Easter

So Easter is just about done. The eggs have been handed out and there will be belly aches tonite from the amount of chocolate that was consumed. They tell me that chocolate is good for you, so I'm really not all that worried. No dark chocolate to be seen but kids don't know the difference, so just for one day neither do I.

Apart from all of that we had our own little resserection this morning, in the form of our two dogs. They had been missing since Palm Thursday and after being unable to locate them on Good Friday I had, mistakenly so it had turned out, believe them to be dead. So imagine my surprise when this morning there they were, happy to see me and really hungry. To me it was almost a miracle, especially considering where we live, where they is bush but not much else. I was so happy to see them that I nearly cried. Proclaiming loudly to the little ones that a true Easter miracle had happened.

Well, let me tell you by midday, when the barking had gotten to epic proportions I thought that it was a miracle that they were still alive. Now, don't get me wrong, I love my dogs. I love them so much that some people think that Im actually crazy. But this incessant barking that they had brought home was doing my head in. I understood that they were upset because the chooks were out, so they had to be chained up. I understood that all they wanted to do was run around the place, but that had just spent three days running so what did they really need to keep moving for?

In the end, we had to shut up the chooks early and let the dogs roam free. Now Im just hoping that the fence I fixed this morning will be enough to keep them in.

Happy Easter all..................
