Monday at the Park

There it was....Monday again.  Not my favorite day of the week and sometimes I have a mood that reflects it.  I do try to deal with it in a positive way though.  My lunchtime came and I thought I would head on out to the park, find a shade tree and just "chill out".  Thought I might read a bit of the novel I brought along. 

THE RESIDENT PARK GOOSE HAD OTHER PLANS!     

I was sitting there eating and I heard this squawking noise right outside my open car window.  I glanced over to see a big goose standing there squawking at me with it's beady little eyes locked onto my granola bar.  HHmmmm  what to do?

Plan A was that I could start my car and move to a new spot but I wasn't giving up my prime spot in the shade.  Plan B was that I could throw the thing some crumbs in hopes of shutting it up.  This thought came to mind right before I glanced up at the park sign that said "Do Not Feed The Animals".  A police cruiser was parked nearby so I chucked that thought.  Plan C was that I could just choke the thing for being that way!  This thought was squashed by thoughts of headlines that would read :

Woman In Park Chokes Goose!

I finally decided on Plan D which was to simply try to ignore the goose, eat my lunch, read my novel and it would go away on it's own.  Well, that didn't happen.  Up until the time I left, the goose continued to squawk and stare.  When I drove away, I looked in my rear view mirror and saw it standing there, presumably waiting on it's next victim.

Mya

This is the most recent member of our household.  Her name is Mya.  She has been here for about a year now.  She knows everyone loves her and she is one spoiled dog.  She is getting really big now and the trouble is, she still thinks it's a good thing to make a running jump for my lap.  I have to prepare myself for that!  She thinks she should eat when we do.  She gets a lot of attention from all of us.  She does, however, mope around when her owners leave the house even though she is left with "Grandma and Grandpa".  LOL

When Tony and Whitney leave the house, she starts looking out the window for their return, as if to say "Grandma, when are they coming back?"  You can see that she is too big to be a lap dog.  It's just that no one told her.  LOL
