Picture Parade Four Hundred and Twenty-One

A departure from my normal Picture Parades.

Simply because a good friend, Neil, from my English days down in Devon, sent me a cartoon that I wanted to share with you all.

Wonderful!

Dogs are the best!

This came in from our neighbour, Dordie!

You will love it!

ooOOoo

This dog catching a fish while his owner is away.. Dogs are the best..

It was originally posted on ‘X’ by but then I found it on YouTube. However the text that was shown on X read:

Buitengebieden,

ooOOoo

Wonderful! Thanks Dordie!

It is amazing what one sees on the road!

This is an account of an Amazon delivery driver!

This story was originally published on The Dodo and I thought it would make a brilliant share with you all. Here it is!

Amazon Delivery Driver Spots The Weirdest-Looking ‘Dog’ Trotting Toward His Truck

“This is so funny, what the heck” 😂
By Caitlin Jill Anders

Published on the 24th August, 2023

An Amazon delivery driver named Erik was out delivering packages as usual when he noticed someone furry walking in front of his truck. He figured it was a dog coming to say hi, which happens to him a lot on his route. He was getting excited to greet the dog and see if he’d ever met this one before — then suddenly realized he wasn’t a dog at all.

When the animal made it to the door of his truck, Erik realized the friendly neighbor was actually a goat.

Erik and the goat stood watching each other for a few seconds, both assessing the situation. Then, the goat decided Erik was friendly and climbed on the truck, greeting Erik just like a dog would. Erik couldn’t stop laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

“This is so funny, what the heck,” Erik said in a video about the encounter.

The goat jumped up onto Erik to say hi and even stuck his little tongue out. He was wearing a collar and a leash, which made Erik think this kind of thing probably happens a lot.

A TikTok user who has goats commented, “[T]hat bell means he’s the problem goat.”

Luckily, using the leash, Erik was able to lead the friendly goat back to where he came from. He was glad it didn’t turn into a neighborhood-dog-who-wouldn’t-leave-his-truck, which has happened to him before.

Erik didn’t expect to see a goat during his shift that day, but now he hopes it’ll happen again.

ooOOoo

There were three videos inserted in the original, all from TikTok, but I chose not to include them. If you want to watch them then please go here.

However, it is a delightful story!

Picture Parade Four Hundred and Ninety-Three

Hoping to be back to normal!

July 20th was my last post. Here are some of my own photographs taken while Maija, my daughter, Marius, her husband, and Morten, their son were with us. That was after Alex, my son, had come to see us in June.

Here is Morten, who spent hours caressing and fondling Brandy, our largest dog.

oooo

His other passion was exploring for gold. We have Bummer Creek flowing through the property. It is called ‘Bummer’ because as the locals would have it there is no gold to be found. But that didn’t stop Morten spending time looking for gold!

And this is Maija (photo slightly out of focus).

The next photo shows Maija and Morten strolling along the creek.

oooo

Above a shot showing Marius and Morten looking for the illusive metal!

I close with the Morten and Marius hoping to see a trace of gold in the gold-pan, and Maija looking on.

My next post will be on Tuesday.
