QuoteNow, the geese on the other hand.....

good watchdogs, right?

re: the ducks
Baby anythings are irresistible.
What is it about animals when they demonstrate trust and affection?  so endearing.  I find it very rewarding with rescued animals who are damaged from abuse or neglect (I'm talking all kinds of species, not just domestic).  What an honor to win their trust with just patience and gentleness, and a large smattering of understanding their behavior and signals :)

I love animals. And yes, to take a poor abused shaking animal and win it's trust is wonderful.

Per, geese as watchdogs, true. There is one endearing thing they do. They are my son's. The actually start squawking upon just hearing sons truck come up the road. Before they see his truck, they know it's his. Cute, huh?

Awwww!!!!  I want one! 
Srsly tho,  read info about their protective instincts and how beneficial to have for guarding + eggs + Christmas dinner  :P.  Not sure I could do the latter - probably buy a slaughtered one from my neighbor instead lol

lol  yes!   You're so sweet, CD.  I never took that as an insult, my friend.  I promise!  That happened on another Catholic forum too (the only ones I join :) ).
It's 100% my fault. I'm sure it's because it takes me a loooooong time to 'be myself'.  Until then, I tend toward very reserved/guarded, perhaps cold. I'm like that IRL too.  The curse of INTP / J's right?  But once I believe I can trust and let my guard down, I tend to be obnoxiously demonstrable.
My dear spouse loves it though - says he has the best of both worlds because I think like a man.  Not sure if that's a compliment  :-\ ,  but we are who we are, and there's somebody for everybody!
Like Bernadette and Akavit!  I'm still tickled about this!

Coffee's on.  Regular drip pot.  French press broke  :(.  But, it's still good.

I may have acquired ,ahem, something to add to the coffee if anyone needs.

I could probably find some Jack Daniels.  Or some Kahlua

Good morning everyone!  I wonder what odd piece of life God will send us today.  I had a dream that I was sitting in a cemetery looking at the back of a tapestry that had been put up on the side of a mausoleum.  The only part left to be done was a piece in the upper left side.  It looked very intricate but I couldn't identify a pattern, which was very irritating.  That, and I couldn't figure out who's it was.  There weren't any other one's around and I kept thinking, "If only I had another one to compare it to, I'm sure I could figure this out!"  Then I realized that I couldn't even figure out what kind of material it was made from, let alone tie it to a specific person.  I heard a noise over my shoulder and thought maybe it was the owner of the tapestry and they could explain it to me.  I got really excited and started to turn around, and WOKE UP!!  Waaaaahhhhh!!!  I'm now thinking that that was the tapestry of my life and I can't remember what it looked like.  Maybe if I shut my eyes again it will come back to me...  Nope.  *sigh 

Jack Daniels you say, MLG?

Ok. So. My dog is nuts. Yes he is Per, nuts I tell ya. He has to stay on a chain so he doesn't go visit the neighbors dog and poop in their yard. Mating season has the two dogs howling, yes howling, not barking. Crying like babies. Now my dog has never howled while outside. Until this morning. Ok. He howls in the house but is accompaniment to the music played here. He stretches his neck up and makes the cutest O mouth and sings and sings. But that is cute. On the chain he is like a barking junkyard dog. No offense to all you junkyard dogs.

Dymph, what a dream! Minever are not nearly so meaning ful. I am usually missing a critical part of my wardrobe, or looking for my purse, or I have trouble finding my way out of a big building. Yours could have meaning. You wake up wanting more...I wake up embarassed.

Hi! Dymph. Hey, did everyone before me call you dymph? In my family of 8 kids, everyone had a nicname.

Ha!  I have plenty of the embarrassing ones, I just don't tell anybody about them.   ;)   :)  One of the weird things about this dream (one of many!) was that I didn't think about it being of someone's life.  I just kept wondering who it literally belonged to.  But when I woke up, I knew exactly what I was looking at.  Weird.

No, no one ever called me Dymph before you.  I like it though.  It's much easier to say than Dymphna and you'll still get my attention, so it's a win-win!   8)
