Frieland Follies

"You say it's a pond heater? I thought it was a Roscoe Rescue Rump Roaster."


"Okay, Boss, now what do I do?"


"Gimme flakes"


"Why did that girl bring me in here?
Oh, look out, Mom is coming....run away...."



"Why are you taking pictures of them and not of me???"


****Each and every one of these photos was taken yesterday in the course of a what-passes-for-normal day's activities here at the home of Frieland Holsteins and Maqua-kil Jerseys and Holsteins....and of assorted somewhat less dignified animals.

*****No animals were injured during the making of this blog post, although they tried....they really did.

Dani said...

Charley "Apple" Grabowski said...

As cold as it is I'm surprised Roscoe didn't have company! How the heck did the dog manage that? LOL Thanks for sharing their antics.

Andrea said...

Ed said...

I love the cat nose the best, as I've seen this view in the morning when it's time for breakfast.

Deb, they keep life interesting when everyting else is going wrong. I guess Mike thought he needed to carry a lunch pail or something. He had a little food in that bucket and the next thing I knew the girls were hollering for me to bring the camera. lol

Kristen, that was serendipitous. I was photographing the fish and he jumped up into the philodendron to kibitz.

Dani, that silly bird is like a poodle or something. loves to be carried and fooled with

WW, thanks, just a little dog food I think

Jeffro, see answer to Dani. A friend gave him to Liz and he has no concept of being a chicken. He does live in the chicken house though. I don't know why Becky lugged him down to the house.

Linda, I am so glad that you can comment again! He is just a silly old guy. After I took his pic, I just took the pail off for him. He was quite grateful

Alan, he isn't doing the pond heater any good either.

Paints, hmmmm

Apple, the cats sit on the heater and dip their paws down in the center hole...whether trying to fish or dipping up a drink I don't know...it is pretty funny.

Andrea, thank you so much! Just lucky shots

Ed, thank you....just stuff happening around the house while I was trying to get my work done. lol

Anon, yeah, don't we all


J9, thanks so much, he does get that nose into everything if he can!

Freste said...

The Mike pic is priceless. That one made my week. Wow, you got the kitty nose like a pro. I'm jealous.

threecollie said...

Steve, thanks, it made for a really funny pic, but I am real glad we were inside when he got himself stuck in there. He probably would have gotten out okay as he is a pretty smart guy, but it is good that he had rescue right close at hand

love the dog with the bucket necklace and the kitty nose.

MML, thanks, the animals were sure in a strange mood that day

Linda, thanks!

YES YES YES! I'm with you with these photos...kisses to Mr. Fluff. And it's the norm for farm beasts (obviously, dogs included) to get stuck in buckets, eh? :)

Teri, anything they can do to drive you crazy.......lol
