My house is one too!!! A crazy house that is. It's nuts! My DH came home with a flag last week to hang on our pole outside on our house and it says, "Welcome to the nut house". It is a picture of a squirrel with acorn nuts all over it. Too funny! I had him hang it up right away! My kids think it's funny too!
I got to tell you this story about my dog. One cold rainy night this past winter @ about 1am my dog got me up because she had to go to the bathroom really bad. She is a golden retriever and always has to have a ball in her mouth when she goes outside no matter what time of day it is. We live on a mountain top with some steep slopes off one side. She decided to go to the bathroom near the slope, with her ball in her mouth. During her bathroom break she drops the ball down the slope in the pouring rain. You can imagine what happen next. She went diving down the slippery slope for her ball into the foggy rain. She is very old, almost 12yrs old, and has hip problems. I couldn't see her and could only imagine what happened to her. I called and called her. I mean i was screamming for her in the pouring rain. No response. So i started to proceed down the muddy slope, on my butt of course, in my PJ's, looking for her and screaming her name. Finally she comes climbing back up the hill, with her ball in her mouth of course. Next thing i know several lights came on in the neighborhood, including my DH. He really thought i had lost it that night. I'm sure the neighbors know now i'm a crazy animal person. So no balls outside at night anymore.
