Happy Monster Day! Most of you know it as FRIDAY but since my parents insist on doing housecleaning every Friday, it’s Monster Day for me. Today I believe I’m going to try to be brave for a change.
This seems like a safe spot to observe Mr. Monster….
Except what if Mr. Monster gets too close to my newspaper and sucks it right up? No no no that will NEVER do!
Now up here, Mr. Monster can’t reach me…..this has possibilities…..
If I get up on Mom’s bed, I’ll be out of reach from Mr. Monster but won’t I still HEAR him? All those fireworks last night made me nervous enough…..do I want to go through that drama and trauma again?????
This is always a good spot….under my Dad’s chair at the dining room table. The Monster will go right by me here…..
But there’s still the NOISE factor to deal with…………………….I know – I’ve got the PERFECT idea!!!!!!!
PURRRRRFECT!!!!!!!!
Happy Friday (or Monster Day) to everyone……….and don’t forget the search continues for a home for Leo…………….(Please visit Savannah for Leo’s Page with details) and please spread the word if you haven’t already. The more people who know about Leo needing a home the better!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy 😀 😀

Hi Easy! I’m telling you, these earphones are great! Can’t hear a thing except what I WANT to hear…..I figure I don’t need to hear anything anyway – my nose tells me when there’s food available, my eyes tell me if there’s anything worth spying on, so I don’t need to hear. However, when the monster was finished sucking up all my hair and some of my toys (good grief you’d think my Mom could DRIVE that thing better than she does and avoid my toys!), I took the headphones off and could hear stuff like birds which I do enjoy hearing. So the headphones will only pop on when monster Mom’s doing her thing. So you avoided monster day huh? Good for you……will your Mom be bringing you some surprises back from the city????
Happy Friday

I think I should buy this earphones too and not only for monster-day :o) Yesterday I was waiting for hours for my mom. It was SUPERSALE everywhere and I thought she will stay in the city forever ( or till the sale is over). As she came my patience was exhausted and I started my Weimaraner-self-service with a giant bucket of Ben&Jerry. I have not much experiences with self-service so I ate the lid first ( was more so-so) and as I started to eat the ice-cream they nabbed me. Next time I know it better :o)

Uhoh……….Easy my friend the trick is NOT to get caught! I can’t blame you for the Ben & Jerry “boo boo” though because ice cream is ever so yummy. I’d have done the same thing.
