“I”

“Introoooooders”

Angel Sammy Kimmell, 2/9/2017

One of the things that we do

For most of us this rings true…….

Is guard our humans from spies

And those nasty introooooder guys!

Squirrels, chipmunks, skunks and birds –

Apparently they didn’t get the word –

That WE are defending our humans and homes

So they’d be wise to find other places to roam!

We bark, hiss or whine to warn them to leave

Some will listen but some don’t believe!

So we run tell our humans that we need them to help

That the introooders will not listen to our hiss, whine or yelp!

When will they all learn what we all seem to know – –

They just are not welcome so it’s time that they GO!

(Below are some of my introoders of the past……!)

possum introoder
cat introoder
almost invisible deer introooder

Oh we’re sure moving through the alphabet quickly………….I may come up with a NEW challenge after we get to “Z” this time around……….so stay tuned!    We have a long way to go to get there!

Happy Thursday From My Cloud!

  4. That was a good choice for the letter I Sammy. We are thankful you still blog we love hearing from you.

    Idealize
    Fenris is the ideal dog
    He doesn’t get lost in the fog
    He doesn’t eat like a hog
    although he is a toy hog
    and he is always willing to help with the blog.

    Sorry we aren’t very handy with poetry. We hope you will forgive our poor performance and come celebrate Fenris’ barkday/gotcha Day with us.

    • I had frog buddies for a few years – always in Spring and I used to play a game called “push the frog” with them. I liked to watch them hop so when they’d stop hopping I’d reach out with my paw and give them a little push until they hopped again…….I named him Freddy.

  13. Sammy, as always, this is a most excellent poem. We also have skunk introoooders! We don’t like them at all. They stink up the place. Somebody sent Dad a video yesterday of a skunk eating from a dog’s food bowl on their deck with the dog sitting about a foot away watching. Smart woofie! We did write a poem today. If anyone is interested, they can find it at http://www.thecatonmyhead.com/cant-imagine-life/

  18. Thank you so much for visiting our blog. Mom did enjoy a quite country life growing up. It affected her personality in that she feels “out of balance” somehow when things get too busy. Mom likes the peace and quiet so she can “think” and help me with our “pretty pictures” . I’m glad my Mom is the way she is, as I’d hate to have a busy, prissy Mom who wouldn’t take me on our rambles through the woods and fields here around our home.

    Yups we have to agree with your comment on wishing we’d had the time to question Mom’s parents on things we would have liked to know about. Their passing leaves a lot of unanswered questions . You always think you’ll have time later, and then the later is too late.

    Love, Molly and my Mom @ The Fast and The Furriest

    • One of the reasons my husband and I moved to the town where we live now was to get away from the “big city”…….it’s a busy town but we are now retired so have no “hustle bustle” in our lives anyway. Every day is a gift. Nice to meet you and we hope you enjoy meeting so many wonderful people here in “blogville” !!

      Hugs, Pam (and Angel Sam)

  22. You have done a very impressive job protecting your humans from the pesky introoders. We try to keep the squirrels away too, and sometimes some varmints like moles:)

    • I’m glad you were inspired to write some poetry! My Mom used to write a lot of poetry in addition to short stories and a novel or two and my poetry day got her back into things. It’s fun. Next week we do “J” so I hope you’ll tune in again and write a poem to share!!!!

  28. Love the possum introoder! I threw out my leftover chicken from dinner the other night out in my front yard for the two strays that roam the neighborhood, and the next day I found the one I call Sewer Rat digging in while this very very very noisy squirrel sat in the tree next door and barked his head off at him!!! It was so funny… the cat didn’t pay him any mind. All he was interested in was the food!

    • I bet Mr. Squirrel was hoping to chase Sewer Rat off so he could pop down out of that tree and have a munch or two. Squirrels can really get QUITE upset can’t they. My Mom enjoys sitting on the front porch and listening to some of their “arguments”…..they get quite animated!

    • Hi Gang! Thanks for coming by WHENEVER you can……..the frogs were my friends and I miss them. The BIG frog brought a little frog with him one day which was really fun – I think he was showing off his son to his cat buddy. HAHA
