The Three Amigos Run The Roosts
This is just a random hub featuring some curiosity and chaos inspired creativity; something which is acquired and inspired by sharing my life with these 3 cute furpals and the 5 mini humans, 4 hens, another mum and multiple grandma's they herd.
The Three Amigos are:
a giant horse-dog named Maddie, AKA Maddikins the Wolfhound;
a Jack Russell named Jack Jack AKA Batman;
and a Jill Russell named Sally.
Jack Jack and Maddikins are all grown up now and together constitute a dynamic duo who share my queen size bed, although Jack Jack and I are frequently ejected in the middle of the night when Maddie has a good stretch.They are Laird and Lady of their pet humans: 2 mini mes, me, and grandma... Maddie and Jack Jack also keep the frogs, doves and magpies inline, ensuring boundaries are secure and borders patrolled.
Sally is now the queen of her own castle, and she wears her crown with aplomb and pizazz while she runs her own roost at a family friend's of ours home (she is the boss of 1 adult, 3 mini humans, a crazy chihuahua and a chicken run full of hens....)
We all need somebody to look up to...
Aspire to Inspire
Whether to show us the way, teach us the wrestling moves, lead the dance or just inspire us; role models, teachers, friends and sparring partners are important and parents should lead by example and always choose other minders and teachers wisely....
Youngsters develop at their own pace; the important thing is that they have opportunities available to them...
The young like to experiment by getting their groove on...
We learn while we play....
Friends are Important
We all need a friend or two, for when we need a hand or are feeling blue...
Good company can create memories that last a life time...
Whether trying to survive an existential crisis, or seeking answers to questions about life and the universe, friends are essential for a solid outcome...
We all need an ear to bend at times...
Friends like to rant and rave out loud to each other....
Just don't take me literally....
Trust, loyalty and solidarity
The importance of friends and family is a meaningless concept without including things like trust, loyalty and solidarity in times of crisis and stress....
It's not the tails that count, it's the tales that count...
Sometimes it's nice to know there are other souls out there looking out for you....
Trust is knowing your friends have your back...
Curiosity and Chaos
When it comes to parenting, mentoring, minding or baby sitting, be prepared for curiosity and chaos... and NOISE; did I mention noise?
Whether animal or human, youngsters are noisy and require supervision at all times....
ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you do will be observed with unbridled curiosity and intense scrutiny...
Try not to be one of those "embarrassing parents"....
Corny jokes are as important as making sure nobody gets left behind or forgotten...
With a little kindness, insecurities can be turned into character and confidence....
Ironic Cliches and Shared Secrets
Contrary to popular belief, ironic cliches are not redundant; they will live on forever in the poignant moments of life and shared moments of secrecy...
Nicknames should be an awesome celebration of gifts and/or quirks...
Good luck trying to keep those midnight snacks a secret....
There is wisdom in the sayings "don't bite off more than you can chew" and "never grab a tiger by the tail"...
Laughter is best shared...
The final cliche
You know it ain't over til the cute puppies sing!
