Lying in Wait

Rhieon spotted a bug on the wall (one of those darn beetles that occasionally appear during cold weather). She lay in wait, hoping it would make a move. Of some kind.

Steady, steady...

I can keep my eye on it from this lower position.

That is great...we have those smelly things too!
Amy C. Dec 9, 2008, 9:39am UTC
LOL too cute!
She is so cute waiting like that!
Marianne M. Dec 9, 2008, 10:04am UTC
Wonderful shots, Shan ... so cute!

But did Rhieon ever get the prize????
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Dec 9, 2008, 10:09am UTC
No prize. She fell asleep :0{

Thanks everyone! I couldn't believe how intense she was.
Elizabeth H. Dec 9, 2008, 10:23am UTC
Great shots. My dog likes to chase spiders. I usually step on them first.
Mel B. Dec 9, 2008, 11:14am UTC
LOL - My dog is a weirdo, if it's in the house he won't chase after it, but anything that moves in the great outdoors is fair game. (Of course he is on the leash so erm.. I go flying with him.)

Great pics and I am sorry for him he didn't catch them. Scotty lays on the couch like that too, and since my mom has little hot dog's that stand on the back of the couch, Scotty keeps doing that as well.. Like he is king of the mountain.. lol.. Our babies.. :) What would we do without them?

Will you feed that poor baby so she doesn't have to eat bugs. Do you need us to send you some Kibbles for Kristmas?
Kelly Kay Dec 9, 2008, 11:23am UTC
So cute!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Dec 9, 2008, 11:33am UTC
I would probably want to crawl in a hole and die if I didn't have mine, Mel.

Rob! Bugs are good for them! PURE PACKETS O PROTEIN!

Thanks everyone!
Bob B. Dec 9, 2008, 11:40am UTC
That's cute, Shannon! Merry Christmas!
David W. Dec 9, 2008, 12:01pm UTC
A naturaly gifted stalker. Cute captures.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Dec 9, 2008, 12:03pm UTC
Thanks, Bob!

I love how you put that, David ;)
Marianne R. Dec 9, 2008, 12:03pm UTC
lol how cute... till a big paw goes through the drywall ;-) heh heh
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Dec 9, 2008, 12:04pm UTC
We've had tables knocked into the walls that had to be patched. Par for the course, I guess.
Denise B. Dec 9, 2008, 12:54pm UTC
lol - cute dog!!
Too cute, Shannon.
Katrina Hall Dec 9, 2008, 3:24pm UTC
How adorable, Shannon! My cat used to do that, too - until she got old and very, very lazy.
Sarah (I want points) Dec 9, 2008, 3:36pm UTC
She is just adorable! I love when pets do that!
Larry H. Dec 9, 2008, 5:26pm UTC
CATS HERE CHASE THE BUGS AROUND HERE.
Carol B Dec 9, 2008, 7:20pm UTC
LOL, I thought she was praying.
ʚϊɞ Kim K. Dec 9, 2008, 9:02pm UTC
How cute! Intense for sure. Poor baby...all that and fell asleep. ;) Those pics are too cute. :)
→ Victoria ← Dec 11, 2008, 9:46am UTC
LOL That's great!!

My cats could never sit still that long to watch a bug. They'd be pouncing before they even had a good chance to get it.
DJ B. Dec 12, 2008, 9:20pm UTC
She's just too cute! :o)
Robin G. Dec 14, 2008, 8:32pm UTC
Rob--can't you tell by the fat rolls that she DOES in fact eat?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Dec 15, 2008, 8:26am UTC
Yup, she's my lean, mean fighting machine!
Lou Anne L. Dec 15, 2008, 10:09pm UTC
Now I know this pup is doing more than stalking a bug...she looks like a child who is making up this huge imaginairy story in the first pic and then slowly falls asleep in her soup....
how cute!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Dec 16, 2008, 9:59am UTC
OMG, Lou, I love it! In the first one she's telling how BIG that dreaded feral cat was that came into the yard!

LOL!
donna h. Dec 16, 2008, 7:45pm UTC
Baxter does this
Beth J. Dec 28, 2008, 10:22pm UTC
Those are some great shots.
DJ B. Aug 14, 2009, 10:12pm UTC
Passing through again....
and this is the most adorable thing I've seen all day---other than Mike's new rescue pup. ;o)
