A nice way to start new year.......

[Roberta]

I worked till 12 lst night so the early "I want to go out"  pounding on the side of the bed was not really needed.
Took them out to the back garden, Oliver trotted to his spot and MS I don't like getting my pattoootie wet on the grass, stepped lightly on the lawn. Oliver spotted something in the courtyard around the other side of the house and trotted round, madam followed.
I was still half asleep and clapped for them to come, no one came, unusual  as Amy is ususally first back in bed. I went to investigate, and who should appear with a living bird in her mouth. Now Nick was still ZzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzz and would not hear me and I'm not good with killing half dead things, plus I still had to extract it from madam. I told her to DROP IT and DROP IT NOW, and to my surprise she did, the bird hopped and flew off. Amy had the look of "that stunned you, didn't it."
