This Really Is For The Birds!

I really don’t know what’s gotten into Poppa lately. We had our routine. He comes home from work, he changes his clothes, and we sit together on the couch until bedtime. But now all of a sudden, we’re sitting outside!

I’m not really one who likes the outdoors all that much. Unless there’s a neighbor that needs to be barked at, or a small child that needs to get his/her comeuppance, I generally prefer to be air conditioned during this time of year. But I love my Poppa, so here we are.

As it turns out, he and Momma have become bird watching enthusiasts. Poppa even has a new blog called Backyard Birds (or something like that… check it out for yourself when you get a chance…)

Birds, huh? That must be what all of those fellas are who sing, fly, eat and poop all day out in the yard. I don’t see the big fascination, but I might as well help Poppa spot a few. Hey, isn’t that a Blue Speckled Humming Jay Wren?

HA! Made you look! That’s what Poppa gets for looking at anything else besides his beloved Dachshund!

Well, at the end of the day, I’m the only Little Girl he really loves. I guess he deserves a smooch after all.

Now, let’s get back inside so Poppa can give me a nice long brushing before bed! Goodnight, gentle readers. Until next time… :)
