Bliss by Harry Bliss for January 28, 2023

It actually tried to runaway

He discovered it was a boomslang…

So that is what a dog hangs on it’s home walls ;-)

Ah, stick-hunting stories!

Hmmm! Kitty is getting a great idea! Why didn’t he think of this? He can mount all the meeces he’s caught….except for the ones he…ate!

There was this other dog chasing it…

“The last cat that got that close was eaten…”

There we were, suddenly stick to nose, just the two of us. The trek back to the back yard with the prize has its own trials. No pausing to sniff other prey… Here’s a selfie. You can see the pride in my eyes and panting tongue. Good times.

Impressive collection!

I wonder how much those would fetch on the stick market?

This is sweet, Harry. Thanks!

“You see there was this little old guy all dressed in green walking down the path humming Molly Malone when I raced up and grabbed it. He hollered to me he would trade me his pot of gold if I would just give him back his shillelagh. Seriously now, what would I do with a pot of gold?”

It got stuck

From his career as a branch manager.

It didn’t want to fit through the doorway, then I had this brilliant moment, the rest is history

You should have seen the one that got away.

Trophy wall.

Just another fetch and catch but with an amusing twist…

I saw several of those when I lived in Nigeria; did not know Bliss had African roots

Recognize the master’s teeth marks?
