The Three Wonders of the World in our Own Backyard!

 

Didn't know that some of the wonders of the world were local, huh? The picture on the left shows our major wonder of the world. The dog that can get a screen door open without help and chew any and everything insight except for her chew toys. The lower picture in the right-hand corner is the Chick's water bowl. It started out as a very large plastic tub that could hold a lot a water. This is important especially when it get so hot so she has access to enough water. She woke us one night, panting and dehydrated. We went to fill her bowl only to find that SHE had dumped it, chewed on it, and left it in the far reaches of the yard.

The next day, my husband put one layer of bricks around the tub so she couldn't tip or yank it over. That night, she was again panting and dehydrated. The bricks had been physically removed and the water tub was off in the distance.

The third day, my husband put TWO layers of heavy bricks around the tub. We got got nights of uninterrupted sleep before she figured that one out. That is when the bricks were wired together. So far, she has only undone the wire once. We have hopes. The secured water tub is our second wonder of the world.

The third one, of course, is our former pool residence. We are hoping and praying that it will soon be buried and no longer on the list of personal wonders of the world. Hope the government doesn't decide it is some sort of sanctuary before we get that done!
