Every Friday morning, at 7 am, Kimbo joins me for breakfast.
The strange thing is that Billy knows he's coming. He sits by the back door and waits for him to arrive. He goes to the door at about 6.45 am; and patiently awaits his arrival (below was yesterday).
How he knows it's Friday, or how he knows that Kimbo will be arriving any minute, goodness only knows. It MUST be Canine ESP.
As usual we have a good belly-busting breakfast together. Bacon, Haggis, fried Egg, a few Mushrooms, and some mini Toms. We talk about the world's problems, and discuss how we can solve them.
He's off to France next week so our breakfast will be put on-hold for a week. No doubt at the cottage he'll find something delicious to eat instead. He doesn't deprive himself. We could, of course, have an international WhatsApp breakfast together; I shall have to arrange it.
Mutual plates such as yesterday's (above) will have to wait for his return. This one was especially good!
Maybe you have some 'tell' in your start to a Friday that Billie has picked up on, knowing it means Kimbo will visit. Interesting to know what happens with Billie next Friday.
ReplyDeleteYes, that'll be interesting! He's been doing the same for the past few weeks.
DeletePerhaps Billy knows that on the day you prepare a cooked breakfast Kimbo is coming. Assuming you don't have a cooked breakfast every day.
ReplyDeleteIt could be any number of things. On Fridays I leave my breakfast until 7 am, whereas it's usually 5 am. I expect he notices the difference.
DeletePerhaps Billy can smell Kimbo coming. Does he wear "Old Spice"? Kimbo I mean - not Billy!
ReplyDeleteHe wears 'Old Mice'; a more intriguing aroma.
DeleteThey know, they just know.
ReplyDeleteAs the others say it will be interesting to see what he does next Friday.
Your tradition is wonderful. A breakfast of champions with the most enjoyable company. Laid back, familiar, times to remember
You have it perfectly. We love our weekly rendezvous. Long may it last!
Deletemmm that egg looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteKimbo said it was my best breakfast yet! I agreed with him.
DeleteClever Billy! Did you manage to solve the world's problems yesterday over breakfast? If you did please let the leaders know!
ReplyDeleteMost of them; yes. Watch your TV screens!
DeleteCan I take Kimbo's place next week if you're going to serve up a breakfast like that!
ReplyDeleteYou would be very welcome.
DeleteMy Herbie sat in wait at the window for my mum to arrive every Friday - The window he chose was in a different room where he could see her approaching - not his usual viewing point - It broke my heart when I noticed him waiting for her one Friday and she never came again - flis x
ReplyDeleteThat's very sad. Dogs are so loyal. Billy just loves it when Kimbo comes to the house.
DeleteWhat a lovely thing to do each week. Great food, great company, great discussion. Very civilised. I love that photo of Billy such anticipation. Animals are wonderful. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteYes, our Friday mornings are really nice. Even Billy enjoys them.
DeleteWhen I married we would visit my parents on random Sundays, but the family dog would know when and sit at the front door waiting for us to arrive. They just know.
ReplyDeleteWhat clever beasts they are. It must be ESP. I'm sure Billy doesn't have a calendar.
DeleteBilly somehow knows that you are preparing for the visit. Quality time.
ReplyDeleteHe obviously picks-up on something. I didn't think I gave him any clues!
DeleteThe breakfast looks delicious. Does Billy get a special breakfast on Friday as well?
ReplyDeleteNo, he just goes back to sleep.
DeleteWill Billy figure out next Friday that Kimbo will not be coming that week? He is so faithful to sit and wait on the appointed day and time.
