Brilliant ideas come to you at odd times. But then sometimes brilliant is not the correct term.
Take Bootsie, he waits outside on the potting bench in the cold, and I feel bad about that. So I thought if I hung some jingle bells on the patio door, and taught him to ring them we would know when he wanted in.
After instructing Gar to only open the door slightly, reach down and ring the bells, before letting Bootsie in so he would catch on. I realized that it wasn't Bootsie who needed the training.
The bells were hung on a long string, that swung with the movement of the door, and immediately got caught in the door jam. Gar pushed, after all he is amazing strong, and then, voila, no more jingle bells.
And poor Bootsie, he will still have to wait outside.
And I am going to have to buy some new jingle bells.

Oh Dear! Perhaps Bootsie will come up with a solution. Lovely images of your Christmas wares. The dolls are precious. Carol
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great concept - just the details need a little tweaking ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour carollers are adorable.
I am pretty sure this was passive aggressive? No?
ReplyDeleteIt's still a good idea.
ReplyDeleteNo, Lori, I think it was just simply tuning me out when I explained it to him. And then he is just toooooo strong.

I go with the tweaking.lol

ReplyDeleteA wonderful lament to the foibles of the male gender. He will have to watch himself..... but his brute strength was probably his way of showing off in front of his favourite feline.... and I don't mean Bootsie! Wishing you and yours the happiest of holiday seasonal wishes.
I can't help but giggle. This seems like some of the plans I come up with that Nalley "squashes!"
ReplyDeleteGive Bootsie a treat from me!
Yes, the idea just needs tweaked a tad. Poor Bootsie! :-0 I love the first photo of the ornaments, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, dear Jen!
ReplyDeleteOops! Thanks for the giggle. And those photos are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIf only the walls in your house could talk, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Well Jen, Bootsie appreciated the thought anyway ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the caroling dolls.
Oh I don't have those ornaments! They are beautiful. Perhaps Gar should just sit by the door now and wait for Bootsie to want in! :)
