[PHOTOSTORY 1: OUTDOORS] YARD DAY!

 By: Jayvon Adams 

Christopher Fearon is grabbing a pitchfork to start his yard work day. He and his brother Davin usually do weekend yard work, starting with the plants if their parents are out of town. 

Chris is checking to see if the new plant is still alive. The newer plants got eaten by animals in the past during the nighttime. 

Chris is balancing out the soil in the garden. They just started this part of their backyard garden 3 months ago and see progress. 

Chris is petting their house dog, Journey. Journey is their oldest out dog out of the six dogs they have. 

Davin is just now getting out the car, arriving home. He just got home from school but only spent a half day. 

Davin is checking to see if the house has any mail. Their dad always complains that the mailbox is full when he comes back home from out of town.  

Davin is opening up the shed to get dog food for the dogs. It's his job to feed the dogs while his brother cleans the kennel and works on plants. 

Davin is scooping up the dog food. He starts off by feeding his brothers dog, Blanco, before moving to the other dogs in the backyard. 

Davin is putting the food in Blanco's cage. Blanco usually eats about 1 time a day but Davin gives him snacks throughout the day if he's home. 

Blanco is already looking and smelling the food before it's placed down. He eats pretty fast, usually finishing a whole bowl in a minute or two. 

Davin is washing all of the dog food that he gave Blanco off of his hands. Blanco always  gets super excited to see him after a day of school.

Davin is trying to get Blanco's toy out of his mouth as they play. He always tries to play with him or show him some type of love after he comes from school. 

Davin and Chris are sitting discussing what's next for the yard. Chris always takes matters in his own hands to clean the kennel, as he says Davin is "lazy". 

Chris is walking down to the kennel. They have about 4 dogs that live in the backyard kennel alone. 

Blanco is seen trying to interact with the other dogs that live in the kennel. The other dogs are hunting dogs while Blanco is Chris' personal house dog. 

Chris is locking the trailer. He has seen that the trailer was left open, not knowing who or what could possibly go inside.

Chris is playing with the dog's through the cage. He tries to let them run around at least once a day to let them live a little. 

Chris is turning on the yard hose. This is the dogs way of getting something to drink, and Chris' way of spraying out anything dirty in the kennel. 

Chris is seen here sanitizing the kennel while it's open. The dogs use the bathroom all around the kennel so they find it important to sterilize it.

Some of dogs are trying to come out of the kennel again to follow Blanco. Every time they are out, they have so much fun playing that they never want to go back in.
