Somehow, It's Funny that Way

GS is studying viola (and piano.). 2 DD's play violin, other plays cello.
So, Yeah, pretty funny!
They say that the violist(s) is/are the Nicest person/people in the orchestra.

the Tuba and Percussionists can fight it out and nobody else would notice...

Howsomeever, I have long appreciated the drummer. Probably has a lot to do with my hearing . A good beat and I'm a little more ready for exercise.

That’s because that is not a blue Heeler, that is a badger. It’s a joke. This is a Blue Heeler.

...The badger saw us and hightailed it outta there . Luckily for all 4 of us.

you are too smart for those britches, but i can bet you that it did not "hightail"...

@Marie2020 , that's what our badgers look like. Maybe you would see the wolverine here as more similar in colour to European badgers. Anyway, if @Shades-of-Oregon had a neighborhood badger, that would take care of her ground squirrel problems.

Well, is it "slinked" or "slunk" away, @flowerbug ? Any way, I wouldn't have been able to find anything other than a stick and those 2 would never have been a match for him no matter what they thought.

I saw a similar critter once and they didn't see it — a Pine Martin. That pleased me. Coyotes were a problem for the chickens but shooting AT one and shooting another seemed to solve problems for the remainder of my time living in the sticks.

A funny thing happened once with Maska. She was sniffing at something and I continued walking. She raced past me to be in front, as dogs will do. And, suddenly stopped! She very carefully stepped aside, one foot at a time. She had inadvertently straddled a big pile of bear poop.

Steve That’s ok you can keep the badgers up there. We have bob cats that travel thru the pastures leaving trails of quail feathers and half eaten moles , mice , squirrels , rabbits and scat left behind to mark their territory.
Not to mention coyotes.
Besides I caught the ground squirrels in a cage and no longer have them … yet… more will come. I have got to get rid of the hazelnut trees. Still working on that project.

Our badgers look completely different.

That was such a cute guy in @Baymules post. I'd want to take him home
