| Bonnie thinks I might mot notice her if she wears a disguise |
My step dog Bonnie has just given me the fright of my life!
Let me set the scene. At the weekend we at last bought ourselves a nice new flat screen TV (being one of the only people to still have a huge old box-style one). This neat little item of technology sits in our living room - the living room from which Bonnie is now banned when we go out!
Readers of this blog will know that Bonnie loves sitting on the settees, especially when she is wet or muddy. We made the 'No Bonnie In The Living Room' rule after the failure of the settee barricades and in preparation for when we invest in new settees. Having caught Bonnie out with our Bonnie Trap, we now make sure that our bad dog is shut out of the living room and the door is shut, whenever we go out.
Anyway, this afternoon, I popped out to the post office. When I got back, I was shocked to hear talking in the living room even though I had left the house empty. My immediate thought was buglers. I wasn't sure what to do so crept into the hallway and peeped through the crack in the living room door (which was partly open).
Through the gap, I could see that the television was on and laying on the settee was Bonnie - watching the snooker! Beside her was the remote. I don't watch TV in the daytime so she must have sat on it and turned it on. Of course, I had forgotten to shut the door when I went out.
I give up!
The good news is another sale to fiction Feast.
That must have given you a fright!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sale.
It sure did, Patsy!
DeleteI imagine Bonnie and Bobby plotting together as soon as you're out of the door :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of my daughter's dogs (needless to say the girl) figured out how to turn the kids' X-Box on and off and now she's worked out how to put the electric fire on! They're after world domination these dogs ;-)
Congratulations on the sale :-) x
Please don't put the idea into Bonnie's head, Teresa!
DeleteWell done on your latest sell. I love the idea of your pets watching you leave and then both settling back to watch snooker
ReplyDeleteI can't believe what they get up to sometimes, Paula!
DeleteSorry about the situation but it made me laugh, Wendy! Love the idea of the dogs watching snoker. Well done on another sale.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary. Yes, what can you do with them!
DeleteI simply have to admire Bonnie's cleverness. Also a confession: we still have a big old boxy TV. It refuses to die, has a good picture and is showing no sign of age other than its stout appearance. Even between us we couldn't lift it, so for the moment it's staying. If we keep it long enough it'll be retro.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sale.
If it hadn:t been for the fact that we're going to be redecoratibg the living room,I'm sure we would have kept it for years. Bob tried to jump on the back of tje new one. as Bonnie was annoying him, and of course fell off!
DeleteI can just imagine you peeping round the corner and finding Bonnie on the settee! I can only imagine what my cat Izzy gets up to whilst I'm out. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou need to set up an 'Izzy Trap' to catch her out - like we did with Bonnie!
