Sparky the hunter! Yes, Sparky has demonstrated great proficiency as a hunter. She's a natural at it, and is systematically ridding the farm of mice and shrews and voles. In the above picture Sparky has just caught a shrew
Sparky really gets into the hunting thing. She leaps. She twirls. She pounces. I was able to get a couple of good shots of Sparky's acrobatics as she flung her varmint about.
So what does Sparky do after a spirited session of acrobatics? She takes a well-deserved nap, of course! And what better place for a nap than a sun-warmed sidewalk! (And if the sun is too bright for a nap, just cover your eyes!)
P.S. Remember, to see a large version of the above pictures, just click on the picture. If nothing else, the two "air" pictures are humorous enough to warrant a second look!
