By Daris Howard | Special to The PREVIEWBob, the dog, had really become part of the family, saving 5-year-old Joyce from the bull and showing that he could bring the cows from the pasture for milking, even closing and latching the gate. Sometimes the family members wondered how he had learned to do everything he did. Then, one day, they got an inkling. Joyce was brushing Bob after a bath. The brushing he liked; the bath not so much.

We don’t get to see wood ducks often here, but what a treat when we do. When one spent a few days recently on the river in town, gorgeous, beautiful, incredible and awesome were adjectives used on ebird reports to describe it. This male on the river treated us to close views when he hung out near the shoreline.
