A New Family Member
(May 30, 2005)
 |
Since all of my ducks are very nearly in a
row now,
I've decided to add a new member to the family.
 |
"Is it another ducky?"
No Bingo Baloo. But that was a good guess.
 |
"Is it a baby goose like our mom's friend
Honey?"
No it's not a goose, Miss Murphy. That was a good guess also.
 |
"It can't be another furry indoor duck.
Grandma already has 3 of those."
You're right Kozmo Kirby. It's not another cat.
 |
"I wonder if it's big like me."
 |
"I hope it likes to swim like me."
 |
"It's gotta be better looking than Flapper."
 |
"I'm not going to share my pen with it."
Nope. You don't have to share with anyone else, Flapper.
 |
"We give up, Grandma. What is it?"
 |
It's Riley, the dachsherd dog!
 |
"Are you on quack, Grandma?"
 |
"I love the smell of ducky doo-doo in the morning."
 |
"I should have seen the warning signs."
 |
Riley loves to play with her new tennis-football toy and to go for walks.
 |
"I love you, toy."
 |
Riley... why are you taking all of the fuzz off of the tennis football?
 |
"I can't tell you. I'm busy chewing right now."
 |
"Are you sure about this Riley character, mom?"
 |
Yep. I'm sure, Flapper. Riley is here to stay.
 |
"I like the beak on her. But the fur? I'm a feather man myself."
 |
"I'd like my wet food sprinkled on top of my dry food like whipped cream topping now."
You got it, Riley. Welcome to the family!
:: stay tuned ::
