well, our plans have changed considerably. we were supposed to have Christmas here in pittsburgh and then travel out to minnesota for a visit with the abbott family. but when john called and asked us to come earlier so that he could see the boys before heading in for a possible second brain surgery, we jumped into high gear to change our plans so that we can head out on friday and spend christmas with the family. everything has fallen into place really well except for the dogs... we're working on finding someone to take care of them while we're away.
aaahhh. the dogs. last night, we got a surprise from our four legged girls, holly & georgia. ever since we got married, we've had the displeasure of hearing a rooster crow... ALL DAY. seriously. if it was only in the morning, it would be okay but that bird just keeps going all day!
you see, at some point over the summer, our neighbor decided to "save" this rooster from some terrible demise and bring him to live at her home. this bird would strut around her yard (2 houses down from ours) and often wandered his way around the neighborhood. now, anyone who knows me knows that i have a MAJOR problem with a rooster walking around the neighborhood. i'm terrified of birds - chickens & roosters in particular! i can't even say how much i hate that bird but i've been so thankful for our dogs because they seem to scare him away from our yard - and away from me!
last night, ed got home after working late and told me he saw something in the driveway just behind the house. we took a flashlight out and found what he suspected - a dead rooster in our driveway! somehow the girls got him and killed him. yikes! so, now ed needs to get it out of our driveway (i don't want to go near it - even if he is dead!) and we need to tell our neighbor the sad news. how's that for a little weird in our lives? :)
