No threat

We are so fortunate to have several herds visit us each late afternoon for an early supper. They've been coming for years and we've been able to identify some of our guests from previous years.
Thinking that the addition of Pixie this year might just be a detour-ant they have decided to weigh the odds and come in anyway. Pixie sits atop the top step and just watches them. If she ever had in thoughts about barking they dissipated quickly. They are a little intimidating to a 12 pound Bichon.
