My Puppy, Josie, was happy to come when I called her. Wagging her tail, and tip toe dancing over, she came to collect some pets & praise. I pulled the chewed croc from behind my back, and her reaction was as expected, just a bit dramatic

I filmed my Dogs frantic searching of all possible rat hiding spots next to our coop. He has always dug gofer holes, and has a natural desire to hunt rats, which I joyfully exploit. Enjoy

Two stunning male ducks having some splash time. These fellas have been swimming in this pool since they were handheld. They love swimming together. Watching them swim live is a treat, but seeing them in Slo-mo, adds a new definition to the term beautiful.

I filmed the longer version of this a while back while I was at the Coast with my family. This beetle was so large, I saw it from a distance.

How do you even describe this...

I just edited a little clip of this ant I caught. Dumb, I know 😜

Rumble/Animals, This bug crawled bright onto my buddies porch during a BBQ. How is this not a dinosaur? Why did I give this creature access to major arteries? Why is this creature not on a terrorist watch list? He ended up crashing our barbecue, then just strolling off. Amazing critter though!

Here are over 100 of my "keepers" over the last year and 1/2. I have many more, but these were a few I took pics of. It's a long video, and don't expect people to watch all the way threw, but I'm curious about what you think, so let me know in the comments.

I was trompin along when I came across this weird looking spider. As I looked more closely I noticed she had babies on her back. I'd never see this before, and as gross as it looked it was amazing to see all the little babies moving on her back.

My two Drake's (before I knew they were Drake's) trying to run off my then brand new puppy. Me and my wife thought this was both cute & hilarious. I also noted what a good dog I had, to not even nip back!

I heard some birds screaming, and walked towards the sound to investigate. I was extremely startled to see this horned owl being assaulted by some smaller birds who I assume were being territorial. It was an absolute once in a lifetime sighting. I've never seen one soo close outside of a zoo or something!

Puppy & cat play with kiddy music playing in the background. The kids were watching tv, and the song was " find a way to play together" as the dog and cat played to the music, I saw that message. Simple, maybe corny, but we as humanity, especially with differences, should "find a way to play together"

Me, & the boys had fun with a ramp they built. We tried to see just how many cars we could jump. We all loved seeing them get air in super slo- mo! Hope it's enjoyed.

I did a quick video on our most recent quail Harvest. Because of the nature of this video, it may be too graphic for some people, and viewer discretion is advised. The process is simple, and made a great family get together. Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Me, and the Kids all help with the process. Even the dogs, and chickens help finish off every last part of the bird. It definitely gives you a healthy respect for what goes into the meat we buy everyday. It also helps to know exactly how the bird was treated, and what it's diet was. I hope this was helpful to some, who may be getting ready to give this a try themselves.

Early morning, alone coyote was making his way across my property. I could see him stopping occasionally to listen to my flock. At this point they were only about 50 yards away. I have to say the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra came in handy on this occasion. I was able to get a pretty decent shot with the zoom on this phone. It's pretty amazing to see this animal, even in an environment that is pretty urban area of Santa Rosa.

The Russian River swelled, and engulfed River road. This was 2 years ago, 2018. It did do a lot of damage to Guerneville. Some folks took it as an opportunity to try out some of their toys. The fire department also drove up, creating a HUGE wake.

I captured this on the galaxy S9+. It's amazing that we can get this kind of footage with our phones. I was dazzled by seeing their little wings flap. Absolutely amazing.

My sister had a few, and decided to try and pick up my very angry, very violent kitty. He won't allow people other then me to pet him, let alone pick him up. The result was hilarious, when after many failed pet attempts, she did the unthinkable, and actually tried to lift my beast from the place in which he lay.

I wanted to see if my ducks would respond to the sound of other ducks on my cell phone. My white Aylesbury, who is a Drake, immediately went into high alert, and began responding with his robot like call.
