I can’t believe how unreliable and what a liar Kaz is. Is that harsh? Perhaps but … Thursday she said she would take me outside … she didn’t. Friday she said she’d take me out … she did not. Same thing Saturday. I’m really wondering now if I can trust her. Yes, yes, of course she had her reasons – but if she was being truthful she would call them “excuses”. What does it matter if it’s raining outside (well, cloudy) or if she’s planning to go out somewhere “soon” or … whatever it is. She’s told me that I can go outside as long as that 4H (hot, horrible, hairy harness) is on – and I’ve been doing my part, I really have – regardless of what they say. And, no, I have no intention of just stepping into that 4H each time … Kaz has to work for it too.
But we did go out for a short while this morning – not long after they came back from breakfast down at the Broadwater. She popped the harness on me almost as soon as they returned and out we went. It was a lovely sunny day and I had a wander back and forth up and down the yard, rolled around on the concrete path, ate a little grass, smelled a geranium or two, and then asked to be let back in. Hopefully next time she’ll give me a bit more warning before she insists we go out … so a girl has time to do what a girl needs to do. Hmmm.
I managed to sneak back into the bedroom the other night – just as Kaz was about to go in there for the night. I raced her up the hallway and dove under the bed before she could get in the room and close the door with me on the wrong side of it. I managed to stay under the bed and out of their clutches for nearly an hour and a half – best effort ever! I have to give it to Sooz – she managed to stay awake until I slithered out from under there (they really do need a higher bed!) while Kaz slept peacefully – I know this as I was sitting on her bedside table watching her just before Sooz scooped me up and popped me out!
OMG … OMG… I almost forgot … they have bought me a new toy! They are keeping it in the laundry – it’s quite big and it needs to be hooked up to the water. It’s my very own washing machine – and I love it. I sit on it and because it has a glass lid, I can watch it fill up with water and then wash their clothes. Or I would if Kaz let me stay in there with it … but no, they think I’ll turn it off while I’m walking on it. I wouldn’t … I like watching it go round too much.
Nooo … Kaz is talking about the possibility of them going into lockdown again. I hope she’s wrong but she says that all of NSW is now in lockdown and given how non-compliant folk are, it’s only a matter of time before they need to take more precautions here.
