Wordless Wednesday : Sophie Can't Play Today

By
Real Estate Agent with The Overton Group, LLC Pitt & Carteret County NC 213723 Broker

Sophie has to stay inside today....

Sophie is our Rescue Bassador ( Bassett/ Labrador Retr ) and she enjoys sniffing and scavenger hunting. Often she comes out of the bushes with golf balls ( we live in a par 5) and often she she eats things she shouldnt

( like dead fish from our pond or turtle and duck poo )  .. 

Today she tried to eat this thing...and I had to retrieve it from her mouth ! 

 

sophie  

 Its a big Cicada !!!

Yes, I know, people eat these things..and  find them to be a tasty delicacy...

I just couldn't bare to watch it die or see her eat it....sorry ! 

I did know last night by the singing coming from my trees that we had some in our yard... today was proof they are here for the summer !

 Sophie ... poor girl...mommy is sorry !

I am sure tomorrow will be a new adventure !! 


 

Eastern NC fun fact ! 

As a local realtor, I enjoy telling stories and sharing experiences relative to the area..

Hope this put a smile on your face today.

If you are thinking about buying or selling in ENC I would love to her from you!

When I was growing up, we had several outside cats who thought cicadas were delicious.  I don't remember the dogs eating them, but I suspect they did.

Pat McCormick funny ! I hear they are tasty but the crunch (like Sharon Parisi mentioned ) was what I was avoiding !  She is fast !

Michele, I think she thought something crunchy on the outside but juicy on the inside was just what she needed!  :-)

The Cicada are here for summer, for sure - and letting us know it!  They seem so much louder this year than most but, perhaps it's because it's been so quiet up until now without them!  My cat loves to 'play' with them - she never eats them, just watches them flap around when they wind up on their backs!  It's really quite entertaining!  ;-)

Sophie was just trying to provide material for a couple of blogs. 

Adventures are more fun than staying in the house.

She is adorable - I love her feet!!!    My old cat used to bring in snakes and frogs and put them in my bed -  I think I would prefer the bugs

How sweet and I LOVE that she is a rescue.  We just lost ours a few weeks ago.  I know we'll rescue another some day but not for awhile.  The house feels so empty!

Susan Emo You will know when you are ready.... we got her after putting one of our other rescues down..it was very tough but our bulldog was sad really needed a new companion...now they are two peas in a pod !

That was the reason we got her too.  Our other Aussie needed a buddy.  We lost her first and then our rescue Aussie just a couple of months later.
