Some advice to my doggy friends
That I'm pleased to have on here
I know you all have owners
Who hold you very dear
But just the same there's many times
When attention is sadly lacking
And you feel you need some way
To give them an emotional whacking
Playing dead is what it's called
It always gets them going
You just lie down there very still
Till you hear them oh'ing and woeing
Then jump up and wag your tail
And look all full of vim
Unless of course they don't care much
And stick you in the bin
Morning Don & Midge, That was a Lovely Poem, Know why you wrote it, Our Little ones can be so Crafty, Princess doesn't come on my Knee any More, She senses something is not right.(No, I don't smell). She Lolls all over her Dad Belly up, or does roll overs for her favourite Chicken Chews. Midge is more Crafty , Knows how to get your Attention. have a Good Day, stay safe both of you. XXX C.
My old dog just gets smarter and smarter. Yesterday I was trying to get some work done at my desk (I use a spare back bedroom as an office) and she came up and started pawing me. I got a bit annoyed telling her to push-off but she persisted. Shortly after I sniffed food cooking which reminded me that I'd put some chicken legs in the oven which were approaching the over-done stage. If I'd understood what she was trying tell me they would have been just right, 🙄
A friend of mine had an elderly dog that would frequently be apparently dead but made miraculous recovries when cheese was present 🧀
I looked after a Yorkshire Terrier that revived with banana.
That's an unusual choice 🍌 I don't know if Midge would be too impressed with bananas 🤔
Phew Midge! poor Don must be so pleased when you jump back up again.
Lots of love xxx🥰😂😘💖
Good morning Mr.D and no surprises to read yet another clever rhyme. I see you've captured Midge in her "playing dead position" and how elegant does she look. Our Hazel🐕 I'm affraid, lets the doggie side down. She.lies perfectly still hardly spotting her breathing at all. Unbelievable how she can do it for several mins ....... as she'll lie on her back and all four legs going floppy and her bottom lip opens enough to see her little white teeth at the front(not the fangs or big teeth). Honestly.its quite alarming when you see her in "pretend dead pose"for the first few times. I will endeavour to get a good photo and show you. At least your lovely girl🐶 Midge, has some manners and syrikes a decent pose without everything on display if you get my drift.
Hope you've been well and like the rest of us just waiting for our isolation to end. Take care x 🐿 🌈 💕
I'm looking forward to that photo of Hazel, they do get in some amusing poses. This isolating business is getting me down. I preparing to start having short runs out in my self-isolated motorhome/campervan. It's totally self-contained with the doors and windows locked. I have an emergency number to phone to be rescued if necessary.
I'm with you there Mr.D and a very good morning to you 😀.
If i had a motorhome like yours and 3 women who are itching to accompany you on a self contained journey to boost one's moral and general wellbeing .......... well, you sure wouldnt stop me. Honestly. Especially since its rumoured that we possibly will get a relax on our lockdown etc, then it doesn't seem like there's been a better time than now.👍
If you are feeling well in yourself and ensure you tell a family member or friend your itinerary, take lots of fluids, mobile phone, supplies oh you know the drill. Be safe. Be sure and be off with you and enjoy. Obviously we expect photos for proof. Bon voyage!!🚙🌞. Makes it sound like you are going to another part of the world eh? Dont forget to come back though will you??😷🌈🐿💕
I'll see what the new rules are next week. The trouble is rules are drawn up on the premise that 'one size fits all' and few people will have the facilities I have to keep myself isolated but moblie.
Nice one Midge.
Hi Don and Midge another great poem to brighten our day thank you. Have a lovely day and stay safe 😊 Bernadette and Jack xxxx 🌈
I'm glad about that though I'm sure not everyone sees it in that light. I hope you and and Jack and a nice day. 😘xx
It’s that last line of your poems that gets me every time ...quite a talent you have .
Aww 😂that little leg held up in the air
She's a right drama queen isn't she. This keeping isolated is getting to her as well as me. I let her out to greet people who have left things on the step for me and give her a quick wipe round when she comes back in, but I think that confuses her even more.
It’s hard for the dogs to understand. Next doors dog came into our garden and looked at me as if to say where are my cuddles you usually give me. X
The whole of a dogs life is made up of such events, it must be very confusing for them.
Love the stiff legged approach Midge
Her best friend is a butcher. She's seen them with their front legs tied ready for hanging on the meat hook.
