Of Mice and Neighbors

Well, I'm finally getting around to another blog post.

I've still been moody.

The weather's been all over the place.

Sun, wind, rain, sleet, snow...you name it, we've had it.

The whole thing has made me less than content.

It doesn't help that nothing seems to go my way.

I've moped about in every way possible.

Despite my moping, the weather hasn't settled where I want it.

It's persisted in being mostly wet.

All I can do is try to find comfort in the small things.

Still, Mom tried to keep me included in her daily routine.

I went with her and Happy Girl on a daytime recon.

I hung out with her in the office.

However, sometimes there where just too many humans.

The small human also came around quite a bit.

So I took matters into my own hands.

Well, what did you expect?

I wasn't about to stand my ground in my condition.

And by 'condition' I mean mood.

Standing my ground was better left to other times.

Like every night when I try to get Mom and Dad to let me 

go on a nighttime recon.

Or when I catch the scent of that mouse.

Then I stand my ground for as long as I can.

I usually mind the barrier of the fence...

...until the mouse just becomes to irresistible.

Then I give it my best shot!

Unfortunately, the grass is too dense and the mouse

burrowed too deep.

Still, day after day I took up my post.

If the mouse wasn't showing itself, I would go

over to see if Felix was available to hang out.

If he was, then I'd greet him and settle in

to keep watch over the neighborhood.

I was content sitting there by Felix's window.

Felix, on the other hand, wanted to play.

That was probably the highlight of my month.

The lowlight, if there is such a thing, came this last Friday.

Mom left the house super early with 

Facetious Human and stayed out ALL DAY.

I get depressed when Mom leaves me for an hour.

So, when she left for the entire day, I became 

overcome with melancholy.

When she finally saw fit to come home,

I didn't let her out of my sight.

I hope she's learned her lesson.

Updates and Changes

So it's been about a month since my last blog entry.

I guess I'll take the time to bring you into my world.

I guess I should apologize for ignoring my devoted fans for so long.

I've been wanting to update you, but my human secretary has been

less than helpful.

February has been nice.

Of course, I'm referring to the weather.

Normally we're whisker high in snow this time of year.

I've been quite pleased to have temperatures in the 50ºs.

 I've enjoyed a few Caturday outings.

Of course, my favorite part of outings 

is coming back home. 

That's, by far, the most exciting part. 

 Mom even trusted me to walk from the car

to the house off-leash.

 Unfortunately, that just resulted in me having

to wait for my humans to catch up.

I have been able to get out to enjoy the nice weather,

but the ground has failed to dry out.

I hate wet paws!

 At least we've had some nice sunsets.

I've also had the pleasure of a soft

Star Wars blanket. 

With the weather being so nice I've been able to

go outside at night. 

 I also suspect there's a new kitty living with Tucker upstairs,

but I've yet to see her.

 The trouble with getting to do things you enjoy is that they come to an end.

I always feel less content than usual after getting a taste of something pleasant.

I've also been making visits to the office with Mom. 

I approve of the current arrangement of the furniture. 

 My chair has a nice view of the windows while still being

close to the doorway home.

I especially love the couch near the window when Mom sits next to me. 

The only problem is that she takes embarrassing photos of me with my tongue out.

 At least she gets some nice photos too.

I'm not quite as happy with the placement of the table.

I feel more exposed and Mom doesn't choose the seat by the window anymore.

 There's also been a change to the staff.

Nice Lady 2 is still here, but now she shares the office with a new girl.

I'll give her more time before I name this new human,

But I'm leaning towards 'Happy Girl'.

I've continued my stakeout on the suspected mouse in the tasty plant.

Sorry to report:  no luck so far. 

 The real news for this blog post is that I've taken to following

Mom around as she goes about her night job.

Now, if you follow me on Google+, you're already in the know.

I follow Mom right into the den of to the Maintenance Guys.

They're never in there at the time, so it's a good time to scope out the place.

Recently they left a tarp on the back of the golf cart.

Well! Something about the way it smelled piqued my interest. 

 I had to smell it from every angle.

 EVERY angle.

This is my face when I smell something extra stinky:

I hang my mouth open for awhile to process it.

Normally I reserve that face for my own butt.

I spent so much time smelling it I think it's best

to leave the remaining photos and GIFs as a sort of montage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahh yeah...so many interesting smells!

Mom had trouble tearing me away.

It makes me wonder how you all smell out there in the interwebs. 

 I guess I may never know.
