Gilbert the Good and the Squeaker

 

Gilbert the Good and the Squeaker

I am sorry to report that my honking duck has been confiscated once again. I deconstructed it the other day and removed the squeaker. It is beyond repair – the squeaker, that is.

I think Janice can repair the duck. I hope so, anyway. Strangely, she didn’t want to do it immediately. She said something about it being ‘all slobbery.’ I was quite insulted. I don’t slobber. I know I dribble water all over the floor when I have a drink but that’s because I’m in a hurry. There’s always something else needing my attention.

This is our water bucket. It used to contain fish food. There is another full bucket in the garage, maybe even two. I think there may have been a special offer . . . Whatever the reason, it’s going to take a long time before those buckets are emptied ‘cos all the fish have disappeared, again.

  1. Gilbert, deconstructed my hat. You massacred the duck until it honked no more. I don't suppose you know anything about the missing fish too?

    As soon as that slobber is dry Janice - out with the needle and thread!

  3. Gilbert, I am wondering, will you find a silent duck so interesting? I know I wouldn't.

  4. A quackless duck is not much fun is it?
    Janice needs to get quacking on repairs or renewals doesn't she!

  5. Perhaps a new squeaker can be inserted when the duck gets repaired? Now, about those missing fish....

  6. Gilbert, tell her to buy all new ! Repaired things don't last long, especially when you play with it !

  7. Dear gilbert, we certainly hope you get that squeaky duck back. I mean after all you are a good bird retriever I am sure. And no there's no way that you could have been slobbering.

  10. Gilbert, just keep giving Janice that look and I'm sure she'll make a dash for the sewing basket.

    1. At one time, we had two marine aquaria - it was a never-ending task. The garden pond has been rather neglected so needs an overhaul - again! 😒

  15. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. I'm sure it was less readable than the thoughts of your very eloquent dog.
