left the area. He figure he better not make his home here. lol.

"ROCKING CHAIR"

One day many years ago, it was a very hot day, so mom open the front door. This way the house may cool down abit. So then after awhile, mom went back into that room and guess what she found?

There was a woodchuck, sleeping in the rocking chair. One of my sister, went for her camera, but before she got it, he woke up and out he went. He decided there was to many peoples there.

When you live in the wild of Nova Scotia, you never know who or what might drop in for a visit. lol.

"THE DAY THE HEN HAWK ATTACKED ME"

This story's takes place in very late fall a numbers of years ago. At that time i had a small groups of miniature ducks or call ducks as they is called. This breeds of duck is about one pound in weight and very small. They are called call duck because they are talking all the time. There are one of my favorite animals.

So they wanted to get out, so i lets them out for awhile. Then they went in front of the house, and i was watching them from the house. Then they all was looking up, so i went outside, just as a hawk try to get one. But he did not get one. So i told them it was time to go back in the barn.

So we started for the barn and they was very close to me because that hawk was still flying around us. I kept my eyes on the hawk to. He circles a few times and then he went higher and then he started flying straight for me. I said to myself, does he mean to attack me? He came straight for me and hit me in the chest and knock me to the ground and then took for one of the ducks. But me being me, i made for him and try to grab him, but i never got him and then he decided to fly away.

So then all of my ducks came out of hiding and i took them to the barn and put them back in their pen. They was doing some talking to. They was telling all the other call ducks in the barn, how this big bird try to get them but daddy protected them. lol.

"MY FIRST GUINEA PIGS"

This is a story about how i got my very first guinea pig. This takes place in the late 1950. Would be 1958-59 or there about. I was only four or five years old at the time. One night we was watching TV and it was about guinea pigs. I felt in love with them, so mom and dad said they would get me some.

So we starting looking around for some but there was none to be found. So mom said maybe they would be some in the paper to sell when it came. So the newspaper came and sure enough there was one ad, saying guinea pigs for sale. But it was in western Canada, over 2000 miles away.

So my mother phoned them and made a deal to buy 2 pairs of them. Then they had to go to town to the post office and get a money order and send that, so we could get the guinea pigs.

After awhile the day came that they was to come in by train, yes by train. So we went to town to get them. But they could not find them. The conductor had found them, and was afraid they might get hurt, so he took them with him, so he could keep a eye on them. The conductor wanted to buy them from us but mom said no. He felt in love them . He said he had never seen anything like them. lol. He said he was going to get some to.

So then we took them home. Now we knew nothing about them at all. The paper that came with them said their favorite food was lettuce. And to feed them lots of green stuff.

We put them in a large pen but the two males fought and one male got out. He live under the woodpile all summer. Come fall we had some fun getting him, but we did. In the winter we kept them in the basement. Because it was warmer there. I had them for a few years but then we moved and i had to sell them.

From time to time i may add more storys to do with guinea pigs.
