Finally, something undesirable that we don't have here in Australia. I didn't realise that they actually made those raised lines from tunneling, thought it was just in cartoons!

That looks like a hedge hog that people keep for pets around here. I guess it could be the same thing and you have the correct name for it.

They look a lot like hedgehogs, but are actually a monotreme, (think that's the spelling), and they are an egg laying mammal! The only other one in the family is the Platypus, and that's a seriously weird critter. Unfortunately there are no Platypus out here as it's too dry for them. They need permanent creeks to live in.
I had to look him up to get a better look at his face. He's pretty cute! LOL like a little ant eater.
When the dogs really gone nuts, I always check it out. Might be a bear or something, you know? 
This was still a first for me. I don't know if I've ever seen a pheasant walking on our property. If I did, it was a long time ago. Usually we see them out on the road, being flushed out from the hunters in the woods. This guy was just so beautiful! I know a few of you would like to see him under glass!
I just think he's beautiful to look at and photograph!
I can barely talk with all the Ruckus going on! LOL

I hate when I forget to turn the mute on. Now both of mine are going nuts.When the dogs really gone nuts, I always check it out. Might be a bear or something, you know?

He is beautiful.
Beautiful! I'm surprised you don't have more with all of the corn fields you have there.
I did think of doing that for a ring tone too but I bet it would annoy the hell out of people around me in no time. LOL
Oh, hell no, for a ring tone! LOL That would even annoy you after a while!
I was thinking for when some unsavory character comes to the door so they hear a bunch of dogs barking!
My own and the recording! Haha! They'd run for sure! But heck, its so seldom out here. My dogs are enough.

Me too! Jazz is out looking for the trouble. Makes you wonder what exactly your dogs were saying!
Yes, he's gorgeous!

Then I guess Jazz was saying "Where is it! I'll get it!!!"My dogs were saying, " Intruder! Intruder! Let me at 'em!"

Well, they aren't actually in my back yard, but they are free ranging on the miners common where I take Jazz quite often!
Reckon there'll be a new baby camel soon! They aren't native of course.

Wow, I can't imagine coming across that when I'm walking my dog! Pretty cool though LOL
No pictures, but we just saw our little pheasant again. I was out with the dogs and had the hose in my hand when my husband came up behind me and said, I just saw that Pheasant right out here. And he points right out in the open area next to the corral! He said, I'm surprised the dogs didn't see him. I went to look and OMG, sure enough, there he was, plain as day. Nobody saw him! I took the dogs into the barn and we then lost sight of him.
A few minutes ago I came back in the house and was washing my hands at the kitchen sink when I saw him run across the driveway! His little legs going as fast as they can go without flying lol it was the funniest thing! I burst out laughing!

Our resident fox friend came right up on to the porch last night. Saw either a mouse or baby rabbit on the camera a couple hours later... Close call!
Wow! That is so cool! He's really quite beautiful. But I am shocked that he comes right up to your door when you have two dogs. Or just the fact that they are there and I never see them!
Have you ever noticed how many ring doorbells are making the news? Catching thieves!

They are certainly not shy! And yes, these doorbells are awesome! We actually changed to the Nest because it integrates nicer with googley products and that's what we use. If we're watching TV and someone comes up to the door, we can now broadcast the image to the TV. Boys and their toys!
