Eddie is sooooooo grounded!

[Edwina's Secretary]

A lovely evening in Chicago... one of my last for a long time....

I put the E's in their harnesses and we go outside. I have my book, my glass of wine. I am deep into French/English relations in 1800.

Edwina asks to go in the house. I let her in. Where's Eddie?? It is getting dark. I call for Eddie. Becoming more frantic... I crash through all the bushes and undergrowth....calling for Eddie.

Sick at heart I go to the front yard. It is Friday night and the street is busy. I circle the house any number of times...."Eddie!"

Finally...I see him...in the front...without his harness....

The chase begins.... in the bushes, out of the bushes, in... out...I stay between him and the street....

He has rubbed everything in sight.... he decides to roll in the dirt. I slowly move toward him and LUNGE! I grab him...he fights me....my watch breaks against the brick....flaying....his claw cuts open my lip.....

he is in the house....

He is sooooooooooooo grounded!

Oh dear....do you suppose Eddie is having anxiety about the move? Poor thing may just be showing Meowmie that he is upset and needs to say "goodbye" to all his bushes and undergrowth and everything he has known as *home*. Please don't ground him If he had had his own glass of wine, he would have been so much more relaxed

(I tried Eddie!!)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh no! Naw-tee Eddie!! Ok buddy, it's one thing to be all boy, and it's another to shed the harness and head for the front of the house! No sympathy from me tonight big boy, you're grounded and you deserve every minute of it - and no treats before bed for you young man!

And then to scratch Blondie's lip and fight so.........I thought you knew how good you have it, just don't ever forget that! Don't be surprised if you're in the dog house until Curly comes home again......

EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!



Scary scary scary. I would freak out.

Eddie, a word of advice - next time you are already in trouble, don't make it worse by making your Meowmie break her watch, and then scratch her lip! No wonder you're grounded!

[Edwina's Secretary]

needs to say "goodbye" to all his bushes and undergrowth and everything he has known as *home*.

Good try, Debbie...but to the best of my knowledge he has never BEEN in the front before.....


If he needs to say "goodbye" couldn't he confine it to the back yard??? How did he get through the fence?????

p.s. I did find his harness.... in the front yard....

Eddie-
Oh my Eddie! You musn't do that. You scared your meowmie to pieces and then to throw that temper tantrum. Young man you need to stop and think about what you have done. Then you need to give meowmie lots of headbumpies and purrs to let her know you are sorry. It works pretty well, I know cuz I ran out the back door when my meowmie let the dog out one day and I ran to the back of the yard and hid in the bushes. Meowmie got over it after bumps and purrs. -Julie

Uh-oh Eddie, tsk, tsk (shaking head). That was a very nawtee boy. No wonder you are soooo grounded.

[popcornbird]

That was Eddie's way of telling you *Mom........we need to stay in Chicago! Can't leave my home and go to California!!!!*

What a scare!!!! I think Eddie deserves to be grounded tonight too. Sorry Eddie, but you don't do that to your mommy!

[catnapper]

Eddie! Don't scare us like that! If you were hanging out with your pal Chippy, you should have let meowmie know what you were up to. I know you are only trying to be one of the guys, but this is not good!

[catcrazylady]

AH OH!! BAD Eddie! Shame on you for acting like that! Slipping out of your harness and exploring is one thing but fighting with Blondie is what really got you busted young man! If I were you Eddie I would be doing some very serious sucking up!!!

[catmandu]

Eddie,and JJJ3,have that,in common,that when they do get out,they are going,to make,the most of it,no matter how worried you are! So,although,I am worried,I leave him alone,ane within half an hour,he gets scared,and waltzes back in.

[Randi]

Eddie, I know you were just saying goodbye to your bushes and having a little fun, but losing your harness and even walking out towards the road is a NO, NO! And scratching Blondie when she wanted to get you back in safety is totally uncalled for! No sympathy here, if you do get grounded!

Eddie, I happen to know that the garden wall in your new place is taller than the one you have now, but even so, I think you better get used to the idea that that harness will go on considerably tighter next time.

Sara, I'm sorry about your lip and your watch - hope it will heal soon!

[Russian Blue]

How scary for you. Eddie, I know it's time to say goodbye to your local surroundings but keep your harness on!!
