'Pigs' Gets Equal Time

Peanut Butter was feeling a bit blue today, so we asked her what was up. She had alot of stories about how she doesn't get to write in the blog, and that we post 10 pictures of Digby and Prinnie to her one. So I guess she is feeling slighted. In light of that, TODAY IS "PIGGY" DAY!!! This is her turn to shine, so with tap shoes on her paws and a brimmed hat on her head, here is Peanut Butter's/Pigs story:

"OK, do you want to know the TRUTH about what happened when my brother and sister went to doggie camp?? Well, let me tell you! First, they were bouncing all around like those mexican jumping beans before they got their harnesses on. Then they flew out the door so fast that they left a big storm of fur in their wake, without EVEN saying bye bye to me!! Geez, I had to go around the WHOLE house and vacuum up all the dog hair after everyone left so that I would have a nice place to rest my tuckered little body without having to inhale that nasty doggie hair.

After I took my nap, I went to the kitchen and made myself a little sandwich of cat nip and grass (on whole wheat of course). Ah, the peace and quite was remarkable! No doggies barking and jumping, no mommy yelling for them to "park it" or "leave it", no listening to them try to sing with mommy to the music on the ipod (THANK GOD!), and no worrying if they'd try to chase me as I walked across the floor.

A few hours passed, then a few more! Purrfect time for another nap. I perched myself in one of my baby beds on a nightstand upstairs where I have a primo spot to watch the birdies out the window. It was hot out, so the birdies were hiding I think. I watched for a while till I dozed off into a wonderfully quiet, restful sleep.

I woke up peacefully, stretched a bit, and decided I would show everyone how grateful they should be to have me. I mopped the floors, did the dishes, cleaned the bathrooms (after getting a nice long drink from the potty), and folded the laundry. I'm too little to carry it upstairs, but it is the thought that counts, right??

After all that work, it was time for another nap. Do kitties have a minimum wage law?? Anyhow, I drifted off to sleep with some Yanni music playing in the background. It must have played fully through because instead of the soft, comforting music, I awoke to this horrendous noise! I jumped straight up to all fours, and went to investigate. What on earth could it be, I thought?? An earthquake? No. An avalanche? No. Crap!!!!! It was brother and sister coming home!! They were so besides themselves that they tore into my NICE CLEAN HOUSE with no regard, flew to the kitchen, begged for a treat, and then proceeded to chase me through the house!

Not a word of THANKS, not an acknowledgement that the house HAD looked great, nothing! Nada! My life as I wished it was over, and my life as I knew it was back! And THAT is the REAL story about what happened the day that those two furry monsters went to camp!!
