Does Petal have a large stick?
Or part of a tumble weed?
You decide!
Either way, she viciously attacked it.
Way to keep the yard safe from those villains, Petal.
I rest easier knowing you’re here to protect me from blood thirsty sticks/tumble weeds.
“C’mon, Ella! You can do it! Just one more lap around the yard! Do it for me… do it for the children.”
“What children?”
“PRETEND there are children and do it for them!”
“Yeah, not happening. I need a breather.”
“Only wimps take breathers! Wimpy little cats!“
“You call this a pep talk?”
“It’s called tough love, sister.”
“FINE! I’ll run, but just to shut you up!”
“Happy now, Petal?”
*panting* *gasping dramatically* “I neeeeed waaaterrrr!”
“Wimp.”
“It’s coming from over here! Let’s go!”
“Rooo! Roo roo roo!”
“Uhhh, Ella, it was just a barrel rolling around in the wind. I think we’re safe.”
“What? Just a barrel?! Oh… I suppose you’re right.”
“Should we keep barking anyway?”
“Why not?”
Happy Saturday!

Or even a coffee table would do!
July 10, 2011
But with her coffee table gone and the laundry basket is rarely left out anymore, she sticks to laying on top of the couch pillows. Which have always been her favorite (with the coffee table in a very close second) anyway.

Just yesterday afternoon, after running many many laps out in the yard, she settled down for a nap in her most impressive place yet.
The pillow mountain.
The pillows had been fluffed and freshened up in the dryer with a fabric softener. This is why they were stacked up on the couch, they were waiting to be arranged nicely again.
But I guess Petal thought they were stacked like this to make a really super awesome bed just for her super awesomeness!
This stack of pillows was piled higher than the couch and Petal very nearly fell over the back of it several times. I kept reaching out to grab her, but she always steadied herself just in the nick of time. One of the pillows did fall off the stack, over the back of the couch and on to the floor, though. Whoops.
And speaking of fluffing pillows in dryers…
Check out what we found in the dryer today!
My oh my! That’s the largest bit of dryer lint I ever saw!
Note: We did not put the cat in the dryer. She put herself there. Seriously.
They had a great time in the yard this morning. Racing around in circles, wrestling, rolling around (Ella), digging (also Ella), barking at things blowing in the wind (started by Ella).
Then they came inside and enjoyed peanut butter and cheese crackers in their Kongs.
Now it’s time for a nap!
