This Ladies Of Hive Contest couldn't have come at a better time, and the first question certainly seemed designed for me! It doesn't happen every time I watch the contest that a question stands out so clearly. Today that was the case...

1️⃣ What was the last photo you took? Share it with us and tell the story behind it!

Something Completely Different

This morning when we woke up and opened the curtains, we were surprised by our view. The view here is normally quite dreary at this time of year. Seeing the same field every day, with the same row of trees behind it every day, can get boring after more than 10 years. But don't think that it can never provide some variety. Unfortunately, we don't see it often, but sometimes you are surprised by wild animals that suddenly walk past your house. Sometimes it is a stray hare or a few rabbits, a few times a year we see deer walking across that field, and other times a cat quickly passes by. And very occasionally you are surprised with something completely different.

LOOK There!

When my partner opened the curtains, he didn't have his glasses on yet. Besides, it was still early, and that probably explains why he suddenly said to me, "Quick, look outside! Is there a wolf on the field?" Needless to say, I suddenly became very active. I jumped up and looked out the window, since it was a very long distance away I didn't see what it was at first, but it still seemed very strange to me that it would be a wolf. After all, I had never heard of wolves in my hometown. However, it would not be completely illogical because wolves have been seen about 15 kilometers from here, and one of the wolves was also killed. I quickly grabbed my phone and took a picture. When I looked at that photo I started laughing and showed the photo to my partner. It was not a wolf, but two big dogs.

And seeing these two dogs made us laugh even harder because these are not unknown dogs to us. No, they are not our dogs. But we have seen these dogs before. And we also know that they are two sweet dogs that wouldn't hurt a fly. How do we know that? That's another story.

Throwback In Time

When we first moved here, the people around here didn't know anything about us, but they did know that we had four dogs. One Saturday evening we were relaxing on the couch, with all four of our dogs around us, watching TV when the phone rang. It was our landlord who asked us if we had lost some of our dogs. My partner looked at me and asked if all the dogs were inside. I looked around the living room and counted four dogs. "Yes, all the dogs are here, why? What is it?". My partner informed the landlord that we were not missing any dogs and asked what was going on.

It turned out that two large dogs had dived into the shed at our neighbor's house and were eating their dog food. They didn't dare go there because they were such big dogs and thought they were two of our dogs. Or at least we wanted to take a look, because now our neighbor across the street and her children no longer dared to go outside. Armed with a dog leash, treats, and a flashlight, we went outside. On the way to the neighbors across the street and once we arrived in the driveway, we started shouting cheerfully. Two large Great Danes immediately came running enthusiastically around the corner and very kindly pushed their snouts into our hands. We put collars on both of them and there we were, the dog catchers. LOL.

When the neighbors across the street saw that the dogs were very friendly and enthusiastic, they also came outside and dared to pet their unexpected visitors. We saw that they were wearing an address tube and called the telephone number. The man was happy that they were back and came to pick up the dogs, although he also let slip that this was not the first adventure of these cuties.

Hopefully, Their Sunday Adventure Ended Well

And the latter is evident once again today. Unfortunately, we couldn't convince them to come to us today to reunite them with their boss. Hopefully, their Sunday adventure ended well today.
