An Ode

[kateincornwall]

I stood in the garden
At quarter to three
in the rain, in my wellies
Awaiting the wee

The rain was torrential
Gale blowing out there
He played with a leaf
Not giving a care

I remembered some words
" Keep your humour " she said !
Then success at last
So we trudged back to bed

He thought it was time
To get up , eat and play
So we cuddled up close
Until snoring away

On what merry dance
Will he lead me today ?
But it doesn't matter
He`s here, to stay xx

Love it!! Yeah as snowbunny says...been there done that.....got the bags under the eyes to prove it!! I actually once slipped on a ninja pooh Hunter sneaked out at 3 in the morning.....I can now laugh at the memory...... Luckily it was cold so I was wearing shoes at the time!

Lovely, and so true, my brain usually shuts down in that situation!

Were you composing that while shivering in the rain and watching the dear boy play with a leaf - so true though. Brilliant ode.

No , it came to me as I cuddled a still dampish puppy close to me , wondering what the hell I had done and yet knowing it was the right thing to do !! I cant grumble , its the first time he has had me out at an ungodly hour , though I`m sure it wont be the last ! xx

 

[Stacia]

Not Reuben's fault then but the ungodly weather Of which there seems to be a great deal of today.......

I might add that, having never warmed up following my cold very wet nocturnal foray , I decided that a hot shower was the order of the day , to waken me and warm me up ! As I didn't want Reuben to wake Paul and Nelly , I stupidly left the bathroom door open , having taken the precaution of moving the toilet roll holder to higher ground first ! I heard him , from behind the curtain , messing about , and as I opened the shower curtain , I saw the bathmat slowly disappearing through the open door , then realised that he had also decided to drag the nice warm towels from the radiator and into the kitchen ! Not a dull moment ! xxx
