sneaky cat

do you remember me telling you about mudder cleaning everything yesterday?  well she puts on her summder bedding at this time of year too.  Bronwyn got right up on the fresh sheets and got all comfy.

I telled her to git off of mudders fresh bed.  she did not git down.  instead she jest gived me a dirty look.

she telled me that I canz not evin see her becuz she blends in with all of the white.  I sed that yes I cud see her grumpy little felion face.that made her mad.

she runned over to give me a liddle swat.  

I jest runned away frum her.  

spring cleaning

every year at this time mudder goes on a cleaning frenzy.  she makes every thing bright and shiny agin for the coming summer.  Winter makes a lot of messes like mud and dust.  she bringed in a ladder and I wuz curiuos about it.  she telled me to paws on.

I did it jest like she sed.  I wuz trying to figure out how to climb up higher but mudder sed no no Percy, I am not being serious.  you cud hurt yourself  .  come on down frum there.

she evin washed my bed! mudder is the best.

a basset in a bracelet

mudder created this bracelet out of 3,246 beads.  it turned out lukking like my sister Charlee girl, so mudder is going to give it to her frind Carole who is Charlee girls mudder. I tink carole will love it!

Sonny

my mudder is in another state visiting her brudder.  I did not get to go.  but what is even worse is that she is sleeping with anudder doggie...  and he is very cute...

say cheese

I ruv this pitcher of mudder taking a pitcher of me.  Now lookit the pitcher of me that she wuzzed taking whin Phil wuzzed taking a pitcher of her taking a pitcher of me!

isn't that so cool?

winter glove

while mudder wuz cleaning out her winter tings I stealed acold weather glove.  she sed "ummm, Percy, give me my glove"

I wunted to play chase so I teased her and ran away.  she chased me all around the back yard and back in to the kitchen agin.

she decided I cud have it for a toy, so I destroyed it.

I tink it luks like a skelinton hand.  Makes me excited about Halloween!

my mudder is my favorite

I tink she is the best hooman in the world.  I give her lots of kisses

she tried to give me a smooch but I laughed out!  she is a funny companion.

I like how we look togedder!

a romp in the park

Mudder wuz worried that I might be scairt of random doggies since I got attacked last night.  so she taked me to the doggie park to play with some nice friends.  I met fun buddies and wuz never rilly scairt innyway.  If I'm not afraid of these 2 big Alaskan dogs I'm not afraid of anything...

we played follow the leader.  this big boy wuz a pest.  he bothered evrybuddy at the park.

I tagged one of the Alaskan dogs, but he jest stared at me.  

so I sticked my tung out and ran away.  then he chased!!

nothing to worry about mudder, the attack has not scarred me at all.

attack

Can you tell me why other doggies don't like me?  I try so hard to be happy and funny.  and I tink I am preddy cute too.  today on my walk with phil I got ambush attacked by a crazy off leash dog.  phil saved me before he could bite out.  I was jest fine, but I don't understand why I get growled at on my walks.

make a wish

today at the park I found a patch of dannylions.  I tried to smell the flowers cuz mudder always sez take time to do that Percy.  When I taked a sniff I felt tickly tings on my snout. Mudder laughed and sed "oh Percy, you are so funny".

I ate a couple of dannylions too.  my tung did not like them all that much.

I laid down in the patch of flowers and thought about hunting more hippities.

but thin I found a football!  mudder tossed it around and evin kicked it like a football player.

our wok was great today.  there are so many baby rabbits.  I chased one, but mostly I chased the big ones.  oh, I also found a big dead bull snake in the ditch.  

Cabelas

I got to go to Cabelas today.  there was so much to see and do.  I evin got to practice my down stay.

I met some big fish.  too bad they were behind some glass.  I tried to sniff them, but could not.

I posed for a pitcher under a big ole moose.  

and then, I wuz treated like a king.  Mudder let me go on the most comfy bed in the whole store and surround myself by a bunch of huge bones.  

I falled asleep just sniffing the bones.  it wuz a nice trip.

no agility today

Mudder discovered a liddle lump on me today.  she sed she dent think we shud go to agility today so that it wuldnt make it worse.

canz you see it?  it is kind of , but it doesn't hurt at all.  I got to sleep all day on the couch agin. Mudder evin put an ice pack on it for me.  not too bad at all.  but I em lukking forward to going back to learning more agility next week..

it almost worked

I am still sulking about how my plan to blame grouchy pants for digging a hole did not work.  So I tried to set him up by tempting him with an empty bag of doggie food.  I made a bunch of rustiling sounds and sed nom nom nom nom.  I lukked at him with nom nom eyes.

I pretended like I wuz hasing a big ole meal to myself.  

it worked!  grouchy pants sicked his whole head in and I said HAHA, I got you!  you are going to be in so much trubble now...

but mudder wuz no where to be seen.  and later when she saw that I had dragged the empty bag out, she sed "bad boy Percy".  "I think we shud go inside and you shud take a liddle nap".

wow!  I like this kind of trubble....a liddle nap on mudders lap.  she sure ruvs me so much. I will get you grouchy pants Asa, just whin you don't expect it....

i blamed grouchy pants

today I digged a liddle hole in the back yard.  jest a liddle one and I tink I digged it becuz I ate a blade of grass thin went all crazy.  Mudder and grouchy pants Asa came outside to see whut all the rukuc wuzzed about.  I runned away frum the scene and whin Asa followed his nose to my crime, I blamed him!  I told mudder "ohhh mudder, lookit whut bad boy has digged".

it did not work, Mudder is not a fool.  she told me to go inside so she cud bury the hole.  and grouchy pants whispered in my ear that I wuzzed a big brat.  

and he chased me back in to the house...

AND next he helped himself to injoy the sun on my outdoor cushions!  hmmmmpf

I will git him in some sort of trubble sum day...
