Frankly, it is about time that she got herself out of my seat and let me back at the keyboard… first she goes away for ages… then comes back, smelling of really interesting things… and writes about it for ages… Then she says she’s off again. “Won’t be long, girlie,” she says. Yeah, right. Heard it all before. She says it every morning and she’s always ‘long’ Prob’ly the nearest to ‘tall’ she’ll ever get… and she has the cheek to call me small…
She needn’t think she can bribe me with cheese or that ham stuff either! Well, she can try…as often as she likes for me! But it’s not going to work… Not even the new tennis balls….
Still, I did have a great time with Gooch and the boys… I never mind playing with them for a few days… But I have her right where I want her now…feeling guilty… all poorly and needing cuddles. That’ll teach her for abandoning me while she goes off gallivanting.
I mean, she looked like a mole when she finally came home. Her eyes were all weird. That was bad enough. Now she looks like a hamster… No, not that one.Nothing to do with me….

Not all cute and fluffy either…

Though if you saw her in the mornings with the wild hair these days….

And my lips are sealed as far as this one is concerned…

No, she looks like this one. Minus the carrot… but with the cheek.
Image source
She’s been moaning about it for days. She looks better now than she did… but even so… she keeps wandering round with ice on her face. And she thinks that entitles her to share my sofa! Cheek! (oops!)
Still, it’s no use kidding myself is it? She only has to look at me with those sad brown eyes and I can’t help it…She looks so pathetic I can’t help giving her a cuddle. I am a dog after all, we don’t hold grudges… not silly ones.
But don’t tell her I said so.
In fact, you’d better not tell her I’ve been on here at all…
Not if she sees the pictures…
Much love,
Ani

So good to here from you, Ani. I’ve missed your sarcasm. Can dogs be sarcastic? Anyway, it seems you like hamsters and that one is decidedly cute. Not as cute as you, mind. Do demand more tennis balls. After such abuse, you should get a whole can!

I agree entirely… I mean, I have less than a dozen tennis balls left! mainly because i ate the last one, but what else am I supposed to do if all she does is moan and not throw them?
She won’t buy me a hamster though 😦
Probably even less so if she looks at her blog today 😉

Hi Ani! I am glad you are back! Is old Ginger still keeping his distance? Haha. Stupid head next door doesn’t come close to my sitting post any more. We know what to do, right? And your secrets are safe with me, always. Eyes and paws crossed. And keep working it with that droopy routine. The uprights have to be taught a lesson sometimes. We still love them though. Love and hugs from SamCat.

Dear Ani, Is your human trying to make a better nest? That’s what hamsters do when their faces get all puffy like that! Silly human 😉 My human is really good at piling things up so she doesn’t need to chew paper to add to it. There is more than enough paper around. And cloth piled in heaps. When she gets home it goes everywhere. When she burrows in it she needs to hibernate. Is your human getting enough hibernation time in? I hope she gets better again and indulges your need for a tennis ball servant… I mean attendant…. Love and purrs, Elfstone Chestnut Pussycat

My dear Elfstone, What are you doing talking to a DOG? I will have to tell MY human. Except I need to wake her up first. Your human is on the clicky thing. On the other hand I can wake your human up easier in the middle of the night when it’s time to remind them to feed me something….
