Imprisoned

We’ve been doing a great job protecting the house from lizards, but Mandy doesn’t seem to think so. She says that we are only protecting the house by keeping the lizards out of the house not bringing them inside. In less than 18 hours, Peyton and I brought in three lizards and a frog! It was amazing! Our skills were not appreciated, and Mandy has closed the windows and turned on the air. She even closed the kitchen window, because I pounced through the screen in order to get the frog. She says the kitchen window is closed until repairs are made. What a sad thing! I feel like I'm trapped in a prison!

Today was very busy. Mandy woke up very early with Stella and rather than crawling back in bed to sleep longer, Sam woke up and started getting ready to go. He dressed up and left very early, and Mandy dressed too. She moved a little more slowly than Sam, but eventually she and Stella left too. Apparently, Stella had to visit the doctor for her one month check up. I find it hard to believe that the tiny person has been here for a full month, but I guess time goes fast when you’re constantly in hiding. Today I have decided to accept Stella, regardless of my personal feelings for her. When Mandy was in the kitchen filling up her water glass, I sniffed at Stella while she was sleeping in her chair. She woke up when I was close and squawked something at me. I’m not sure what she said, but I’d like to think she said hello.

Peyton has taken up guarding the tiny person, and if Mandy does not act quickly enough when she’s crying, Peyton comes running to see what the matter is. He does not get close to Stella, but he will walk around her. This morning when Mandy was taking her picture, Peyton was in the background watching. He likes to make sure she is happy, although he won’t do anything to make her happy.

Well, I think I hear that tiny person yelling again, so I will take my leave to the closet for my afternoon nap.
