Some of you may remember these pix from the fall of 2006.
Wyatt is picking apples off the tree.
Dusty is hoping he will drop one. Wyatt was 5 years old then, he turned 10 in August this year.
He was successful. The apple tree has not produced much since that first year, so not a lot of jumping going on. Last year they ate a lot of pears & plums that fell on the ground.
This year the harvest has been very very late probably because our spring was so cold & wet. There isn't much fruit on the apple tree again. There is some on the pear tree but pretty small and not within reach. But the plum tree is pretty full and they are just starting to fall on the ground. However, not soon enough for Wyatt:
I am sitting on my deck & look out to see this. He has tried to jump and has reached a couple pears but the plums are too high. And perhaps at age 10, he can't jump quite as high.
No more in reach so trying to climb higher.
There is a strange orange growth on the plum tree that just appeared. It had one something like this a couple years ago too.
He jumped up into the tree probably a dozen times. Sometimes he missed and fell out.
He is getting tired. And discouraged; doesn't seem to be any more within reach. He ate 3 or 4 I think.
Cattle Dogs are far too smart for their own good.
Wyatt you never cease to surprise me.

The Anaya Five would like to invite Wyatt over for a party. Has he tried Asian Pears? :0). They would let him work their sheep in exchange for a few pears!
Those pictures are unbelievable! He looks like a wild animal out there. He is really smart, wow. And in great shape!
