LISTEN UP, YOU GUYS!
Well, THEY are on the way back and here’s my plan for THEIR return so I hope THEY are reading this.
Or else.
- Clean my outdoor watering hole because the riot we had on Sunday may have, er, muddied the waters a bit.
- Wash food and water bowls spotless and fill with the appropriate ITALIANTREATS you have brought me (ciambelle, prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella, you know, the usual)
- Check my bedding to make sure it is in the proper position for me to leap upon and go to dreamland–it gets a bit skewed after several jumps and I’d like it straightened up perfectly.
- Re-fill all toys with FRESH NIP from the garden. That means un-sewing all toys, filling, and re-sewing so that none escapes. A brand new one would not be rejected.
- Get Mya on the phone to ask when she might visit our neck of the woods to help me clean up some of the party debris.
- Pay attention to the fact that I am skulking around, pouting in the garden and not coming when called and may not for several weeks.
- Except to eat.
Well, I think that’s about it. Oh, sure, I know you have to unpack, put away things, do hundreds of errands and make calls and shop for food (I have food, but you have none here, haha), check the garden, stake the tomatoes, water the potted plants, and I am very aware that getting back from anywhere THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ME is hell on earth, but too bad. I come first around here from now on.
Well, at least a few days.
Bienvenu! Welcome back, mama and papa and I hope to heck you do not find the mouse roly-poly crumbs under your bed. Make that, our bed.
Actually, I think they are behind one of mama’s paintings. She’ll never notice unless they start to…er…decompose.
Oh, and the Cuvee Kitty 1959 nip juice bottle might have receded a bit, but we watered it pretty well, so you probably won’t notice.
Off to sulk.
*****
And a little ecology lesson for all you doggies out there.
Cats rock!
Well, things will be back to normal soon. Loulou.
I am being so aloof, they are very worried.
Ah Loulou, good to see things are getting back to normal !
Yes, whatever normal means around here.
YES – Loulou – don’t forget to sulk – no matter what! It’ll get you more nip and cuddles!! Well, I’m coming after the 20th july for a few days, so DON’T let them clean the crumbs off the floor until THEN!!! And manage to trip up Mama so she spills some of that good stuff on the floor and you and I will Party like the 60s (we weren’t around and I’m not sure our mamas remember those years) BUT will you share your nip? I’m not sure what it does for terriers but maybe if I nibble it with a bit of Merlot…..? You’re my fave partner in crime!!!
Hey, terriers and Merlot, rock! Mama has to leave on the 23rd for just a few days. Hope you make it before then….
Well, gees Loulou, Grandma Ros keeps inviting you to come hang with her when your Mama and Papa go off chortling around the globe – just a quick flight and you’d be here – all snuggled up in/on Grandma’s bed. Lots of nice fresh sea breeze, geckos by just about the millions for you to get to know .. you could teach them about pooing outside?
Yes?
Gechos poo INDOORS??? Argggg. They definitely need my lessons.
You are going to be BUSY! We hope your mama and papa appreciate all you do to accommodate them. )
Well, I cleaned up everything and managed to look at them with a You are WHO? look when they came in last night. And today my sitter came by and I ran to the door to greet her. Mama was a bit upset…but later I brought THEM a gift. A birdie. First one I’ve ever killed. And mama said “thank you” and all was well. But mama does not like little dead pretty birds. Still, it was a present.
