Dogs and a Splash of Humor

 

Stories about animals and kids can be amusing. Here are a couple of vignettes. I tried to get a picture of dogs trying to come into the church. Some Sundays they go right up to the altar or take a tour during mass.

 

Here are two of the dogs that live at my center (there are four). The front one is Donny, the one behind I call Gramps. They guard the place. We don't need doorbells, because they bark whenever anyone comes to the gate. Though sometimes I think they bark at passing clouds or butterflies!!

When I am home (and working) I usually leave a door open. As I was passing from one room to another, something flickered in my peripheral vision. The rooster had come in through the office to the living room. I opened the living room door to shoe him out, but as he is supposedly blind, that wasn't easy. In those brief moments he was able to leave a few "presents". He has been on my hit list for eating, my pea, watermelon and flower plants. I hear that he is going to market tomorrow! (and he won't be making any purchases, wink wink!)

I will try to insert another photo in here later of the chicken that likes to say her prayers. She thankfully went to her birth home, because she ate even more plants, and left even more presents for the Virgin Mary.

 

Always save the best for last. One of the kids in the after school program, has a secret access to fish, the very small ones you find in a pond. I have no idea where he gets them, and all the other kids are fascinated with them. He is quite generous, and shares them with anyone, who has a little cup of water.

Dona Severina's son who is in first grade was very excited to get some. The next day we asked him where his fish were, and he proudly staed that he had put them in the water tank, so they would have room to swim and grow! Note that this is our water tank for drinking, cooking & bathing!! I couldn't stop laughing! So logical! Sure enough when we filled the water tank a few weeks later there were two larger fish swimming around. Sorry no photo, you just have got to believe!!
