Calm Before the Storm- a quiet period immediately before a period of great activity or trouble. Would you like to see what that looks like?
The Calm.
Many musical types have sung about "The Calm Before the Storm": The Bats, Eddie Money, Sheena Easton, Fall Out Boy, Pet Shop Boys, Judas Priest, Jonny Cooke and many more.
Now would you like to see the STORM part?
Now would you like to see the STORM part?
The Storm
A Golden Storm
A BIG FLUFFY STORM!
See my friends every single day my MOM drops me off at Bert's place around 6:30 in the morning. And most every single day is about the same. MOM gives all of us doggies a yummy treat before she leaves for work (I get two treat, don't tell Bert). Then I take a nap. Then I go outside to stretch my old legs, I come back in and take another nap. Then around dusk I sit up and stare out the window watching for my MOM to come and get me. Long about 6 or 6:30 in the evening she opens the door and all the doggies rush to greet her. You could go deaf from all of us barking our greetings and jumping around and just plain going nuts for her attention. Aside from me no one is more happy to see my MOM than Bert. Lets just call him The Storm. I'm The Calm and he is The Storm. Every Single Day!! Miss Vickie took a video of the Storm in action.
Did I mention this happens Every Day??
Making a special appearance in this video is Scrappy, Oakley, Momma (Bert's mom), and Ellie.
In the end The Calm always gets the ball while the Storm can only look on in hopes that the Calm will drop the ball. And I do drop the ball for my Buddy Bert as I am walking out the gate to go home.
Blessings,Goose
