A razor-taloned raptor this afternoon swooped out of the clear – but normally moist – northwest sky and rendered a black panther harmless. Yep, the Seattle Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl!Our recent addition Buddy, the Cavalier King Charles spaniel, joined me on the recliner to watch the NFC Championship game. Kay Lynne was right nearby on the couch. He is, of course, a spaniel, and aren’t all spaniels bird dogs?
Apparently so, as Buddy faithfully watched almost the entire game with “rapt(or)” attention just hoping to catch a glimpse of the Seahawk mascot. The picture above shows him seated in the recliner under my arm.
The bird that serves as the Seahawk mascot has an ominous, almost vicious specter which kind of leads me to believe it may really be a falcon – but who’s checking. When they showed the bird during the prelims, Buddy stirred a bit but couldn’t quite get himself up out of my recliner to consider anything like a point.
After only five days with us, he’s proving to be, first of all, a great bird dog and, secondly, a true football fan. And that, of course, makes him a welcome member of this family. With that, we’ve had ample posts on the new dog. Off to something else in the next one.
