Samson Says, "Not on My Watch, Bird Face!"

January has been absolutely beautiful out here on the Chilliwack River! There has been much bald eagle activity for last several weeks, as they rest in the treetops, bask in the sunshine, and feed on the shores of the river. 

They may be an apex predator, but Samson will not stand for them coming too close to his yard. The other morning, as a massive eagle was gliding down to the bank, Samson caught wind of it, chased it along the fence and scared it off with his ferocious barking. He is thirteen pounds of pure fury! Pretty brave for a little man who looks like a teddy bear and needs a sweater to keep warm from October to June. 

Alas, even the most ferocious of pups, in the thickest of sweaters, must come in from the cold at some point, and we were able to capture this pic of the magnificent bird just outside the fence.
