Monday Mischief


Mischief Monday started at 4:45 a.m. 
when Dui decided it was time to play.

SHE opened the sliding door and
'me first' Roxy charged out knocking the screen door off its track.

We went back to bed for an hour.  SHE wasn't interested in playing.

 Please excuse the absence of photos for this next bit.

As we were getting ready to go to the river, 
SHE noticed that Dui had a baby bird!
He was racing around with it cheeping and flapping in his mouth.
The mother bird was dive bombing Dui and
SHE was chasing him.
Dui released the baby to chase the mother, and SHE tried to pick up the baby,
who fluttered into the bushes.

He was left there in hopes that the mother could get him out of the backyard
 while we were at the river.

We had to be indoor dogs on our return.

Next, we had a STORM, with thunder, lightning and hail!
Hailstones

SHE took a photo of our flooded patio.
 When SHE looked again.  There was that baby bird,
Sitting in the water!
SHE took the photo and turned to put the phone down to put the baby somewhere dry, only to find he was gone!
Next, Dui went out and chucked up a green plastic bag.
We don't know where he got that!
Roxy and Dui are currently outdoors, the sun is shining, so
there will probably be more mischief before Monday is over!

 You'll notice that one perfect puppy is missing from this list.

Might be a long week.

  9. OMD I (Frankie Furter) am more and more SURE that Roxy and Ernie were MEANT fur each other... they BOTH have the ME FIRST mentality... He hasn't taken the screens off track... butt he HAS punched holes in them with his HUGE PAWS and CLAWS...
    OMD the baby bird... Flapping and Cheeping in Dui's mouth.. THAT must have been VERY much exciting... What a TREASURE...
    HAIL Columbia... we did not know that you ever got much hail... and that is a LOT of it. PLUS you got enough RAIN to flood the patio. THAT must have been very refreshing fur the plants and stuffs.
    WE think this was a very EXCITING way to start your MONDAY.

  11. That's an awfully early start to the mischief! Glad Dui threw up that bag. Wouldn't want that taking a trip through the plumbing!

  12. Dui needs to take on something more challenging than a baby bird-like a cricket.

  17. I'm exhausted from just reading your post, sounds like Dui and Roxy were on a real tear this morning. I hope Bella got extra treats today for being so good....yeah she should be up on a pedestal or something, just sayin'.

    Aroo to you,

  22. Hey Dui, that's a wee bit early for peeps. You'd have liked our Samba. She liked to get about 3 AM and gaze at the stars. We really hope the weeks gets better as it goes on because that's one really bad start.

  23. That sounds like a mischief packed Monday for sure - and hailstorms too! Hope things have got better now and that little bird is OK. Woofs and licks from Magic xx
