Yawn....nothing like a big stretch to get you going after a long lazy nap. Suppose I better get up and see what's going on. Hold on, just have to scratch behind my ear a bit....ah...that's better. Maybe I'll just stretch out here again while I think of something to do. I might go outside and scare a few birds, show them who's boss. Or I might have a look out the front window and see if that pesky cat from across the road is lying in the flower bed again, and stand in the window menacingly staring at her, or I might chase a few flies for some fun. No, I get bored with that, they fly up high where I can never get them. Or, I might go and investigate what's on the menu for today, see has it changed since yesterday. They have no imagination with my food, it's the same thing in the same bowl in the same place at the same time, every day! Or, I might just lie here and have another yawn or a stretch or a scratch or a nap....
I can hear some chatting from the two in the other room, one of them, the small blond one, is looking at that silver thing that she sometimes has on her lap, she never wants to go for a walk when she is looking at that thing, so I don't like it. I try talking loudly to her, but that makes her hands go up over her ears and her hair stand on end, well it always stands on end as far as I can see, and she has the cheek to complain about mine being all over the place! The tall dark one is lying on the couch, watching that square thing in the corner that has the funny colours and makes noise. It makes more noise than I do, but they never give out to it!!
Sometimes, when the small blond one is not here, the tall dark one lets me up beside him on the couch.....but when the blond one comes in I have to jump off quickly, act all innocent, run over to her and sort of pretend that I am happy to see her, oh the indignity! She never notices that I've been on the couch, but she does put her hands on her hips and speak to the tall dark one in a loud voice, he just laughs....I don't understand what the big deal is anyway, they spend all their time lying on the couch so why can't I?
Actually, I'm feeling a bit energetic, I think I'd like something to play with. I know, I'll get one of those nice soft things that those two put on the end of their legs, they are good for chewing and throwing in the air. And I know just the place to get one. Hmm...the only thing is, it could prove a bit difficult tho, as after I've retrieved it, I'd have to get it past the two legged creatures. Nothing like a challenge, or a cat to chase, to get me out of my bed!
OK, I'm off my bed, give myself a quick scratch and a shake, quietly does it now, walk past the two of them and don't make eye contact. I wish my feet wouldn't make such a clicking noise on the floor, maybe I should wear some of those things they put on their feet, instead of playing with them. Made it to the stairs, they don't seem to have noticed me. Up the first flight, quick pause at the top to look back and see if they have spotted me. I can hear laughing, but no one is following, right, up the next flight. And hurrah! I've made it to Mecca, the place where the dark one sleeps. (Sometimes when the blond one goes to work and forgets to close the kitchen door, I come up here and have a nap with the tall dark one). And what a load of treasure there is for me here. Soft fluffy things all over the floor, some of them look like they have been here for a while! Oh no, I can't decided, too much choice, and I don't have much time. Should I go for a white one or a black one. Or a white one with a black stripe, or a black one with a white stripe. I stand still and listen, do I hear movement from downstairs? Quick just grab the nearest one and make a speedy getaway. A white one it is, and down the first flight in double quick time. Now, this is where it gets tricky....
I stand at the top of the last flight of stairs and wait for a minute, listening, all is quiet. They seem to be whispering about something. I make my way slowly down the next flight, and peep round the banister. The're not looking at me and they are laughing at something, good, they don't seem to have noticed me. I'll just nip in behind this chair, careful not to drop the soft fluffy thing. Well whatever is keeping them occupied must be very funny, because they are laughing their heads off now, and it's helping me make my escape. I'm going to have to be fast now.....right.....over the arm of the couch......under their legs.....through the door.....across the kitchen.....heading for the back door... . they've noticed, and they are after me....nearly there.....the garden is in sight......don't look back.....made it.....DAMN!! The door's locked, grrr, should have checked that before I tried to make my escape.....turn around slowly.....they are behind me now.....quick, drop the fluffy thing.....(no evidence, no crime).....dart under the kitchen table. I'll just sit here looking innocent.
The blond one picks up the fluffy thing, the dark one picks me up. The blond one is talking again with her hands on her hips, what's her problem, maybe the dark one is in trouble!!
I'm certainly not in trouble cos I am now on the couch beside the dark one being tickled for being such a clever dog!! I think, after all that excitement, that a nap is in order.....
