Okay, so I wanted to let you know, I'm having major problems with blogger. I'm managing to get this post out by sneaking on to draft blogger. (Of course this is right in the middle of the A-Z challenge. Ugh!) Hopefully my sneak job will work for further postings. If not, and I disappear off the face of the blogosphere, you'll know it was due to technical difficulties.
Now for the funny of the day: Schultz meets Sunshine. As you know (or may not know if you're a new follower), Schultz is my giant, loveable, completely obnoxious German Shepherd. The beast is no less than 102 pounds. Sunshine is my teensy weensy green parakeet. She's my good pet.
Today, Sunshine was attempting to eat her breakfast. She sat on her cup by her cage door, and cracked away on her seeds. Schultz had to be nosy. He went right up to her door and stuck his big nose against it. He sniffed.
Sunshine stopped cracking and looked. What the heck is this thing? she thought.
Then he licked the cage.
Sunshine got a little nervous when she saw that big pink tongue.
"Schultz," I said. "Leave Sunshine alone. She just wants to eat her breakfast."
Apparently Schultz wanted to eat her breakfast, too. He used his big snoot to open the cage door.
Poor Sunshine nearly had a heart attack. She flew to the other side of the cage in a big hurry!
"Schultz!" I said. "Go to your crate!"
He complied, and Sunshine was able to finish her breakfast (after a little coaxing).
I hope the bird isn't traumatized for life!.
Do you notice all the hyperlinks in red? I didn't do that. What's up with that? Is anybody else having these problems?
ReplyDeleteI love watching different animals interact. I'm sure Schultz is wondering what the heck Sunshine is!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, he usually doesn't pay any attention to her. I don't know what made today different. Maybe he finally discovered that she had food!
DeleteI do hope you will be able to post again soon!
ReplyDeleteDid you change your format?
No, I didn't change anything. I'm doing everything from draft blogger now. Fortunately, I'm able to still get posts out, albeit with great difficulty!
Deletehaha if I saw something 50 times my size I'd fly away too. Prob just a blogger glitch, they are going around always.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't imagine what that beast looks like to a tiny little bird. It must be terrifying!
DeleteI hope you can get the Blogger issues worked out! So frustrating any time, but especially when you're in the middle of something like the A-to-Z! And poor bird!

Still working through draft blogger. I'm just grateful I can still do that! Sunshine seems okay today, and Schultz is leaving her alone. Yay!
DeleteTry changing browsers. I have a lot of difficulty with Blogger when I use Explorer. Not so much when I use Mozilla.
ReplyDeleteI hope your A to Z gets back on track,

Yes, I switched to Google Chrome exclusively when I'm using Blogger and so far, so good. Hope you get things worked out soon!
DeleteDawn
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to try that.
DeletePoor Sunshine! I kept waiting for you to say that Schultz got pecked on the nose by the parakeet. Hopefully Schultz won't show anymore curiosity as to what Sunshine is doing.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Blogger problems are solved very soon! I seem to be having a few problems of my own, but don't know if it is my laptop or Blogger. Uugh!
