My little pippie pie has a birthday in May, around the twenty something date.

How time scampers along, just like this girl..

Sitting in much the same spot as the previous post, which was taken back in Spring, just to show how much things brown off in Autumn and Winter, our dry season.

Yes, the eyes should have the main focus, not the nose, but I had to be quick.

The grandest of grand dogs.

Pip is 4 soon. He is a Chihuahua x Pug. My fur baby.

Le pipit rousseline chemine et court sur le sol à grande vitesse. S'il est inquiet, il lève et abaisse la queue nerveusement.

Il se pose très souvent à découvert. On peut l'observer en groupes de 3 à 5 pendant l'automne. C'est habituellement un solitaire, et en dehors de la période de reproduction, le couple est rarement proche. C'est un migrateur.

Le pipit rousseline habite les zones buissonneuses, les terrains vagues, les prairies sèches, les terres cultivées, les dunes sablonneuses, les rives sableuses des cours d'eau, les plateaux semi-arides, les versants de montagne, les terrains en friche, les landes de bruyère.

Très proche parent des Pipit maritime et farlousane, ces trois espèces étaient encore récemment considérées comme une seule et même espèce.

En hiver, le Pipit spioncelle a le dessus uniformément brun et le dessous toujours blanc avec des marques noires sur les flancs et la poitrine. Sa gorge est blanche. Ses sourcils blanchâtres et ses pattes noires permettent son identification. Il ressemble au Pipit farlouse, mais s'en distingue par ses pattes noires et son plumage plus sombre. Il se différencie du Pipit maritime par ses rectrices externes blanches et non grises.

Dès le mois de mars, il commence à arborer son plumage nuptial caractéristique. En été, le Pipit spioncelle diffère des autres pipits par le dessus gris-brun et le dessous rosé clair à peu près sans taches. Il porte seulement des rayures sur les flancs. Sa tête et sa nuque gris cendré contrastent avec son dos brun. Il présente un net sourcil blanc, ainsi que des barres alaires blanchâtres.

En été le Pipit spioncelle se rencontre en montagne dans les alpages, au-dessus de la limite supérieure des arbres, jusque vers 2500-2700 mètres dans les Alpes. Il hiverne dans les terrains découverts à une altitude inférieure. On le rencontre alors dans les basses terres près des fleuves, rivières, ruisseaux, lacs, marais, étangs et prairies inondées, riches en végétation.

Pip can do a few tricks now.

I paid for a Chihuahua and got a Chihuahua cross.

Not what I wanted but I love him too much to find him another home.

You can see the tattoo in his ear in the larger size.

That is proof he had been de-sexed.

I have been a bit sick, better now and am slowly getting around to everyone, I enjoy all the wonderful photos you have : ))

...pipe alla rinfusa e piuma: "Il ne pas une pipe", certo certo, solo l'immagine di molte :))

“I found one!”

Pip: "After our agreement yesterday…

How did I let this happen !?!???"

===================================

It was Nov 1st in Oz today, but still seeing all these inventive Happy Halloween pics on Fl., felt inspired to do a funny photo session with the girls for it.

At first, I had in mind to put a tiny ornamental pumpkin on Pippi's head and offer a treat to get a big-eyed face.

Went to the fruit/vege barn and found hardly any punkies at all, let alone the mini-ornamental ones I wanted.

Then tried the cheap'n nasty shops for some witchy dress up stuff.

Nothing. Sold out ..

So after Pips' previous pic when I'd decided she earned a break from wearing silly stuff … will she ever trust me again on my agreements …?

In conclusion, I have to say, my timing is way off.

Even as late as yesterday, I should've come up with this idea for the 12MonthsforDogs group October challenge for 'Hats & Things'…

I really got them the wrong way 'round this time.

The pic I did post, would've been good for this week's 52WeeksforDogs challenge on 'Depth'..

* Big Sigh*…

A bit late, but anyway …. Happy Halloween !

( Looks better in large ..)

Sydney graffiti from decades ago.

Was in bright sun, so I can't see her eyes in this one but I still liked it.

Anyhoo, I'm just posting a couple tonight as I haven't been on for a few days.

If I'm behind in visits or returning visits to you, I'm sorry.

I'm on a self-retrieval mission lately.

I will catch up, soon as.

Fish dinner tonight - Enjoy your weekend :)

Busker, history buff and all round good bloke.

Myself and Pip decided to go and sit in the shade in the garden as the sun has appeared again! She insisted on taking her bear bag with her though.

We faced many bees, ants and mating dragonflies for these pictures!
