"Hi Christine and Louise,
Here are a couple of pictures of Mattie and Sheila. I took them this morning during one of their few quiet spells. That doesn't happen often. They get along just great and their personalities are so different. Mattie reminds me of my sister when she was young. Seems she was always on a sugar high and on the run constantly. Sheila on the other hand is much calmer, but a little rascal in her own right. She went hunting the other day, and she was so proud of herself when she brought two mice (dead) into the house. Then she wanted to keep them so they ended up under the sofa before we could catch her. They are so much fun and we can't tell you how much we enjoy them. They are never far from me when I am in the garden, and Mattie has a special like for our chickens. When we feed and gather the eggs, she goes right into the pens with us and the chickens don't mind one bit. Mattie doesn't really bother them, a couple of sniffs, then she wants to steal their feed. I haven't caught Mattie with 'game' in her mouth yet, but she sniffs out all the places where rabitts and deer have gone through.
I hope you all have a happy thanksgiving and other holidays.
Dale Dutt"
