And safer, too.

We hope the surprise is awesome for them!

Sam said...: Well, I guess I was buried in my Anatomy and Physiology book and missed hearing about Fenway and Stumpy's latest adventures. But I bet they kept those coyotes away all night. :); May 4, 2011 at 1:33 PM

♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥ said...: Those coyotes can be very deceiving. Hope Stumpy and Fenway stay on guard ON that deck and don't go join the pack. Fenway will be missed by us too.

Cyndi and Stumpy said...: Kristine, I can't wait to surprise Stumpy and Fenway, either! they are going to be two happy and tired dogs!

Carey, Weirdly, I haven't seen any coyote in quite some time. I'm thinking pups are keeping mom close to the den.

Elyse and Riley, I've tried to talk my son into letting Fenway stay. Mother's day is coming right up, you know!

kari, I know I feel better when Stumpy has back up!

Pedro, or an owl's dinner :(

Sam, I hope the anatomy and physiology was worth it. I know when exam time rolls around you'll be glad you did!

OP Pack, Stumpy used to play with a couple of coyote pups, a couple years back. I will miss 'Fenway and Stumpy's constant and endless antics and battles.

24 Paws, Sad for Stumpy and ME, too!; May 5, 2011 at 1:50 PM
