Snickers doesn't like rainy weather. We were in our second day of storms here. Snickers spends most of his time cowering in the closet on days like today. Snickers does not like to go outside to take care of business when it rains.
Pepper is our one year old African Red Bellied parrot. Pepper is learning to talk. You never know what Pepper might say.
As I’m preparing for my morning shower I walk across the bedroom floor. The bedroom has dark brown hardwood floors. The bedroom floor is the color of…well…I’ll get to that in a moment. Now, where was I…oh yes, I am walking across the bedroom floor. I am stark naked. I was about to get in the shower, remember? I feel something warm and squishy on the bottom of my foot. I then realize I have stepped in…well…something the color of the bedroom floor. Snickers is in the bedroom I recall. I take another step. Now both feet feel warm and squishy.
I didn’t know what to do, so I used up every cuss word I had in my vocabulary — and a few I didn’t know I had in my vocabulary. I cussed very loudly in hopes that my wife would hear me and come to my rescue. She did.
My wife leaves to get the mop and disinfectant. She passes by Pepper (the parrot) in the other room.
Pepper says, “Good boy, SNICKERS!”
