It’s here! The end of the week…..housecleaning day……I get brand new tissue – and I need it this week. It was an exceptionally messy week of play for me and I may have done more tissue shredding than usual. Thank heavens my Mom keeps a large supply of the stuff on hand. It’s almost my FAVORITE toy EVER!
Yesterday it was 103 degrees outside and with the humidity factored in, the weather dude said it FELT like 110. Well, I can vouch for that because I asked Mom if she’d pretty please let me go out on the front porch once – JUST ONCE – and indeed it was a real “scorcher” outside. The nice crunchy grass looks like it’s been deep fried…..leaves that shouldn’t be falling yet are fainting right out of the trees…..even though Mom watered the gardens this morning they are LIMP and SAD looking this afternoon. But me? I asked to go outside to see for myself so good old Mom took me.
Next week’s going to be mighty interesting around here. I heard Dad on the phone this afternoon arranging for our driveway to be re-sealed. I know what that is and I distinctly remember the LAST time this happened and it was noisy ALL DAY LONG with equipment, trucks, strangers in my yard – a real mess. Of course the driveway looked swell after it was done but still…….talk about noisy!
It’s always something isn’t it? Just about the time you feel like you can relax – your humans throw another wrench into the works. Although I suppose putting up with the noise is a small price to pay to live in the lap of luxury like we all do – right? Hmm?? I’m right now aren’t I ????
Kitty Hugs, Sammy 😀
HAPPY FURRRRRRRRIDAY!

Indeed…….it’s going to be noisy and stinky and just plain ICKY on Tuesday. Sigh. Well, I’ll try to be brave about it all but chances are I’ll be tucked away in my basement quiet hidey-hold while this project goes on!

Hi Rumpy…well, barking isn’t an option but I CAN go to my basement hidey hole under the stairs and sleep through the noise. Or try to…..I can borrow Mom’s portable radio and listen to classical music – that makes me get all “dreamy” AND it would cover the noise from the machinery! Sound like a plan?

I gotta tell ya pal, I tried the tissue paper thing and I just don’t “get it”…didn’t thrill me in the least!
We have been having some good rain the past 2 days, want me to send some your way? That would take care of the driveway problem now wouldn’t it? MOL

Cody! You didn’t like the tissue thing? Hmm….OK – here’s something to try – your surprise package has one of my special pieces of “blogaversary celebration” tissue in it – just jammed in the top to keep things from sliding around – have your Mommy take it out, lay it on the ground then put your OTHER surprises UNDER it – I bet you play with the tissue then!!!! Tee Hee
Rain would solve the problem with the driveway on Tuesday BUT on the other hand, Dad would just reschedule for another day – at least it will all be over on Tuesday. I’ll just have to be PATIENT….(not one of my better qualities!!).
