What's the matter here?

What's the matter here?

Never a dull moment around here. This is a picture of the gate to our backyard from the front of our house. Does any thing seem a bit strange to you?

Maybe it would help if I got down lower?

How about now?

Hmm, I suppose it would have been better if I could have got a shot of the fence from the ground up but that rascal moved before I could. If you couldn't guess it - our dog Beowulf is high off the ground looking over the top of our tall gate. This popped in my head when I first saw him (I totally picture him talking that way, too). We had firewood delivered recently and it's in a pile behind the fence until Kevin can stack it. Beowulf decided it was the perfect thing to climb on so he could get a better view of me as I went to get the mail. Neither of our other two dogs have ever even dreamed of doing something like this. Kevin and I wonder if it's the wolf in him. They do like to have the higher ground out in the wild and all...

We don't call him Chief Rascal for nothing! Life is splendidly full, wouldn't you agree??

p.s - I noticed something else a little off in this series of shots. Our sign says "German Shepherd on guard" but where is our fierce German Shepherd? All snug and warm snuggled by the fire with my little ones.

p.p.s - Kevin quickly took care of the wood after seeing this moment I captured.

See you here tomorrow for a fantastic giveaway!

I'll bet he was pretty proud of himself when he got up there!

I know, seriously!! Hee,hee. Such a silly boy :)
That's too funny. When I was a girl we had a German shepard/wolf mix. She disappeared one day while my little sister and I had left to visit family for the summer. When we returned, Mama had told us that our dog had run away months ago. My sister went outside and began to call her name. She came right out of that Washington rainforest to greet her!

Oh my goodness! How scary and touching allat the same time.I had to share your story with my husband.We fear our dogs chasing the coyotes in our woods and leaving us.
Well, how could you be on guard if low behind a gate?Only the highest point will give you the advantage and ability to do your job well! Wonderful pictures Nicole and dog <3

Ha! True...very true!!!
Your dog is gorgeous (as are the photographs). So funny though, I can totally picture him thinking he is pretty awesome up there on the big high pile.

Thank you! He totallyhad the look on his face like he was something great (which he is, at least in my opinion)!
I'd think twice about entering with Beowulf on guard!

Me too. Well that is unless you got close enough to realize he will run away. He was so abused by his previous owners that he is afraid of his own shadow :(
I love when you post about your dogs and cats. You have some really great companions and you treat them so well. They are very lucky to be part of your family! These pictures are so cute, Beowulf looks so proud. What a face! Of course your "fierce" german sheppard was curled up by the fire. Too funny.
Oh wow, he's a beautiful dog! Wolves are my favorite animals.

Thank you! They are my husband's favorite, too.
Best. Dog. Name. EVER.

Aww, thanks! His full name is Sir Beowulf the brave (for surviving the abusive situation he was inbefore we rescued him).
Beautiful dog. Looks like he could be a real stinker. Bet he likes to be aware of everything that is going on.
Oh my stars, this post had me laughing so much! What a charmer your Beowulf is.
