Wheeeek!
I've been happy since I came to live with my Mom. Her
Dad built a cool two-level condo - just for me! I climb a ramp to
the 2nd level where Mom puts very wee portions of carrots,
lettuce and spinach. If I don't get enough momentum going up the
ramp, I slide to the bottom on my butt. Mom laughs and laughs at
this, sometimes she'll give my rump a boost so I can get to my
dinner. Mom says I haven't changed a bit since she first met
me...'cept size-wise. She forgets that brushing me
every-single-day when she comes home from work makes me extra
fluffy, besides, she forgets I am simply big-boned and very
muscular!
Every month or so, she does this awful thing called "Spa Night".
I get a bubble bath, a hair cut, a manicure, pedicure and more
brushing. Although I love it when Mom blow-dries my coat so I
won't catch cold. Afterward, it's fun snuggling up in the
confidential shred Mom brings home from work. Sometimes when Mom
is crabby, she'll call me "Lettuce Breath," threaten to give my
(non-existent) tail a yank, or even deride my 'bed head'... but I
know she is just blowing off steam. She thinks it's really funny
when she puts her little butterfly clippies on my fur ... !!
But I am a boy cavy ... rough and tough! I try to demonstrate how
ferocious I am by slamming the cardboard TP tubes around or
knocking over her bathroom garbage can (I get to run around the
bathroom when Mom cleans out my hot condo-loft) ... but all my
bravado just makes her laugh even harder. Well, gotta go! Mom
just put my dinner down ... I've been meaning to have a "little
talk" with her about these scant portions!
