Nigel wants to make sure you’re paying attention.
Nigel: Are you paying attention for our lesson about the letter D?
Me: Thank you, Nigel. Okay, now that everyone’s paying attention, let’s begin.
D is for many things I love. For example, D is for donkeys.
And D is for ducks.
And D is for donkeys who herd ducks.
Bernard: Just making sure they’re all present and accounted for.
And here’s me being excited that I got everyone in one picture.
D is for dogs, too!
Because the ducks were in the pasture with the donkeys, it was safe for us to let the dogs out in the front yard where the ducks usually dwell.
Patrick was initially interested in the dogs, but soon returned to grazing.
Nigel, however, was quite serious about his herd guarding duties.
As was Ellsworth. The dogs, fortunately, had no interest in the donkeys.
Last, but not least, D is for Don, my dear husband.
Yes, D is for many things I love. ♥ ♥ ♥

You have good reason to love all things “D”. 🙂
I must note that in every picture with “Dogs”, it appears they are eating what I assume is “Duck Doo-Doo”. Sorry, couldn’t resist. My dogs love chicken poo.

“D” is for delicious green grass! And delightful photos.
That first picture looks like Nigel’s on the verge of pocket-dom. C’mon Nigel, you can do it!

Cee Cee asked what I was going to ask. I guess that’s as good a way as any to deal with the duck doo doo. No dog kisses till after they’ve brushed, flossed and gargled! At my house, that sort of thing is known as “The Bad Snack”.

Did you know pigs eat cow doo doo too? My hubby’s family used to raise pigs, and the pigs would literally wait around behind a cow for them to, well you know. Yuck.

Five donkeys AND six ducks, all in one pic! Very impressive. 🙂
We had one adult corgi when we got our second corgi. That same weekend, we babysat for two of my friend’s dogs. One day, we had one dog, The next day, we had two dogs. The next day, we had four dogs. Thank goodness the progression stopped there!
My husband lined up the four dogs and took pics. My friend competes in Obedience at very high levels. Her dogs knew just what SIT and STAY meant. My grownup girl also knew just what was wanted.
The puppy … well, the puppy was a thinker, and she looked around and saw what the grownup dogs were doing, and she did the same……
🙂
And that’s my story about getting “all of them” in one pic.
