Month: July 2022

It’s Saturday again which means the Mummies are going out to breakfast with Aunty M.  Aunty M was here the other day to pick up M Sooz so they could go to breakfast – which meant M Kaz was here giving me her undivided attention – and that’s the way I like it … uh huh … uh huh.  I’m not usually musical but M Kaz has been listening to music as she works out what to transfer from her computer to her phone … I can’t say I’m a fan of all of it but there is some … uh huh … uh huh … I like it.  And it’s just as well I do because while she’s been doing it I’ve either been hanging around on the desk or at her legs … yes, kissing and cuddling … which is why she’s talking about having my claws trimmed when I go to see Aunty Rosemary next … although word is that Aunty M has said she could do it for me.  And why don’t M Kaz or M Sooz do it for me? I know they have the clippers here (somewhere!) … I think it’s because they’re scared of me, which is a bit odd because I really am a wonderful Nigey. 

I’m so wonderful that I’ve been spending time in on the bed with them – and with the new box that M Sooz gave me. Actually, she’s given me two boxes this week – one she brought home for me from our favourite store (Aldi) and the other which came in the mail with her new Marion Grasby cook book – Always Delicious.  It’s funny because M Kaz keeps calling it Almost Delicious. She’s silly sometimes. 

Plans are afoot to have the back deck filled in so we can all go out there and relax.  M Kaz has started “practice sitting” out there … so she can work out how it will feel once it is enclosed – I think she’s actually trying to work out where the sliding fly screens/shades are going to go so she can make sure she can still get the best direct sunlight during the winter.  

It’s good helping the Mummies and I was helping M Kaz update her diary yesterday and I was in keeping M Sooz entertained as she was reading.  I like to try to spend equal time with them both!

So, baby Pea Hen chicks over the next block, hey M Kaz? I’d really love to go see them, and play with them. No, you don’t have to worry about me wanting to eat them. You know I only like seafood flavours.

M Sooz wasn’t “watching me like a hawk” (whatever that is … if you want to know you’ll have to ask the Mummies) and when she opened the front door when they were going out to the Post office and breakfast this morning, I was off like a shot … which means pretty darn fast. It’s a pity no-one told me it was raining before I made it outside. I took shelter under the bench as I waited for them to come get me and thankfully it didn’t take too long. They called for me to come out, which I did, and then I bolted for the front door. I personally think M Kaz is right to be cautiously alarmed when I go into the yard without my harness and lead. She knows that, at any given moment, I am just one thought away from making a break for it. That’s just what Nigeys do.
