A Brittany Nest


A few weeks ago, while surveying our yard to see what new brave perennials were venturing up, The Fatherhead and I found a small bird nest which had blown out of a tree in a recent wind. No wonder it was not well anchored. It had no weight to it at all.

Every spring, when we groom the dogs; we put the clipped fur, along with yarn and raffia scraps out in a wire suet feeder for our avian friends to use for nesting materials. This greedy little pair took almost all of the fur for themselves and built a nest ENTIRELY of Brittany Spaniel fur.




















The inside was Tali's fluffy under coat. --UMMMM so soft and cozy!

But the outside could have only come from the ringlets of Cooper's white ruff. --VERY stylish!








What discriminating little birds!










We are sorry you beautiful little home blew away, but don't worry.....

THERE'S LOTS MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM!
