Dorothy pretending to be invisible in the garden
Bulldogs are like toddlers
They run against walls without braking
And have no off button!
I love them dearly , but they can drive a girl to total distraction!!!!
Yesterday afternoon the devil caught Winifred in youthfull mode .....
She and Dorothy became quite giddy with themselves after being given a handful of cocktail
sausages each as a treat and both decided to give Albert a run for his money as he ambled rather suavely through the cottage for a sleep after a morning slaughtering baby rabbits on the field .
The resulting chase had bulldogs bouncing off every wall and it was only after a deafening crash when things went incredibly quiet and I ran in with eyes like ping pong balls !!!
The bulldogs had smashed the tv and they both knew they were in trouble
I had ear marked my overtime of this week to play for Winnie's vet bills
And instantly I realised I now had to use it to pay for a new 15 inch tv.
So when I walked in both Dorothy and Winnie ran for the kitchen reading chair where they were banished to for the rest of the evening!!!
And there they stayed, grunting and groaning their apologies
I may forgive them fairly soon
But it won't hurt leaving absolution for a few more hours
Keep the bitches on their toes
LOL. Like you say … they'll be the death of you.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone's safe and staying safe. I just read that the virus is mutating and getting much more dangerous. I don't want to alarm anyone but it's time to get right with God, cause this is getting downright scary! Stay home and stay safe, guys!

DeleteA bot who is not selling hate or self marketing is a pleasant change though.
DeleteThankyou-I Am alert at All times x
DeleteOh no! Dad's coming!!!
ReplyDeleteHa, the girls would say Albert did it!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, blame it on Albert. Hahaha, this was great, John.
ReplyDeleteOh no - not good at all. We need our pastimes during this enforced home time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the saying should be "like a bullDOG in a china shop" instead of the original version!
P. S. Dorothy IS a flower, though not a delicate one :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps you need a TV cabinet that has doors to close when the TV is not in use. Maybe (just maybe) that would thwart a repeat of this accident during future bulldog frolics? Sorry for the added expense.
ReplyDeleteDorothy does look demure in her pre-chaos garden pose.
Hugs!
They need to know they're being punished. Teach them to chew the electricity bill instead.
ReplyDeleteThat sudden silence is an ominous warning isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMaybe ask in the village appgroup if someone has a spare TV? People often keep their old one when they buy a new bigger one
ReplyDeleteFab idea! I have a spare one for that reason. Shame I'm in Scotland or you could totally have it John!
DeleteOh my, the girls really did it this time!
ReplyDeleteTo bad about the TV John I gather Mary and Albert weren't involved, I can just imagine that they won you over with their woeful look as bulldogs tend to do.
ReplyDeleteOhhh oh. What naughty girls. You treat yourself to a nice tv.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a GoFundMe? I'm sure all of your readers would chip in for a new tele.
Sorry I did laugh out loud at the sudden silence!! Bad dogs although I know they'll be forgiven quickly :-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, did make me laugh. Should be able to claim it on house contents insurance?
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Trying not to laugh, but the ominous silence had me sniggering. It reminds me of when my kids were little, if you could hear them it was good. If there was silence they were plotting! Your flowers are lovely,especially the sweet furry one x
ReplyDeleteThat sudden silence is always worrying with dogs or kids. Hope you can get a new one soon, lockdown without a TV would be dreadful. Like someone else suggested try a shout-out in the village to see if anyone has an old TV you could borrow.
ReplyDeleteYou have the patience of Job with those dogs and incredible tolerance as I've read of their many antics. Sorry about your TV and the unexpected, likely unwanted, expense purchasing a new one. But, what's a dog lover to do -- I know.
ReplyDeleteOops.....
ReplyDeleteLucy chews everything in sight. I'm not sure what I'd prefer.
ReplyDeleteCan't live with em, can't live without em
You have to have a short memory sometimes!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....Perhaps a wall mounted TV that can be disguised as a picture? 😉
ReplyDeleteYou are too soft on these girls. Don't leave them in where they can do damage like that. (Spoken as an ex teacher in a very tough school).
ReplyDeleteWhat a time to break the TV.
ReplyDeleteAwww-dorable! 💜🤎💜🤎
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they covered for Albert. So sweet. You should give them each another treat.
ReplyDeleteHa! I have a dog that watches TV. She goes bonkers during the costume dramas when there are sheep or cows in the backgrounds, and Sykes in Barnaby drives her crazy! She has killed FOUR tvs since mid-December. I don't buy expensive or large tvs, and I finally suspended the one that I have now from the ceiling. Large eye-bolts and picture wire and it's a good 18" higher than it was.
ReplyDeleteShe's lucky she's still alive.........
A lovely crazy mad-cap household, bet you wouldn’t have it any other way?
ReplyDeleteLX
Poor babies...they didn't mean to.
ReplyDeleteOh dear,
ReplyDeleteBloody dogs.
ReplyDeletenow might not be a bad time to go without a tv. no news could be a good thing since there's no good news out there. glad the pups weren't hurt.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of when my boys were young and they would suddenly go quiet after a crash somewhere in the house. Would call out, "What did you do?" (in my mother voice). The high-pitched reply would sound like a four-syllable no-th-in-ggg. You knew whatever it was, it wouldn't be good. But they survived. And so did I.
ReplyDeleteI can totally empathize ...it's always a bad sign when you hear a lot of grab-assing and then complte silence.... the three hounds here get to moving very fast upstairs with guilt all over their mugs when they know something has gone wrong...
ReplyDeleteCan you mount a new TV on the wall to avoid it happening again?
ReplyDeleteMy dogs haven't smashed a tv yet but lots of other damage.Table legs,skirting board,door frames,chewed original 1920 doors,large chunk of car upholstery as soon as I popped him in the back seat of the car rather than usual dog cage,car safety belt which was connected to his doggy safety harness which was expensive to replace for mot,a £50 cushion.I love my dogs with all my heart but they can at times be wild.I think they are wolves and are just behaving as they are born to be and we can just hope to share our lives with each other respectably x
ReplyDeleteOh, man! That is not a small expense! Fortunately my dog hasn't done anything comparable -- but then, she's just one and she can't very well chase herself.
