British Invasion

The last several days have brought numerous changes. Elway and I had mostly figured out that Mandy was company cleaning so we guessed someone was coming but it happened in an unusual manner.

Well, Wednesday night rather than getting ready for bed, Sam and Mandy dressed and left the house. When they returned, I was waiting for them by the front door, and they had a lady with them. She had the most unusual accent. I have never heard such a sound before. She stayed with us for a few days, and I have deemed her most lovely. We call her Ann because that is what Mandy called her. Ann admired me and laughed when I played with Red Lightening Bug. She was very pleasant to be around. Mandy said Ann is from a very far away from a place across the big water called Britain. Ann said I am exceedingly handsome!

Ann and Mandy played together for several days running here and there. Sam even participated in some of the fun and all three jumped in the big tub. I watched them from the window.

However, our Invasion did not end there and included more than the British. On Saturday, Sam left Mandy and Ann and went away. Later Mandy and Ann left too. Ann took all of her things, so I was not sure if I would see her again. But later that afternoon, Mandy, Sam, and Ann returned home with more visitors! They brought Bomom and Bonedad.

Yesterday must have been some kind of holiday. Sam stayed home with Mandy and they slept, baked, cleaned house and even woke us up from our naps to drag us outside while they splashed around in the big tub. Elway and I were less than thrilled to be awoken from our nap only to be dragged outside in the heat.

Then last night, all the people came back only they had two more people! There were so many people here, I could not keep track up them. Elway did not seem to mind the extra people. He walked around the table while they ate dinner and picked up bites off the floor. He said dinner was delicious, and I managed to sneak a bite from Mandy a little later. Elway sure had the right idea. I sat in the bedroom doorway and watched everyone from a great distance. At one point, Mandy picked me up and brought me out for everyone to admire me. I was uncomfortable, but I allowed everyone to look at me. However, Bomom dared to touch me and I told her just what I thought about that! She laughed and withdrew her hand. Mandy said I was being snobby, but to be honest I did not even know she was behind me when she touched me and it was just startling. I imagine you would not like to be touched by someone you could not see if you were being displayed for the whole world to see.

This morning, I am wondering if life is returning to normal. Sam went to work, and Mandy is moving slowly again. However, it will take a few days of this schedule for me to know that life has returned to normal. Bomom and Bonedad have a way of stealing Mandy away even when I do not seem them. So, I am waiting a few days to see if they are still here before I say for sure that life is back to normal.

I am going to remind Mandy that I am hungry for crunchies. I do not want her to forget to feed me.
