Your dog looks like she has bubble gum on her face!
Good looking dog. Dang, I hope you are indeed careful with those critters.
We had one in Lakeland, where Eddie lives, get loose and it killed a little girl who lived next door. They are neat, and all, and I do believe from the pictures, you are not like some people who don't take the proper care of, and precautions with them. I used to raise big scorpions, no not the African ones with huge pincers, just good ol South Florida black ones that reached about four to six inches long. Nasty little critters, neat, but at the time my Buddy I was sharing the apt with, was afraid they would get out of the aquarium, so I got rid of them. I was a Dental lab tech at the time, so another Friend of mine put some poison that I can't remember the name of now, on some plaster of Paris, and let it soak in, in a glass jar, and then I put the scorpion in and it went pretty quickly, and then, I cast it in silver. Don't know, now what I ever did with it. Had one I put in some acrylic. Scorpions are like Lawyers, they serve a purpose, but you don't get attatched to them.....
Can I get away with that? So you are like my place in Montana, we don't get a whole lot of snow, but an hour away, or up in the mountains, they do. Give McKenzie a hug for me, and be safe out there in PD land, and keep your eyes peeled for the road kills, when it starts to thaw out, out there. You have some beautiful patterns to choose from.
Do those cacti ever freeze? Or do you ever get a real hard freeze come through? We get an occasional hard freeze where I am going to live in Montana. -8 this year. About three hours from me there is a place called Choteau, that gets lots of nasty weather, and they had 105 mph winds, come through, and then it dropped down to minus 20 something. It is a very beautiful area, but I am glad that I don't have my house there! Looks like you have plenty of room to practice your archery. Even firearm shooting. Take care, and keep the pictures coming.
