For your amusement . .
Thought I'd share Lily's (20 month old Working Cocker ) latest escapade
Picture the scene, dinner's over, OH and I are sat chilling on the sofa watching a bit of telly and we hear this god almighty racket getting louder and louder
I shot out of the lounge, just as I look into the kitchen, I spot something moving outside coming towards the door, the noise is now rather loud just as I'm thinking What the hell Lily tries to jump up the back door step with a full grown, still alive, quacking and flapping for it's life duck in her mouth
She'd grabbed it by it's bum so it was sticking out the front of her, now ducks are evidently quite heavy for cocker, which she demonstrated by missing the doorstep and tripping herself up, releasing said duck into my kitchen
The poor thing just ran in circles while I shouted at my other 2 dogs and Lily to leave and stay, OH finally gets his butt into gear and comes through as I'm shooing the still quacking duck out of the kitchen whilst trying to make sure the dogs who were leaving it alone but following closely waiting for their chance to strike, I got the duck outside and it got itself cornered by the doorstep and gate, I shouted to my OH 'Throw me that towel' pointing to the dogs one, OH replies with . . .
. . You can't dry a duck with a towel
I just looked at him totally stunned, incapable of processing what he'd said, with that the duck managed to wiggle under the gate, run across the drive and I heard a plop as it went back into the river. As I was trying to explain through my laughing that I wanted the towel to put over the duck so I could pick it up and move it to safety Lily started trying to dig her way under the fence to retrieve the duck she had decided was rightfully hers, I brought her in, shut the door and went to sit down to try and stop my heart beating it's way out of my chest Lily comes into the lounge, hops on the sofa gives OH and I a look that almost sent me for a shovel to start digging my grave, grumbled at us then settled down
Gotta love these Cockers eh
How can you stay mad at this face though?
