1. Sweet, I love the way you have cranes where you are and they also fly across the hymalayas. Over China?

   • China has four different species of cranes, I think. Pretty amazing birds, all of them. ❤

     • Are they related to herons or am I imagining that?

       • No, except for kind of resembling each other they don’t have much in common. They don’t eat the same thing, have the same family structure and so on. Here’s a little article I found interesting. https://animals.mom.com/differences-between-cranes-herons-8433.html

         • Thanks! Convergent evolution perhaps….

2. Very interesting article! Thanks

   • There is a lot of fascinating stuff on the subject. 🙂 Cranes are one of the most ancient species. I’ve never found anything about the Great Blue Heron. Anyway, it’s wonderful to see both of them.

     • 😊👍

3. That shot of Teddy is about as good as it gets. 🙂

   • He’s one cute little guy and incredibly smart. He has a big vocabulary and responds to hand gestures. I realized last night I’ve been training him without trying. After living with Siberian huskies so long — and Bear who’s cooperative rather than obedient — it’s pretty cool to have a dog who learns from me.

     • I get it. Toulouse responded to hand gestures and would look right into me asking if something was okay. I swear he had a sense of humor. I miss that boy every day. You don’t get over it, you just get used to it. But yeah, that look Teddy has in the photo reminds me of my dear Toulouse.

4. I love your conversations with Bear and Teddy. Teddy is so polite. The drawing is great. With the cranes added, the fog (for me) has disappeared!

   • Cranes have that power! ❤ Teddy is VERY polite. I wish you could see him when he wants to go for a walk. It's so cute and so polite. He sits, sticks his neck out, cocks his head and looks intently at me. Sometimes he kind of marches in place with his front feet. He's NOT polite on the leash, but now that the three of us can walk together, he will improve.

     • If we could meet, I know Teddy and my youngest kitty, Pumpkin, would hit it off perfectly. I just know it!

       • Unless Pumpkin ran. Teddy has a passionate prey drive. 😦

         • 🙀😻

           • My experience is that cats that don’t run make friends with dogs quickly. I had dogs and cats together for years. One of my dogs adopted two kittens and let them “nurse” her.

5. I’m loving the cranes in the drawing!! I do hope they become a painting… As for Teddy – I’m smitten. He is so earnest and focused. Most Aussie attempt to communicate telepathically – they stare and send though waves at their humans… Also great that all 3 of you went for a walk together! ❤ ❤ ❤

   • that’s exactly how Teddy gets his points across. Very well, actually. 😀

6. Teddy is a wonderful helper Martha! I love your drawing with the cranes and imagine it would look good in pen and ink too 💜
