Not My Toy

DEPUTY BABY G:

"I keep hearing this same phrase lately. Like when I tried to play with some new tings mom left on those steps again. Dey weren't "eggs" but they were just as interesting.. Dees round ting again was begging for my pawing.. Knocked it off once just to watch it tumble down the steps. And in she swoops down on me:

"It's NOT your TOY!", she said loudly to me.. I had to make a decision: keep watch over my new toy and batt it some more - or take heed of these words.

I scurried up a couple steps just to be on eye level with her.

"NOT your toy", she repeated. I looked at her in acknowledgement and layed down on the step. Okay, mum. I won't. Cause I'm a good boy. "

Absent Minded

KATIE KITTY'S KAHOOTS:

"I have a distaste of mom's pawing me first thing in the morning..

See, I sleep right up against her hip and when she wakes up in the morning.. Well, she's not really up to her wits yet.. and so, her paw just flails around my head and stuff, like ..she doesn't know which end is up. She just wants to touch me. But I don't wanna be touched in this absent-minded way. It's distasteful.

So I quickly get the hell outta her reach and scoot on over to the the foot of the bed. I'm not some toy to be grappled with. "

Zen Intercept

GABRIEL:

"Ah did a two-step this morning.   

Ah had just finished mah breakfast in the kitchen when Ah deemed it a fane tame to walk on outta there but Ah hadn't counted big Bella in mah plans.. Ah had to pass her bah.  And mah natural Zen cattitude got a bit perturbed. It did not feel safe just passing through. Ah had to look back.

Ah had to look back one, two - three tames.  And on the third tame, Ah began to gallop in-place like a horse and picked up speed and got outta there.  Fast.

She done sat there and just stared at me. "

The Roaring Monster

BELLA'S BITS:

I'm the brave one as always. When mom fights with the roaring monster wrapped around her hand, I'm the only one on the lookout, everybody else heads for the hills and hides; well, except my recruit, the deputy.

And she really did fight with it all evening, it was pushing her around from room to room and up the stairs. I went to bed in my room when I heard the darn thing again. I felt it was my duty to get up from my sleep and go check on mom again in her room.

At the expense of my dignity. Coming out meant getting slapped and my furr in a knot passing by the Katie kube. "

A Moment With Grandma

DEPUTY BABY G:

"I had a moment with grandma Bella when I lowered my head in front of her. I was hoping she would lick it but she didn't ... She just looked at me.

Everyone else in my family licks me when I offer them my submission like that. I'm the baby, right? Miss Pippi takes care of me like that, miss Katie does too... Well, once in a long while. And always Daddy.

I'm just glad I was able to have this moment with miss Bella though... Nobody else gets that close to her. I think that's why she didn't know what to do when I nuzzled my head under her face. "

A Kinder Hunt

DEPUTY BABY G:

"I love to chase, hunt, and jump. I get my prey, I don't care if mom calls it a toy. My instincts are strong in spite of my balls being cut off. But when grandma miss Bella takes the floor? I sit back and wait. As long as it takes.

Grandma Bella has first-rights to the furr tail prey, and no matter how high it flies, how much it may tease me, I do not give in to temptation nor my hunting instinct during dat time when miss Bella has taken over.

I've had good breedin and schooling. Daddy has taught me to respect my elders.

Besides: I would rather wait than get power-slapped or worse yet, nipped at all over, kamikaze style. "

Superior Heights

KATIE KITTY'S KAHOOTS

"I messed with bully-Baby's head tonight. I climbed on top of the high thing again, the one mom calls the "wall system". I'm the only one who can do this. Paws down. And I got busy up there and pawed around this little thing and dropped it to the floor and got their attention.. I had them all mesmerized with it. And then Baby noticed me up there, he kept eyeing his way to a jump - but he never mustered it! I leaned my head over from my high perch to stare at him the whole time:

"You think you're so tough, you little ding-dong? You can't even make it up here.. for all your chasing and jumping around.

He kept staring back at me, looking up to my level.. I thought he'd get his neck in a knot!

I milked this moment for as long as I could gloat. Until I realized I'd have to jump down myself...."

Kamikaze Kommotion

GOOGIE'S GRITS

"We all sat up startled, catching the commotion in the kitchen. Somepawdy was going apeshit in there and we weren't sure who. Was it little Getty ?

Sure enough, Ah ascertained, it was none other than big Bella. She done gone kamikazeh on the rug in there, jumping on it and then slidin across...has she no shame. Big bellied grandma done gone krazeh..

Ah just watched from afar in the safety of mah chair as Ah stretched mah neck out, suspended like that in deesbelieef of this travesteh.

Mah deputy ran in there like a fire drill all ready to spring in action, bending all fours toward the floor with his butt and tail up in the air.

"Grandma! I'M here ! Who do Ah chase??! "

That's mah boy... He knew to be of service but not get foolish and jump into the fray himself, he stood bah the sidelines while big Bella done gone kamikaze.

"Hold onto your nickers boy! ", she done took off out of the kitchen and flew up the steps with the same gusto she dove on the rug. "

Daddy Told Me Not To Come

DEPUTY BABY G:

"I'm sorry but... I'm not gonna do the nose-tip kissy-kissy thing with miss Getty.. Cause miss Getty is a wild card and I don't know what to expect from her.  Half the times, when I try to approach her, she either slaps me or hisses or growls.   And now she wants to nose-tip?  I don't think so.

I recoiled backwards in hesitation and left it at that.  Daddy told me not to be rude to miss Getty. "
