Gloomy me & my wet paws
October 16, 2000

Thank you Mr. Norm and family.

I thought today was going to be a really bad day. It was rainy and gloomy all day. Then, it got chilly and down right cold. Mommy took forever to feed me. Then, Aunt Nancy called and said she had something for me. Yes, something for little old me! Mr. Norm (the one who signed my guestbook) was kind enough to send my some of my favorite pong balls via aunt Nancy. Isn't that nice!

My day started off on a good/icky start. Mommy had some Cookie Crisp cereal. (apparently the fact that her birthday tomorrow is making her feel "old" so she is trying to re-live her youth by eating silly things such as Cookie Crisp.) Mommy carelessly left it on her desk as she started doing some work, and then it happened! As soon as I hopped on to her desk, my back paw landed in the middle of the bowl. It was cold and wet. Then of course I realized it was milk and so I hopped onto the monitor and licked my paw for a good hour. It was great! I didn't like having it wet, but the fact that it was drenched in luscious milk made it all seem so wonderful!

I bugged mommy a lot, just doing silly things. I insisted on spreading myself across her lap, hounded her like a neurotic dog for some milk and licked her feet until she finally fed me. I knew it would work eventually. Feet seem to be most humans weakness. A cold nose here, and a few licks there and they are caving in to just about anything!

Daddy told me a secret today. You can't tell anyone diary, ok? There's ice cream in the freezer. Good ice cream. I'm going to sneak it out when Mommy and Daddy are gone. They don't know this, but I've figured out how to get the freezer door open, and the lid off of the ice cream! They know I'm smart, but they don't know I'm that smart. It's easy. You just have to get your claw in there just right and then pull as hard as you can. It opens and then you just knock the ice cream down onto the floor. Then you just tear at the lid like it was a mouse trying to escape from your wrath. So easy, so wonderful. Ice Cream!

Well, seeing as I have decided to give mommy a break for her birthday. I'm going to go get into a meditative sleep. Who knows when I will wake up then!! At least mommy will get to sleep in. That is her birthday present, from me! Goodnight diary.
