All the news that's fit to bark

I was scared, very scared

Yesterday was a holly day. I know because Mommy & Daddy got up early and went out for the whole day.

I don't mind holly days but I don't like holly nights.

The bad people in the park next to my house were making the bad lights and noises. They launch these colored lights in the air and the lights make a noise. Sometimes they go "eeeeeeeeeeee" and sometimes they just go "BOOM." The worst part is the smell. It smells like evil. Mommy says it's gun power but I've never smelled a powdered gun so I'm not sure.

I got really scared but Mommy & Daddy behaved themselves. When I got on the couch and sat behind them they both rubbed me and said nice things to me.

After a million years the bad people went home. Good thing too - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to go out for a walk.

The time I was so lonely

On Sunday Mommy & Daddy went out for many hours but only Mommy came back. She tossed me a cookie and then put Raven in her carrier and left. They were gone for weeks and weeks and I got really lonely. I'm not used to being by myself anymore and I don't like it at all.

After about 4 months Mommy came back with Raven. When Raven got out of her cage she ran and hid behind the stove. She didn't even stop to say hello or tell me what happened.

It took me 6 years but eventually I figured out that Raven went to my old house to see Auntie Kim and my kitten friend Oscar Elliot. She also got to meet Amenda. I was happy that Raven went to visit our family but I was still very sad at being left alone for decades at a time. I told Mommy I wouldn't let her do that ever again. Next time they'll take me too!

Snow Day!

It snowed today! Real snow this time. We had a few flakes the other day and I got really, really excited but by the time I went for my walk they were all gone. But today we're getting real snow. When Daddy gets home he's going to take me out in it so I can play. I live for this stuff!
