Mysterious Monday

Here is a Mystery Object. Can you guess what it is? (Hint: it's related to my dinner.)



And the answer is... it's my dinner bowl!

I'm still a bit scared of my ceramic bowl, so I've been getting my dinner in these cute little plastic containers. If the dinner is particularly yummy, I try to eat the container as well - it's a compliment to the chef, really.



I'm very artistic, don't you think?

... behind you!

Oh my goodness! I'm sure you've been hearing all about how the Scarlet Puppynickel is roaming the world committing dastardly deeds.

JD and Max blogged about it a few days ago, and lots of other puppies have since told their story about how the Scarlet Puppynickel stole into their homes, destroyed things, and then disappeared without a trace...

Well, I have to report that the Scarlet Puppynickel has also visited me - and I managed to get a picture of him!

A few days ago, I discovered, to my horror, that he had caused a bookalanche...



... and I knew he'd be back, because he clearly hadn't had time to finish chewing the books before they all fell down.

So I lay in wait, backed up my faithful friends Rat, Pink Elephant, Grey Elephant and Pink Thing Toy. He arrived, as we knew he would, and immediately set to chewing the books. We waited until he had moved on to chewing the rug, and then we got his picture!

As you can see, the Scarlet Puppynickel is a master of disguise, and looks almost exactly like me!



He ran off immediately, of course, and I couldn't catch him. He's obviously studied under Houndini and is also a master of escape.

Gosh, he's such a romantic, dashing figure, I almost hope he steals into my home again... I don't think I should be worried... should I...?

Cats are weird

Recently, when we were at the vet, I made friends with one of the kittens in the display case they have there.

My human said we looked really cute - I had my nose to the glass, and was wagging my tail, and the kitten was rubbing up and down against the glass where I was standing. My human and I considered bringing the kitten home to live with us, but in the end we decided we aren't really set up for a kitten just now.

Tonight when we went for our walk we came across a cat who didn't run away from me. They usually run away from me, when I just want to play with them, and then I get all agitated because I want to catch up with them and my stoopid human won't let me.

But this cat didn't run away from me, it came up and sniffed me, and I sniffed it back. And I wagged my tail, and it kept turning around and brushing its tail across my nose, and we were becoming very good friends.

So I went into my "play with me" crouch, and bounced around a few times in a very inviting manner, and then... the cat hissed and tried to claw me! I couldn't believe it!

Of course, we vacated the vicinity immediately, but I kept on looking back at the cat, I couldn't quite believe what had happened - I'm such a gregarious little puppy, and all I wanted to do was make friends.

We passed the cat on our way back. It kept trying to lure me closer to it, but I wasn't going to be fooled as easily this time. My human patted it, and it didn't try to claw her - but I still didn't want to go near it. When we walked past I stayed as far away from it as my leash would let me.

I'm a little bit glad we're not really set up for a kitten right now.
