Another Morning Scare...NOT A GATOR!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

First of all, I don't want anyone thinking I am trying to compete with Jane's gator scare yesterday. If I lived there, I would already be packing my bags. We had a salamander in the basement and I almost did (in my pants) what Stuart was doing when the gator showed up, when I saw that thing. On top of that, Jane got hit on by her Gastro doctor yesterday and I am lucky if I can get my own husband to hit on me.  Finally, if that wasn't enough, she was almost run over by a small horse/Great Dane, and I did once stop a runaway horse, but it did not happen yesterday, so this is in no way a competition. Now, with that being said, I had a very big scare yesterday too and when my husband got home he said he had the same experience.

 

I got up yesterday morning like I always do and since I don't drink coffee, I took the dogs out without any drink. I had on my best terry cloth robe dating back to 2004 and if you remember, I lost the belt somewhere along the way, so I used a LL Bean butterfly scarf for the belt. As usual, my shoes were not at the door, so I put on my old rubber boots and opened the door. The dogs were enjoying running around and I was walking around minding my own business when I spotted this in the bushes....please hold on to your coffee cups, because I am taking no responsibility if what you are about to see causes a heart attack:

 

Here is an even better angle:

Ok, I realize this does not have large teeth that can hurt you, but if you are wandering around and happen to glance down and see this motley looking thing in your bushes, one has a tendency to scream and assume it is a dead animal.  What it really happens to be is a large stuffed Polar Bear that reminded me of Vern and even more so now that is it filthy dirty.

 

See the resemblance?

I do not like to accuse anyone of planting this in the bushes in order to collect my life insurance, but I was suspicious. Luckily, my husband mentioned having the same reaction before I said a word about it, so I felt confident in clearing him as my number one suspect. In my opinion, that left two other culprits or perps, whichever you prefer. All my evidence seems to be pointing to one large Doodle who seems to think these same bushes are a hiding place for his toys and also his new dog bed.

Although, he may have had an accomplice. I cannot be certain.

I would love to hear what everyone thinks really happened!!

I am truly touched by all the loving concern on DK for our old friend, Stewpid:)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I have no idea....LOL. However, if you remember, I hoped Stewpid met a girl rabbit and moved to Vegas. Since I have not seen him, I was sure he did. He went by Greyhound bus...LOL!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

He was here a couple of weeks ago. He and Tara had a face off and Tara backed down! You have some MEAN rabbits out there!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Well, he and his wife must be on their honeymoon in Oregon. Glad Tara stood her ground.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

F, These are the kinds of questions my husband asks me when I tell a story. I won't tell you what I say in return...haha.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks for sparing me? I am curious much of the time  Good thing I'm not a cat : )

[Sally, Ditzy Mitzi & Sgt. Pepper]

Oh my!  I thought it was a wild boar at first!    Now I can laugh!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank goodness no wild boars where we live....just very dirty stuffies :)

OMD!!!!  Laurie I am just reading this after being gone and at first glance I thought it was a wolf head  - lmao.  That would have been scary first thing in the a.m.  Now to your comment about packing my bags - while home in Michigan where the air was nice and fallish, crisp and clean - it did enter my mind to just not go back to gator land errrr I mean Florida.  Sadly I had to return - I had left the boys with their daddy.  So for the love of the doodles - I returned.  LOL

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Jane, I hoped you would see this discussion. I wrote it in your honor :) I would have come back too, for my doodles...LOL!!
