my masterpiece

i can make the most beautiful den decorations. just yesterday i saw one of those bags that my humans carry their treats in and i thought to myself .. self .. that is exactly what the floor needs. something pretty and white and fluffy. so i took it in my mouth to find it's new home. when i layed it down (after some difficulty as it was now stuck to my mouth) i stood back to admire my skill. and much to my dismay, it looked silly.

i picked it up, tossed it around and again stood back. the repositioning was not the effect i had hoped for. i layed down, thought about it and decided to try a few more things. daly was watching and i could sense that she was thinking of mocking my skill and i could feel the pressure. i moved it from one room to another until finally i gave up hope. frustrated, i layed down with the bag and sulked.

i held it down with my paw, grabbed it with my teeth and i pulled. it ripped and a piece came off. eureka! more pieces.. more decoration. i set my mind to it and i got to work. it was a lot of fun to watch all the little pieces fall into place without much effort at all and it was fast too. before i knew it the room was filled up. i stood back again and i was pleased. i can't wait for everyone to see it!

i waited all afternoon for the grey thing to come vomit piper's human. not only did i need to empty my pee holder but i want it to see my art. about 9:30, it came. piper's human opened the door and it's face went straight to my decorations. i wagged and wagged waiting in anticipation for it to praise me on being such a good artist but it said nothing. it pulled out it's camera and asked me to sit. me? pose with the art? oh no.

i walked away, but it called me back. it asked me to sit again and i don't know what came over me but i thought it would be nice to pose with my art while i was emptying my pee holder. i lifted my leg and let it go. i'm waiting for the bright light to hit my eyes when it stops taking the picture and starts telling me no. instantly i know this is a bad idea and i was humiliated. all i can do it finish the pee.

addicted to shoes

last night i was restless. my humans are missing. the big red thing that lives outside my den took them again. i tried to yell out the window as he slithered away but he only went faster and farther. it beckons them. they open his many mouths and sit in his belly. i've done it. it's not so terrible. and i think my people are smart and will be able to convince it to bring them back soon.

in my restlessness and worry i searched for comfort. i found a pair of shoes that smelled like a one of my humans and for a while i just smelled them. i took them to the living room floor and rolled on them, licked them, and before i knew it i couldn't stop the urge to touch them with my teeth. i know it's a bad habit and i know the shame all too well when i stop and realize what i have done, but in the moment, i just want the chew.

the grey thing came. it vomited piper and miles' human and i was happy. it can open doors and make food appear in my bowl. (this is very convenient as i need to empty my pee holder and fill up my poop maker) then it occurs to me .. the shoes. in my excitement, i forgot to hide the shoes.

it took the shoes into the little room where i can sometimes find water. the room where the noisy white boxes live and work. the white boxes are sleeping so she put them up high on one and told me to try and not touch them with my teeth anymore. i will try. but it will not stop me from looking at them or wanting to smell them.

i will continue to look out the window for the black and red things and hope my humans come back soon. i miss the noises they make in my house. right now all i have is daly licking her toes and her nonnie. ugh. she can be so yucky.
