Close to Mom is Best

Yesterday I tried to start off my day in

the usual manner.

I climbed up into my Ultimate Box of Rebellion

so I wouldn't have to go with Mom on the usual rounds.

There was one problem.

It was a windy day...and there were leaves 

blowing across the grass outside.

They were SO distracting!

Well, even though Mom initially went without me,

she came back.

By then I couldn't resist but to come down and

run outside to look at the leaves.

So Mom took me with her to the Nice Ladies' office.

She said something strange on the way there.

"It'll be better this way."

Well, what does THAT mean?

When I got into the office I began to understand

that something was indeed amiss.

For one thing, there were these boxes full

of light bulbs.

Mom explained that they were changing all the 

light bulbs in all the apartments for more energy

efficient ones.

Let's be honest.

I have absolutely no idea what that means.

All I heard was, "The Maintenance Guys and 

some strangers will be invading my home so 

it's better if I stay in the Nice Ladies' office for now."

So I went and sat under the Christmas tree.

Then Mom put a chair next to hers,

and I enjoyed some much deserved affection.

After awhile Tornado Girl showed up and 

we went back home.

Mom's attention was taken, so I sat on a  

chair under the dining room table.

Then Wednesday Guy came and took them away.

I was terribly lonely.

I once again resorted to putting Mimzy in my food bowl.

Even with Mimzy there, I didn't eat much.

Let's face it, she's a poor replacement for Mom 

watching over me.

So, as soon as Mom came home,

I ate with her watching over me AND 

Mimzy in my bowl.

Once Mom and Daddy settled onto the couch for

the evening, I did too.

At last, things were as they should be.
