Mischief Monday on a Tuesday - We got the pie.
Lady had a horrible last Wednesday. It wasn't her day and nothing went right. She was relieved she survived and got home. She was relieved until she opened the door and found this:
Glass on the pillow by the front door,
glass on the kitchen floor,

more glass on the kitchen floor.
In fact there was glass everywhere. You see, Lady left the last piece of apple pie on the counter and didn't push it back far enough and we were sure she wanted us to eat it, so we helped ourselves. The only problem with this is we broke the pie plate and got glass everywhere. There were little pieces all over the kitchen, dining room and front hall. It took Lady over an hour to clean it up. She was not happy. When she found the bloody paw prints, she was worried, but an inspection of our paws and mouths didn't show any major cuts, so she assumed we just got little ones that were ok.
While she was cleaning it up, the nursery rhyme, 3 little kittens who lost their mittens was going through her head, but unlike those kittens, we got our pie!

National Novel Writing Month
November is National Novel Writing Month and we have been asked by Rocco to participate in a round robin story. We are really excited about his.
To see part one of the story go to: http://roccoshouse.com/nanowrimo-officially-starts-today/
Part 2 can be found at: http://bongodogblog.com/2013/11/02/nanowrimo-for-dogs/
Without further ado - here is our "chapter":
It is very fortunate that I have been practicing my digging all summer by helping in the yard. My owner is going to wish he hadn't scolded me for all that practice, it is what may save him tonight. Although I admit, it is not as fun to be digging through the hard ground as it was to dig up his flowers or groundhogs. But I will keep going, I must find him.
After what seems like forever, my tired paws have finally made a hole large enough for me to wiggle through. I wiggle through and shake myself off at the other side. I do a quick sniff to check the peemail and to get my bearings. I leave some peemail so he will know I went this way if he happens to come home before I find him.
It is very dark, and I feel nervous as I make my way down the street. Soon I reach a clump of trees and decide to go through here. My nose tells me this is the place we visited this morning on our walk. It also tells me that something else has been here. I sniff and sniff and try to place the smell. It smells big and wet and a little spicy. I don't like the smell of it, but I must keep going to find him.
I am proceeding through the park at a trot when a sound stops me dead in my tracks. I jump with a start when I hear it. It is a crashing sound coming from behind. I freeze for a minute, deciding what I should do next.

Feline Friday - The Mat:
First the cats would like to thank me for not dressing them up this year. I thought about it, but thought they have both lived 18 years and should enjoy a year without being dressed up. I warned them if they made it to their 19th Halloween, we will be going full out!
Last week I was excited to receive my order from Mollie and Alfie's shop. If you haven't gone, I suggest checking it (click on the name in the last sentence and it will take you to their site). They have lots of fun things! I had intended this purchase to be a gift, thinking my cats were too old to enjoy it. (Don't worry Panda and Loops, I will get you something). I took it out of the bag to look at it and immediately had 2 cats on it. They love it so much, that I decided to keep it. It has replaced their pillow and basket sleeping place on the counter.
Since we got it, our Kitty Nip Mat, it has been very well used.
Here is Baggy, resting after a snack.
Thank you Mollie and Alfie, it is the purrfect place to rest! The cats give it 4 paws out of 4! (And the dogs have not taken it off the counter and destroyed it yet, so win, win!)
