Lucy keeps a sharp eye out for squirrels or any other animals that might dare to trespass in our back yard.

Apologies
Please accept my apologies for going dark for several days. Computer issues have kept me off line.
The Alert One ensures that all is in order.
Keeping an eye
I was very kindly allowed to bring Achilles to work. At one point, he positioned himself at the entrance, where he could watch the world go by.
Waited, watched
When I arrived home this attractive little rabbit was crouched between the car and the gate. It waited, watched while I got out and edged circuituously by, dashing off only when I was about six feet away.
Achilles, watchful
Our backyard is songbird friendly so we prefer that the neighbourhood cats stay clear of the backyard. A cat was unfamiliar with the rule and Achilles busted it trespassing so it was compelled to seek shelter up a tree. Achilles kept a watchful eye for about 90 minutes until we all went inside, giving kitty a chance to escape.
Not to worry . . .
. . . Stella is uninterested in this Mourning Dove.
On guard
Little if any activity slips unnoticed past watchful Achilles and Stella.
Fascinated
Achilles was fascinated by the activity and the two dogs in a neighbour’s yard. He sat watching for over ten minutes. Then he lay down and watched for some minutes longer. He never barked, or whined, simply watched.
Watch dog
Achilles, illuminated by the grow light, observes me from the other room.
Watch dog
In an image taken without flash, a ghostly Achilles watches me from the next room. He likes spending time in there. Achilles has always been fairly independent, being outside on his own, spending time in space which we aren’t sharing at the time. Able to, trusted to, be on his own.
