Speaking of prison and Margaret in the same sentence..I told mom it is really handy that we live right across the highway from the jail here in our town, and the OLDEST courthouse in IOWA, and the attorney's office where my mom works. It seems tho the jail is having a bit of a problem with the buzzard population here in town. See right in the middle of the exercise yard is a huge cell phone tower. (We have often wondered about the climbing OUT aspect of the whole thing??) anyway all the local buzzards...as in birds...love to sit on the tower day and night. At first Mom was worried about this cos she was afreard when we were out running around in Alcatraz they might swope down and get us. Well, I told Mom not to worry cos they don't like anything with a heartbeat, and they NEVER leave the tower anyway UNTIL the sheriff's office decided they were tired of the little "deposits" as in poop they were leaving on the ground and cars in the parking lots. So the sheriff's office has started shooting firecrackers off every morning bright and early to scare them away!! Notice Mom wrote "bright and early". Since July 5th twice a day BANG BANG BANG.....is it working....yes. My theory is as soon as those old buzzards understand the illegal fireworks that was confiscated on July 4th are all gone, they will land right back on their tower. After all they have been there for 87 hundred years!!
YAY AYAYYAYAYAY MY BFF PUDDLES IS BACK...I HAVE MISSED YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK...I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING MY INTERPRETATION OF YOU EVERYDAY PUDDLES AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO WELL AT IT THAT MOM SIGNED ME UP FOR OBEDIENCE CLASSES ....THEY START IN TWO WEEKS.
We have those hanging around here too. Mostly by the lakes waiting for dead fish to wash up on the short. They stink!
ReplyDeleteHap-Pee WindsDay!
BANG BANG every morning at 5am?!? Ughghgh. Hope you can go back to sleep....or get fed breakfast!
ReplyDeleteWe think they will be back too. Once a location is imprinted (such as the swallows and our front porch) it seems the bird brains NEVER forget. And about Margaret, maybe Puddles can tell her she is too young to follow her path?

I think your momma should complain! Aren't there noise ordinances about doing that sort of thing so early??
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing enough to read everything after the first paragraph so I'll return later. Stella, you are the best!

Ok, so the buzzards are kind of scary. My assistant is super paranoid about big birds grabbing me. When we are up in northern Wisconsin (lots of eagles) she carries me around the whole time.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Laughing here, too.... "speaking of Margaret and prison in the same sentence"... my gosh... hope those buzzards don't come to Alcatraz!
ReplyDeleteGUUUUUUUUUESS WHOOOOOOOOO??????? Yep, it's ME!!!!! I is back and holy cows did I miss ya'll!
ReplyDeleteBuzzards are big and skeerey and ugly! Unfortunately we is all awake at dat time so it wouldn't bother me. What DOES bother is da fact I knoew somebuddy taked my fireworks...now I knows where they is.
Margaret, girl I has no idea what be up with hoomans and dis whole obedience thing. Why wouldn't your mom wanna a Puddles II????? I think I needs to talk to her.
Puddles
We would NOT like that sound of the bang-bang's early in the morning or any time! They do that too across the street from our house in FL. They try to keep the birds away from the blueberry patch. We don't know if it works, butt it sure is annoying!

We would hate to have fire crackers every morning. You are very brave. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteWell funny and we agree as soon as they stop like a bad penny they will be back. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

FIRECRACKERS AT 5AM ... that is crazy! Our neighbors are still shooting off bottle rockets and firecrackers every night since before the 4th. We're hoping they will stop soon. We're afraid to go outside and potty when it gets dark ...
