I am not happy today. There are strange men next door. They have loud machines. They took away a big pile of branches where tasty critters hide. They knocked down one of the trees and cut it up into little pieces and made even more noise. There aren’t going to be any critters around for weeks.
And those geese! I can’t even walk along the bulkhead if they are around. They start screaming and flapping their wings. They look ridiculous. And they haven’t even laid their eggs yet! I am most certainly NOT going to swim over to the island. I’d get wet for crying out loud! I could walk over when the tide is extra low, but then I would get my feet all muddy. YUK! Yuk. Yuk. Yuk. YUK!!

Poor poor Maude. Too bad you couldn’t visit my house. I live on the edge of town and you could go and catch yourself a nice fat gopher or a prairie dog or maybe even a rabbit if you felt particularly energetic. There are lots of wild rabbits around here. I bet you would not be stupid like my dog and eat the rabbit’s turds. Stay away form those geese. They are mean.
