It’s been all go around here! The fields are getting drier and I’m managing to drag her away from the ‘puter long enough for some really good walks lately. Not just on the hard stuff or through the woods either… we’ve gone miles and miles…
So, she needn’t take all the credit for the big birds and the furry things. It is only because of me that she saw them after all. And when you consider my self restraint while she watched and made silly noises and squeaks, I think it is a bit mean of her not to let me have the feathers. Just sayin’. She says it’s cause I ate the last ones they got… and she’s put these up high where I can’t reach. Last time she left them on the table…
Well no, I don’t normally just help myself to stuff on the table… but I have a thing about kite feathers… Don’t ask me why… I just love ‘em and I really want these ones… She left them on the little sideboard… and I could smell them… Sooo tempting…. I tried, but she’s put them even higher now…
I mean, it’s not as if she’s an ephelant … Dumbo… she’s not going to wave feathers and fly. Though if she sits too long she might end up looking a bit that way… sort of grey and round… 😛
Maybe we’ll find some more. I’m finding loads of stuff out there! It’s all nice and green again and though the grass is still short, there is plenty to see. There’s flowers… snowdrops, daffodils, crocuses… and all sorts of buds and stuff on the trees.
There’s ducks in the pond at the end of the lane too. Not that she will let me off the leash there, mind you. There are the big cars that come down there now. Still, give her some credit, my new leash is really, really long… I can explore a lot even with her dangling on the end of it. And the ducks are obliging 🙂
She did have a few words to say about that though. Things about why I will walk the length of the muddy stream or dive in the pond but run and hide at bathtime. It isn’t the same thing at all. Do I want to smell of flowery stuff? No. But mud and vegetation and foxes and stuff… well, that’s real perfume.
She just doesn’t get it though. While I come home, have a drink and just flop and grin, she just sits back down and starts again. What is wrong with you two legses? You really need to learn to chill better! And a few muddy footprints on the sofa are no big deal. It is my sofa after all…. Even though she seems to think it might actually be hers. Honestly, I despair of her sometimes…
She’s making stuff to eat… hmm… may have to investigate then take her out to walk the calories off again.
I’ll let her take the camera- thingy…
Much love,
Ani xxx

I totally understand Ani. My upright just doesn’t get it. She cannot understand why I love to go sniffing about and pawing under leaves. There might just be a little mouse there or some interesting bug. And when I come in all muddy pawed, she just makes odd noises and gets out the cloth to wipe them off. I mean, it isn’t like the floor can’t be mopped clean or the rug that looks much better with my personal marks on them? Right? Your walk sounds wonderful. We cats go off on our own but it does seem like to fun to drag the uprights about,hey? Much love, SamCat

Heya SamCat! Mine’s complaining about cats at present. Well, not cats precisely… just the ‘rope’ burn she got from the 6 yard leash when I saw Ginger… at least she stayed upright… I would never hear the last of it otherwise… 😉 Much love, Ani xxx

Well, the trouble is she wouldn’t let me go down to find out! Has to be either badgers or foxes and I’m sure they’d be friendly whatever she says… she can be a real spoilsport sometimes, you know 😉

I hope you did get to take her for a walk Ani! She will definitely need a very, very long and taxing one to work off all the potential calories she would no doubt be consuming! lol 😉 Better still take her for a nice long run through the fields and into the nice smelly muddy lakes!!! 🙂

She wouldn’tlet me in the pond… said it was too cold… as if 🙂 But I found some nice deep mud instead… so she let me in the stream rather than on the sofa… 😛 And as to the calories… well, I helped her out there too and shared 🙂
