Joe/Joanne

The dogs have had a different brand of food than normal last night and so the kitchen looked as though an elephant had been given an overdose of soapy enema this morning....hey bloody ho!
Luckily I was too tired to weep
So I just cleaned it up in front of four pairs of guilty eyes and took the culprits out for their dawn walk. I am too old for incontinence in the early morning
Sundays are a treat for me...I walk the dogs, sort the animals out, make Chris his breakfast ( In bed good readers!!!!) and then I sneak back under the duvet for a snooze.....
However before I disappear...I will just pass on that Jo, my second goose is  not a gander as I once hoped..... This morning Joanne, tottered out of her house....took a huge drink and  ambled off to sit herself in a large slightly unkempt nest by the pond.....
She is a woman!

  3. I have seen a few of those kitchen floors in my time - the flip side of keeping dogs!

    I have also made a few mistakes with sexing fowl - luckily hens and cockerels are easy to tell apart. Somebody somewhere will have a gander they want to get rid of - but put your armour on when you go to feed it!

    Have a nice snooze. If you fancy a holiday - I would love breakfast in bed - the farmer would think that was the height of decadence unless I was a death's door.

  4. Just like being at work then John. S**t shovelling!
    Glad to hear it's a girl. Just been given my mother's day card from my eldest daughter (21) bless her before she goes to work till 6 to make all the other mum's days nice by ensuring they have a lovely lunch out with their families. Steak and Stilton pie for us when she gets back

  5. Now that is not something to welcome a Sunday morning with, appears as if the cast iron stomach is still intact then!
    Regards,

  7. How fitting that 'Joanne' waited to give you the announcement of her gender on Mother's Day! :-)

    I think she'll always be 'Jo' to her friends!!

  8. By the way John, since it's Mother's Day in England today, (at least I think it is) YOU should have breakfast in bed! :-)))

  10. Well, maybe Joanne can hatch you out a Jo ...
    Hey, and look on the bright side ... at least you didn't slip and fall in it.
    Have a great week!

  11. My lady says that the plus side of that kitchen would be that you didn't step in it in the dark. Ew.

  12. Not a pleasant way to start the day. But the guilty eyes probably softened the blow...right? I agree that "Jo" could continue to be her nickname.

  13. Can't imagine that! Don't want to either!

  14. The different dog food mess.... was the store out of their normal stuff? SIGH......................!

  15. Aw bless 'em, it wasn't their fault the food was changed. What was it to have such a dramatic effect on all of them?

  16. Uggg, new food and critters, always a messy experience. Jo is a very pretty girl.

  18. I know how it feels to find surprises in the morning, though the cats never look guilty and prefer the living room carpet to the kitchen floor. Just had the carpet cleaned yesterday (the sick cat has passed) and am hoping I can enjoy it that way for a while.

    I don't understand how dogs can eat the assorted disgusting goodies they find outside, but nice, clean new food upsets them.

  19. John I can understand what you mean about getting up to dog mess early in the morning. My old girl has become quite incontinent and if I don't get up in the middle of the night to take her out for a pee, I am sure to wake up to a big, stinky pee puddle all over my kit hen floor a rugs. This morning was no exception. I do get tired of waking up to it and we've tried l kinds of things to prevent it (including medication) but to no avail. Me thinks it is time to think about humane euthanization but I guess I'm selfish still because I just can seem to make that decision yet.

    Way to go Joanne...or does this mean since she's not a Joe then there will be no little Joe's or Joanne's? It's tricky business changing dog food...have to mix in some of the old for several days...I've always wondered why, considering some of the things dogs will eat, they get diarrhea when eating a different dog food! Interesting but not first thing in the morning!

    wont do that again!

  23. I guess it could have been worse. You could have walked in the kitchen floor explosions, slipped, and fell on your arse in it!

    Just trying to lighten things up!

    What a grand person you are giving Chris brekkies in bed.... do you travel? :0)

  24. Beautiful goose! Great picture. When I lived on my dad's farm, he had geese for many years. Sometimes they served as "watch dogs". :)
