Action-packed Weekend!

It has been such an eventful weekend and I have tons to tell you about! I’ll start with Friday because that’s when all the excitement started. That afternoon, Mandy started moving around all of the furniture. At first, we watched closely, because we thought it signaled that Vacuum was going to come out, but she was moving just about all of the furniture that she could. Sure enough though, Vacuum did eventually come out, and we went into hiding. We hid while Villain desecrated our house. We figured everything would be put back into place when we came out of hiding. However, only more furniture was moved and nothing was in the right place! Mandy didn’t even bother to try to put the stuff back before Sam came home. Once Sam was home there was a huge ruckus! Sam and Mandy are trying to bring something huge and evidently very heavy through the front door, but they were attacked by lizards! Lizards were everywhere and one of them slipped into the house! I watched the attack take place from under the noise maker and I was ready to fight alongside Sam and Mandy to protect my home from those nasty lizards! I was just about ready to attack the lone lizard that made it past Sam and invaded my home, when Sam saw him. Unfortunately, Sam ruined my brave attack and captured the lizard. I don’t understand why Sam and Mandy capture those critters and release them! Let me at him! I’ll make sure he won’t dare enter our home again! Finally, the attack of the lizards was over, and Mandy and Sam brought this huge wooden thing into my house. They moved it by the noise maker, past the TV and into my play area! They set that huge thing right in the center of my play room! Mandy seemed very satisfied with the thing, so I found Peyton and we checked this new thing out.

Mandy says we are not allowed to play with it and we are not allowed to sleep on top of it. What good is it if I can’t sleep on it? It would provide an excellent view of the backyard! I could survey my whole yard from the top of that thing! Perhaps I will take it over when Mandy is not looking.

Well, all of that happened and it’s only Friday night! Wait until you hear about Saturday! Sam and Mandy wake up early, and started working outside! Sam is outside the big tub area doing all sorts of things while Mandy is messing with my plants next to the big tub. She brought in new plants! Peyton helped Mandy while she dug in the dirt and moved things around. Peyton also found a frog that slipped into the big tub area and he helped Mandy chase him out into the yard. Peyton might have tried to eat the frog, but we are not allowed to munch on frogs. It’s one of the three cardinal outside rules. Once Mandy and Sam finished outside, Peyton checked out all of Mandy’s new work.

It does look very nice, but we are not allowed to dig around the plants. Mandy says they are delicate, so we have to leave them alone. Since they are so pretty, we have left them alone for now. We are admiring them from a distance. You can see Sam's big trash bag. He was pulling that thing all over, yanking up nasty weeds.

Sunday and Monday were rather boring days. It rained all day Sunday and we were unable to play outside. Little Turtle came to see us Monday morning, but it was still raining, so Mandy refused to let us outside. Little Turtle waited for us for a long time, but Mandy was firm. She was not letting us play in the rain. Instead I had to create my own fun inside. I set up an obstacle course and practiced running and jumping as fast as I could! I raced under the noise maker, over the couch and around the fireplace. I did this multiple times while Mandy did the dishes. After each lap, Mandy scored me and gave me pointers. We continued this until I was so tired I had to nap.

One exciting thing happened last night though! Just before bedtime, Sam opened the bedroom window! I was so excited! I jumped off the bed and into the window! However, there is a block in the window, just like the one in the kitchen! I couldn’t go outside, but I could feel the breeze and it was wonderful! After I cuddled Mandy to sleep, I sat in the window almost all night! We have never had the window open in the bedroom open all night before and it was amazing! And guess what! All of the cat windows are open this morning!

It’s beautiful outside! It’s so nice that even Mandy worked outside and now she is sitting outside with me! Mandy says eventually it will warm up and we will close the windows, but it is so beautiful right now that we all are spending as much time as possible out here this morning!

Well, I can’t afford to spend any more time telling you about life around here because I have to go enjoy the sun on this glorious Tuesday morning! Hope your day is as fantastic as mine!
