total backfire!

i have been teaching dandy to pick up around the house. basically, anything on the floor, i want to find in a basket when i get home so i can just sort it out and voila: housework done.

it's been going very well - very well, indeed.

too well!

i was hanging the laundry and out of the corner of my eye saw a bright yellow blob go bobbing down the river.

"tennis ball", i though automatically and kept hanging clothes.

another yellow blob.

"someone must be having trouble with their serve," i thought, snickering mentally.

another yellow blob.

"rubber ducky."

RUBBER DUCKY!!!? dandy has a rubber ducky! he has yellow tennis balls, too! there ARE no tennis courts upstream - it's all bush!

i raced to the top of the riverbank just in time to see dandy wing his pink rubber boot into the water and head back for my watering can!

the balls and the ducky were history but he did get his boot back and i was able to safeguard my watering can.
