Find the kitty!

OK, I sorta tricked you. Claus is not in this picture. Although, there is a good-looking leaf pile replica that some of you found right off. Good eyes, my friends! 🙂

This morning I was looking into the back forty when I noticed Claus was up on the chicken’s run. You may or may not recall that he has a bum knee, so this was unusual. Running (well, OK limping actually 😉 ) to go get my camera and take a picture of this amazing kitty feat for Bob, I got back and he was gone…

or was he?

Funny Boy! If you can’t find him in this picture then click to enlarge it.

NOTE: Sorry for the grainy shots, but they were taken through the dining room window.

Have a Blessed weekend!

Saturday Snaps: georgie plays

Georgie, is the type of goose that gives all geese a bad name. He hisses, pulls out chicken’s feathers, pinches the dogs, and me! It is unfortunate that he has such an ill temper, because on days like this, he does make me laugh with his playfulness.

The gate to the chicken’s run lets chickens in and keeps Georgie out! The item he is playing with is the scoop I use to dispense the scratch grains… Georgie loves chicken scratch. 😉

Have a lovely day!

An Easter Surprise!

April 3, 2013April 4, 201326 Comments

Bob’s sister Kathee and her husband John have started a tradition of sending us See’s Chocolates, from California. It is a much appreciated and anticipated event at Easter time!

This year we opened the box to find that it had apparently been too closely guarded by a fire-breathing dragon! It was melted, bubbled, and then re-cooled into a congealed and unappetizing mass. (Don’t worry Kathee and John! I called and See’s replaced it with BRAND NEW and sent it OVERNIGHT to us!!!)

😀 😀 😀

So, I picked through the carnage of the first order and placed the least damaged on the dining room table. Hey, we don’t waste minimally damaged See’s candy in this house! It is simply too delicious!

Later that evening we were preparing for bed and I realized something was amiss…

“Hey! What happened to those two chocolate eggs and the bag of jelly beans?”

BAD DOG TUCKER! VERY BAD DOG!!!

Yes, he got sick!

Bloated, bad gas, and threw up.

SICK!

Did he learn his lesson?

Unfortunately, NO.

😦

He has done it before and will likely do it again, but in my own defense, I honestly did not expect the little circus dog to get up onto the dining room table. Next time?

TOP SHELF IN THE PANTRY!
