Every year in August, there is a hot air balloon festival not far from our house. During the weekend of the festival, balloons lift off each morning and evening. This means we usually have a fantastic view of several balloons over the field behind our house. One of these years, we're actually going to take a balloon ride ourselves, but so far we just enjoy the scenic view from our backyard. Puddin, however, did not think they were such a lovely sight. On Friday evening I let the dogs out and there were some balloons. Puddin immediately went into alert mode, chasing and barking at the balloons! Then she would come back and rest for a while before repeating the whole chase scene. She was gorgeous as she watched the balloons and listened intently to every little sound. She was fascinated by them! It's funny how she noticed the balloons right away and knew they didn't belong!

They were probably scared the balloons were gonna land in the yard, and giving them fair warning. Stella has a size and speed limit for stuff in the sky at which she will bark. Planes are too fast, and little birds are too small. But hovering hawks and vultures are fair game. I think a hot air balloon would be perfectly in the middle.
What gorgeous photos of them. I really love the first one where they both look so happy with big grins on their faces :)
I don't think my guys have ever seen a hot air balloon. We live opposite a country airfield and low flying planes and helicopters don't worry them, thank goodness!
