Have you ever heard the old Polish Proverb, “Not my circus, not my monkeys?” Hu-Dad could only watch yesterday and realized we are his monkeys.
Hu-Dad has all of these camping rules which include no singing in the campground, being nice to others, and so on. The newbie, Landon, has been on his best behavior until a rocking chair entered.
Some how, some way, Landon hooked one of Hu-Dad’s rocking chairs for human visitors and pulled it close. The plan was apparently to sit in the rocking chair.
Apparently, Landon never quite counted on the little detail that rocking chairs rock. Not to mention our picket line might be a little short for climbing. This effort went on for quite a while. Success, however, was quite elusive.
Quite the monkey, huh? Which is what brought that old Polish Proverb to Hu-Dad’s mind. And the realization that the monkeys were all his.

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
Oh if only Kiska & Quannik could have talked!! Boom you are one silly boy!!!
I love these Way back Wednesdays and how Landon showed the persistence to get on furniture and his lack of skill since early on.
Camping with 1 can be a handful, but 6 is way more than that!! Love seeing Miss Kiska in the background. Landon was adorable in his chair. Happy days as usual.
Hu-Dad-LOVE these way back Wednesdays and seeing the Herd as it was. Also-seeing Landon as a newbie is awesome!!! I too would have loved to see a video of him TRYING the rocking chair!!!
Mom sez: When I look at Kiska looking at Landon, all I can see on her face, or rather, in a “bubble” above her head is, “Seriously, Landon? I somehow don’t think so!”
Hu dad is forgetting that anything he claims as his, is really the Herd’s! I love how Kiska is watching, as if she’s saying “are you kidding me”? Makes me think of the song “5 little monkeys jumping on the bed”!
Hudad seems to have forgotten the siberian rules. If I see it and want it, its mine!
Gotta love your monkeys ????????
I would have loved to see a video of THAT!!
