Well, yes, you might recognize that bad doggy, Mya, who is here to visit and is now following me around trying to make friends, but I’m just not up for it yet. Maybe I’m just a bad hostess.
She just keeps following and following and since I don’t know where I’M going, she probably doesn’t either, so I’m going outside.
Aha! She’s getting closer and I know she wants to come outside and do…what? Play? Get to know me? Oi vey.
Okay, Mya, your my guest. What do YOU want to do here?
And what the heck ARE you anyway?
Okay, I’ll be nice. See my nice night light that the grandanthros gave me for my garden? It’s a solar lamp, you dig?
She was totally uninterested. Well, we came back in for the communal watering hole…I guess I need to read up on this.
I know, I could show off a bit. Hey, Mya, watch me rabbit kick my nip mouse!!!
Totally uninterested…I’m climbing the walls!
I’m not sure I’m good at this Let’s Have a Friend Over To Play business…
Hey, Loulou, that’s that mat I gave you!
It certainly is, Mya, and thank you, but I can see you’re about to drink out of MY WATER DISH SO MAYBE IT’S TIME TO GO HOME!
Well, I’m leaving now, Loulou.
Yeah, yeah, goodBYE, Mya!
Gee, it’s sort of lonely without a friend visiting…
Maybe I’ll know what to do next time.
I think you did great entertaining Mya. I’m not too afraid of doggies either. Especially if they are calm and respectful. My brother doggy, Buddy, is calm also but he is so old he just ignores me when I try to play with him.
Well, next time will be a bit better. You cannot get to know doggies instantly.
Loulou, you are quite tolerant. There’s no way we would ever allow a dog in our house.
Oh, you would LOVE Mya. So sweet and so calm and so hoping to be loved by kitties.
Oh, Loulou – you’re such a good hostess!! And letting me play with your toys and sharing your catnip. WOOWOOOO!!!!! And your mama is the BEST – she sneaks me little food-bits. AND, I sneaked my own in the garden, where those fabu cherry tomatoes grow. Mama caught me pulling them off the vine and woofing them down and made me go inside. But where was your food bowl? Well, hey, I wouldn’t share mine either. It’s OK. Maybe next time you’ll try the poussette.
Do you think a class on how to behave around guests would help you when Mya comes to visit? Have you tried offering her a toy to play with?
Oh, Jan, you would have laughed your head off. I gave her my hardest toy thinking it would be fine to play with but after the crunching noise we all heard, her mama took it away–we were afraid for her little teeth!!! So I did try.
Gosh LouLou – too bad your playdate didn,t work out better, I know you and Mya are good friends – maybe a ride in her stroller next time ? But you might have to share – at least some of your water.
Oh, I was just kidding about the water. I put the water out for Mya when she comes over so she will at least have THAT instead of my food. But MAMA GIVES HER TREATS!!! Asking her mama and papa first, of course. Maybe I’ll give her a treat next time and we can get along better.
