They are still here … although they do go out for a little bit sometimes, Kaz more than Sooz though. Hardly anyone ever comes either – except for the man from Amazon, and the man from OfficeWorks, and Anya, and Aunty Mejrem.

Anya is the only one who comes inside though. She’s nice and all but I really want Aunty M to come inside and give me a face rub. Oh My Goodness, doesn’t that sound like something from The Wizard of Oz … Aunty M, Aunty M. But Aunty M doesn’t come in … not even to see Sooz and Kaz … she stands out in the front yard and talks to them through the window. She leaves things on the front porch for them too … yesterday it was some of her mother’s borscht – that’s a kind of Russian soup made with beetroot, although Sooz said that this one tasted very tomatoey. I noticed that there wasn’t any left after dinner though!

It was good to see Anya today … but I wasn’t sure when Kaz offered her some of my boxes … the ones that the Amazon man and the OfficeWorks man had dropped off for me. Kaz really should ask my permission before giving away my stuff. But if they’re going to give it away to anyone … I’m glad it’s Anya – her son makes things out of cardboard boxes. She couldn’t fit all of them in her car today so Kaz is keeping a couple in the garage for her for next time she comes.

It’s hard keeping Sooz and Kaz entertained these days. I’ve started playing in, around and behind the venetian blinds – they don’t like that much – and sleeping in all manner of places.

I wish Kaz would stop taking photos of me though … she’s doing it on her tablet, on her phone, with the camera … she does not give me a moment’s peace. I have taken to hiding to get away from her … and I am getting really really good at it. Sometimes she and Sooz spend quite a lot of time looking for me … and as long as they don’t rattle the cookie jar or open the door to the outside, I’m usually able to resist their call. Kaz has been trying to put the harness on me again. I keep telling her I’m not interested but she says I’ll like it because once I have it on, I can go outside. Hmmm … I may just think about that for like a nano-second.
