Ooh baby, baby it's a wild world...

We have had some lovely weather in the last week or so around these parts. Over the weekend I gave Walnut some chores to do...I hate to be a "honey-do" wife...but it was hanging a shelf, and he is taller making it way easier for him...and I took Little Cashew to the park to play. We gave her new play blanket a work out and she had a blast.

At one point a rather large doberman walked by (on a leash) and started barking at us...I kind of freaked out (even though I am a dog person) because it looked like he wanted to eat Little Cashew for lunch. She didn't mind at all! About 20 minutes later a wild turkey (Yes wild turkey...I'll give you a minute to pick your jaw up...it must live in the little bit of wooded area in the park...who knew we had wild turkeys?!?!) came within about 12ish feet of us...minding it's own business and she completely freaked out. She was crying big tears and practically trembling. It walked away, I picked her up and she calmed down pretty quickly.

She usually LOVES being outside...but apparently turkeys are a bit too much for her. I don't blame her actually...those things are kind of ugly!

So I guess this means Little Cashew is a city girl at heart?
