it's going to be a long summer.....
Yesterday Blondie came yelling into the house "Red is stuck!" I didn't panic - Red is always getting "stuck." Blondie insisted that he was REALLY stuck this time. She had been playing with him outside (what a good sister) and kicking the soccer ball for him to run after. It went into the field.
Now the fields in this area are some of the best farming fields around. Good soil. Good, thick, heavy - and right now - wet soil.
Red went in after the ball. He was wearing high mud boots. He took maybe two steps into the field and he was STUCK! Blondie couldn't pull him out. I had to go out there; he's yelling, "help me! I stuck, I stuck!" He was so stuck. I looked at him and sighed. I didn't have mud boots. I took off my moc's, rolled up my pants, and went in. I had to pull hard. Then there was a great sucking noise as his feet came out of his boots. I had Red, but the boots were still in the mud. They sat there sticking out about two inches out of the mud. With a little wiggling, they came out, too.
My mother said that I'll have to keep a step ahead of him. In theory, I completely agree with that. In reality... HOW!? I don't know which way his little active mind runs. My sweet Blondie has been (for the most part) very compliant and likes to go by the rules.
I don't think that there's rulebook for Red.
Now to pass along to you a new blogger: my cousin Jeff. He has two blogs - the slant is different on each. One is Jeff's Mouth and the other is Search4Hope
Jeff's Mouth is something I think Arby would appreciate.
Jeff writes well, but it doesn't appear that he writes frequently. We will have to encourage (a.k.a. nag) him to write more. |
