Latest house guest!

Good Morning! In the past few years my husbands son, Joey comes to stay with us in the summer while he teaches summer school at Cal State Fullerton. This year we have an additional guest ... yep, meet Stinky. How he got this nick name I'll leave up to your imagination!
He reminds me of a Mule Deer! Very long legs and tall ears. He is in the back ivy on a hot pursuit of lizards. He stands very still and stays focused without moving - like a cat! I needed him to catch those pesky mice a month ago. 
Here he is circling the swimming pool several times. His goal??? A drink if water. He has a fresh bowl of water but this looks like so much more interesting. What does he finally do? He goes to the steps and walks into the pool for drinks of water! I was rolling with laughter. 
Why did Mr. Stinky come this year? Very sadly he is unwell. He has a form of cancer and according to the vet he has a few months left and is on medications to ease the pain. The way he trots around the yard you would never guess he has an illness. 
Betsy ... she's not quite sure what this is. As with him, Stinky is a racing dog and he thinks Betsy is the prey! Oh lord, it's been interesting at our house! Pray for Stinky easy passing as pain free as possible.
