He certainly could not have had a better life than that he had with you. All dogs should be so lucky. It's so hard to lose a beloved companion.Woodswoman Extraordinairehttp://woodswomanextraordinaire.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-9874792901883166132014-01-31T07:11:45.950-05:002014-01-31T07:11:45.950-05:00Lovely!

I did find this video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVWLDQXFJSI), and he suggests that birds will use it. I'd be concerned that it really isn't predator-proof. But, chickadees are cavity nesters, so I suppose it is possible they might use one. If it was up to me, though, I'd offer bluebird nestboxes instead - they provide greater predator protection. Good luck!Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-81820453844423436552014-01-30T08:32:30.274-05:002014-01-30T08:32:30.274-05:00Hi Ellen, I know this question is off topic, but I...Hi Ellen, I know this question is off topic, but I wondered if you knew if the Wild Woolies bird houses will attract chickadees to nest? I received one for Christmas and want to know when it would be best to hang it IF chickadees even consider them for homes. I live on a busy corner in the suburbs, but 2 blocks away from a wooded area frequented by chickadees. Thanks so much.<br />Stephanie M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-5165657478961585172014-01-29T20:17:04.940-05:002014-01-29T20:17:04.940-05:00You could have used your snowshoes down here today...You could have used your snowshoes down here today.
