Baby Doves

Last Friday we were cutting down two of our pine trees so that we can start working on extending our garage. Well while the guys were cutting the trees down on of them held a nest with two baby doves. Jeff had gloves on so he put them by the fence and the mom stayed around for the rest of the day.

Later in the evening we were out on the backyard and our dear charlie, our chocolate lab, discovered them. One of the poor little doves had wandered a little bit and caught Charlie's eye. Long story story I was screaming at the dog because I was afraid that he was going to try and eat it and we ended up putting them in the garden that is fenced in.

For the past week I have been checking on them 2-3 times a day to make sure that their mom is still around and that they are growing. Last night I went to go out to the garage to get my bike and there they were on the fence. MY BABIES FLEW!!! I was so excited.

Anyways now that you all think I am crazy I better go. It has been really neat watching them grow so much everyday.
