Vern the Redfoot - Photo Thread

[MPRC]

64 degrees and full sun here in Eugene, OR. Vern is out for a walk and all he wants in life is to meet a chicken. He's been trying for 45 minutes to get to the coop and every time he hits the shade I rudely foil his plan.

I just got excited that Vern was tearing out mouthfuls of fresh clover in the pasture. Turns out that's the only way to eat the bunny poop that is mixed in. Not sure I'm so excited anymore.

Really Vern? REALLY?! Up and over is the best way to get to the chicken coop? Silly Shell Puppy.

Is there a special reason Vern has been detailed?

 

[MPRC]

He's out wandering and we are on 5 acres so it makes it so I can spot him from the deck and make sure he's not running for the property line while still relaxing and soaking up some sun. He likes to hide under the vehicles here so visibility is good.

Good morning!

Oh Vern... anyone need a stud redfoot?I'll slap a stamp on his butt and send him your way. He's been in love mode for about 2 hours now, grunting, clicking and chasing me around.
