I forgive you

I was wrong … as it turns out Kaz and Sooz can buy my affection. My other Christmas present arrived this morning. I love it … I love it … I love it. I love it so much that I will even share it with them! Thank you for my desk … hereinafter known as Ollie Tedesco (I let them name it)!

Almost home alone … again … still

This is why I don’t like being here without anyone around to control that bl**dy elf!

If they think they can soften me up by giving me things for Christmas, they are sadly mistaken.  This does not make it okay for them to go away and leave me for days at a time!  Well, overnight … but they are still gone for days!  And yes, they do arrange for Aunty M to come and see me … but she isn’t them … and she usually reeks of carries the gentle scent of my arch nemesis MiMi.  But at least when she came while they were away in Ipswich this time, I was able to show her my caravan!! 

Yes, you heard me … a caravan … so now I can pack up and go whenever I want.  I don’t have to hang around in the bag waiting for them to take me with me. 

Waiting patiently in my bag so they will take me with them …

Come to think about it, I’m a little bit sad they didn’t let me go to Rosemary’s so I could have said I’d been somewhere too … but no, that’s not true … otherwise how would I get to see Aunty M.  I love Aunty M.  She is so kind and wonderful and she gives me the best pats and face rubs (are you listening Kaz and Sooz … are you getting jealous yet?  I hope so!) and I would live with her, in a hearbeat, if she asked me.  (Are you listening Sooz and Kaz … really, I’m not joking!)

It’s my fish … don’t even think of trying to get it off me! See those claws … I am not afraid to use them!

I bet Aunty M wouldn’t be taking photographs of me all the time because that’s sometimes all that it seems Kaz does.  And if she’s not doing it, she’s asking Sooz to do it for her.  Still, if she didn’t take as many photos, I wouldn’t have them to put on my blog.  (Aunty M would probably take better photos though … Kaz … are you listening?)
Heh heh … I know I’ve got the last laugh on them for leaving me here alone though … Aunty M left them some cookies the other day when she was here visiting me and they think she left them 10 of them … but did she?  Did she really … or did she leave more and I ate them … or hid them … or … stay tuned!

Yum yum yum … lovely bikkies … and I’m saying no more … I’m off to take a nap!

Fetch

I do not know what Kaz is thinking sometimes. Take today. She was in the bedroom doing the Trivia Quiz with Sooz – who had already beaten her in working out the 9-letter Target word – violently – that was the word not how she did it. Kaz has said Novelty but wasn’t even close! So, they’re in there and I go in to see what they’re up to and because I like them – even though they are still calling me the DESTROYER OF CHRISTMAS TREES (yes, me … imagine) and refusing to put decorations up, even though Kaz is talking about getting some snow for Olaf’s tree – I take in what’s left of my stringy thing (after Kaz ran over it with the vacuum cleaner) – as a gift for them, and what does Kaz do? She takes it from where I have gently (and lovingly) placed it at her feet, throws it out the bedroom door and shouts “Fetch”.  Fetch?  Really?  What does she think I am? A dog? Well, needless to say I didn’t run to do her bidding – and won’t be any time soon.

A tree, Olaf, me and a reindeer saying something rude like “I see what they mean about Nigey’s bum!”

They had their bags out earlier today – and from that and all their talk about “Rosemary” and “Nigey’s going on holidays” I knew something was afoot. They have been talking about the Lismore Christmas Lights and seeing Ja but I’d thought they were just going down for the day. Apparently not… but it doesn’t matter now because they’re not going after all. Apparently everyone is very excited about the Covid bug again – especially since it has been found in their poop water (why on earth do they keep it? And what are they doing with it to be worried about it once it’s in the place where they keep it? So many questions you’d have to think it would be so much easier if they just used litter trays!) And because they’re all excited again, the Government is closing the borders so people can’t get in: DO NOT COME they’re telling people who don’t live in Queensland; and to people who do live in Queensland who aren’t here at the moment, they’re telling them to hurry home while they still can. So Kaz and Sooz have decided to stay home… and I know they’re serious because the bags have been put away and Aunty M has been told she doesn’t have to pick me up from Rosemary any more.

They’re not the only ones with bags!

They still have done nothing about getting the back deck closed in – except to listen to Aunty M about not using cat netting without thinking about the size of the holes – it would keep me in but may not keep out other things that I could catch and take in to them as gifts. I bet they wouldn’t casually pick up a snake and throw it out the door for me to FETCH.  But wouldn’t it be fun to hear the screams!  

Me … looking after the Christmas tree they are keeping in Kaz’s office … and silently reflecting (get it … this is a mirror!)
Cat yoga … nah!
Keeping Kaz company in her office.
All hail the new Pizza Box. (Thanks Aunty M!)

DoCT!

Destroyer of Christmas Trees! That’s what they call me around here now … with a slight air of awe and maybe even pride I think. Let’s hear that again … Destroyer of Christmas Trees! I think my attempts to trick them into thinking I was just concerned about the trees and how they were settling in for the Festive Season may not have been as convincing as I had hoped. Drats. Especially as there is photographic evidence of me giving one of the trees a hug after it fell down!
