Wild Wordy Wednesday

I know lots of you do

Wordless Wednesday

but that's just not us.

We couldn't stop talking
 or barking or mewing

over here if we wanted.

We did go looking a bit though.

Found something called Blog Hop.

There were lots of photos and blogs.

One had a collie.

A collie from Seattle.

A collie who had lots of colors

like our Jodie Belle.

We went to visit that blog.

We read about their dogs.

The collie ends up being

Jodie Belle's brother.

Here is the link to their site.

Isn't he pretty.

Cascadian Nomads
(we would have copied his photo
but didn't want to do that without asking first)

Isn't that crazy.

Who would think we'd ever

see any of her siblings .. again.

Jodie is so excited that she
went out back and barked
it to all who could hear
in her woods.

That of course would be
a coyote family
(yes, they are still here)
and that deer we saw
a few days ago.

See, we couldn't do a
wordless day
if we wanted.

Maybe a hissing or barking one.
(as I was typing, Meredith Ann
and Riley Andrew were talking
Hissing with each other. )

Wild Wordy Wednesday

Yes, none of this no talking on this blog.

Nope, it's a let it all out type of day.

So, you all want to know what's going on .. right.

Lots of silly things that all add up to a royal pain in the back.

(And, I am on ice at the moment.

That's why I picked back.)

Since we were talking about ice, don't you

(all of you who have ever hurt your back,

neck or any parts)

love those ice packs that you throw

in the freezer and then in the morning

while making coffee,

you get one out  ..

I bent over to refill the cute Siamese's water dish

 and the scream my woods heard

was the kind that rocked the tiles on my roof

 .. anyway, I have one of those on my back.

And, this is also a complaint ..

who throws their back from bending over

to change out the water in a dish ?

 Oh, I know ... me.

 Of course, why not .. haven't done that in a while.

Is there a universal calendar that said ..

oh, she hasn't been in a lot of pain lately

 ... yep, she's due.

Can you now see why this is a

Wild Wordy Wednesday.

Wild is now to be explained.

And, I'm not sure it's really wild but I needed a W,

so that's the word I used.

I was planning on a nice vacation

 to a lovely warm location.

It was supposed to be a relaxing trip.

Just sit and watch the water while sipping wine.

(there's a hint of where it was in there)

So, as the flight plans were being made,

I was having to jump through hoops

and do a dance at the airport.

The hotels were going to have me

have two days where I had to

wait to get checked in.

All this just to go with Mr. Boatman

on one of his business trips.

So, last night I decided that this relaxing

trip wasn't at all going to be that.

It would have taken me a lot of wine

to manage the hoops.

(And, with that back of mine,

I'm really not very good at hoops.

Not that I ever was but imagine

one hand with a glass of wine

and the other trying to jump

through the hoops of life.)

Thus, I cancelled my fun in the sun

and now will be staying in my woods.

Thus, the Wild cause the planning of

this mini relax vacation

became somewhat like a walk

on the wild side.

Only I didn't want to do that.

And, Wednesday is that I have

received in the wind a nasty cold.

I went yesterday to the local

drugstore, not telling names here,

and filled up on every cold/cough

remedy that I could put in my basket.

Ok, a chocolate bunny fell in too.

(waiting in the same frig as my ice packs)

I was just a bit cranky this morning

when my back went out

and my cold / sore throat

said Hello to me.

So, today I will be sitting on ice

(literally)

and taking cold meds

and not doing what I thought I would.

How do I tell those cats and dogs

not to drink anymore water ?

So, I'm off to get more coffee,

a new ice pack,

and see how I can pour water

in a dog dish without getting

any of it in it.

(meaning I'm pouring it like pancake syrup)

How's your day ?
