Well....

.... it was after my dinner time before I got out to play today and I was not at all happy with that situation. You all know how much I like being outside especially when the sheeps are outside my gate and doubly especially when I needed to see if that great big worm was still there, but by the time I did get out it was too dark to see if it was on my path. Even with my brilliant eyesight!

There has been snow and sleet and lots of horrible wind on my little island and far too windy for me to venture out. In fact, I would call it a gale and I am getting very good at naming these winds 'cos I have been listening very carefully to my little weather man friend so that I know when I can go out safely and when I need to stay in my house with my humans.

My MH is getting on really well and is now just using one stick and sometimes none sticks at all, but she is getting annoyed like me 'cos she can't get outside and she wants to get her shoes on and go out to play with me, but she is frightened the wind might blow her over. Since she has come home she has to wear long white stockings and 'cos she hasn't to bend over, my DH has to put them on for her and do you know what he did? He tickled her feets! Oh dear, what a noise she made. I think if she could have moved quicker she would have clouted him with her stick!

We have all had a good day but I am hoping that the wind has a wee rest soon so that I can get out to play before bedtime 'cos I have an awful lot of energy and unless I can get rid of it all, I might not sleep and if I don't sleep then my poor old humans won't get much rest either, so my adorable little paws and their not so adorable fingers are all crossed!

I shall tell you tomorrow.

Wow!

Look what I discovered this afternoon! A worm, but not just any worm--a ginormous worm! I shall let you all into a little secret. I have never seen a worm before and I was just a tad perplexed when I discovered this wriggly creature on my path today when I finally ventured out, but after I had poked it once or twice with my adorable little paw and it didn't hurt me, I wasn't frightened any more. Not that I was frightened in the first place you understand. Just a little bemused.

We have had a very good day although it is still too cold for yours truly so I haven't been out to play as much as I would like and when I do I just stay out for the littlest time and then I go home again where my humans are waiting for me with lots of cuddles which I just love.

I am a very happy puss just now 'cos both my humans are at home with me and also because my DH is finally feeling a wee bit better and that is very good news. He had to go to the boat today to get all our messages and when he comed home to me he gave me lots of bits of string to play with and that was good but then my MH picked up the string with her grabber which she brought home from the hospital to help her pick up all the things that she has dropped and she picked up one end of the string and shooked it all over my kitchen and I chased it and chased it until I was just the tiredest and happiest little puss in the whole big wide world.

Oh yes, it has definitely been a WOW day for me, but I hope you have had a good day too.

A Super day

I got all excited at one point today 'cos I just happened to be looking out of my window when I saw all the snow was falling down and lying on my garden and I was desperate to go out and play. I love the snow and I was so excited that I was bouncing all over my kitchen, but then a nice man from BT came to my house to fix the phone and I decided that I would stay in and watch what he was doing and then when I DID go outside, all the snow had disappeared and it was just grass again! Oh, I was so sad, but my little weather man friend says that it might snow some more on my island, and if it does, I don't care who is in my house, I am going OUT!!!!

My phone is working now and my humans are very happy so that makes me happy too. I got another surprise this afternoon when some more of my friends came to my house. My dear old MH thinks they are coming to see her, but I know they really want to visit me and so I was on my best behaviour and I said hello to them all and gave them all a wee purr which they all liked, so I have had a very good afternoon.

It is very cold on my little island so I have been going out of my door then running round my house and in my window again before I freeze solid. Oh dear, can you imagine it? A little frozen Squeak. It doesn't bear thinking about, does it? How would my poor MH cuddle me if I was a iceberg?

Mind you, if she cuddled me I would be thawed out again and be a normal Squeak, sure I would? Phew! Problem solved!

A Surprise

I went out to play quite late last night and I got a big surprise as soon as I went outside my gate 'cos I wasn't really looking where I was going and I nearly bumped into a big sheep! The nice farmer lady next door had let the sheeps out to eat the grass round about my house and so I had a long chat with one of them and that's when I got another surprise 'cos the mister sheep told me that two of the lady sheeps had little baby sheeps but since it is awful cold the nice farmer lady put them inside a cosy barn so I couldn't see them. I was a bit disappointed but I will see them when they are a bit older, I hope.

Me and my humans have had another very good day but it has been so cold that I have only been out for two very quick trips and then I hammered on the window to be let inside again. My little weather man friend told me that it might snow on my little island, but he told me to be very careful 'cos it is going to be very cold, so I think I will just spend most of my day cosied up on the couch beside my MH who doesn't want to go out in the cold either.

I had a big long play with the old dear today and I liked it lots and lots and then because I had so much energy I ran and ran and ran all round my house for ages and ages. I scooted into the porch and then ran from there at breakneck speed into the bedroom, dived off the beds and then scooted into the living room where I ran along the back of the couch, jumped onto the swivel chair and then raced back into the porch again. I did this for about ten minutes until I finally collapsed onto my couch to have a wee rest, but by this time both my humans were in fits of laughter at me.

It was just the bestest of fun a pussy cat can have and I might even do it again later on and naturally you will be the first to know. Well, after me and my humans that is! :-))

A Wee Bit Busy

We have all been a wee bit busy today but we have had a good day. I am sleeping very well these nights and I have stopped wakening my MH in the middle of the night, but the funny thing is that she is wakening ME up! The poor old thing usually needs to get up to go to the toilet and by the time she has gathered up her sticks and rattled her way into the bathroom yours truly is wide awake. So I wait for her and then I ask if I could please have a wee biscuit and of course I get it. It is actually quite funny watching her 'cos she has a grabber stick which she uses to save her from bending over and she is getting really good at picking things up with it. I am just waiting until she tries to get me with it! I have noticed that my DH is staying out of its reach too!

Anyway, we were up quite early 'cos the nurse was coming to see my MH and it my DH had to go away to the boat to get her and bring her to my house. I hided under my couch for a wee while until I knew that she was a nice lady and then I came out and I let her stroke me and she told my MH that I was beautiful so that made us very happy.

She said I could go into the bedroom with them while she was helping the old dear and oft we all went. Now, do you remember the great big bit of elastoplast that I told you about? Well, the nurse took it off and at this point I just pretended to watch but to be honest, my dear friends, I had my adorable little eyes shut tight 'cos I have discovered that I am not very good with that kind of thing and sometimes I come over all unnecessary and have to lie down, and I didn't want the nurse to have to stop working with my MH to bring me round!

I would never have heard the end of it!

A Fun Day

I have had a really good day today and although it is still very cold on my little island, I just nip in and out for short times and have a wee run round my garden before I jump back in the window again and get warmed up.

We had some visitors today who came to see me and my MH and it was good to see them, but I'm afraid I gave the lady a fright 'cos I was sitting up on the back of the couch where she was sitting and I stretched out my adorable little paw which just happened to tickle her on the lug and it made her jump, and we all giggled.

When they went away, I was able to play with my MH 'cos she sat on the couch and played with me and my toys an she didn't need to get down on the floor and it made me very, very happy 'cos it is just the bestest of fun when my humans play with me.

I asked my DH to take a picture of me and the Boss with her new feather duster which she uses to help my DH do the housework so when she is having a wee walk some of the furniture gets tickled with this duster. See? When I was sitting on her knee she told me that when she was a very little girl of just about three or four, she used to go to tap dancing lessons and guess what she used? YES!!! A feather duster!

She has promised me that when her new hip isn't new any more, she will do some tap dancing for me with the feather duster and I promise you that I will learn how to work our video so that you can see it too.

Sure I am a very good puss?

More of the same

We are all into a nice routine now and I for one am very happy with it. It is quite cold on my little island, so although I go out quite often, I don't stay out long and as soon as I come in again, I jump up onto my MH's knee for a cuddle and a wee warm and that makes us both very happy.

My poor old DH is quite tired 'cos he is still not very well and because my MH is on her sticks he has a lot of work to do 'cos he has to do all the things that she can't. She is quite happy 'cos now he knows just how hard she works, and she is going to try and make sure he doesn't forget. Hee hee

I got a wee bit of a surprise though when my friend S. came to see us. I didn't think she would come today 'cos she came to see me on Friday, but she did and I liked it lots. She is my very bestest friend and I love her lots so I am always happy to see her. We played for a long time and she asked me to show her how my little treat ball worked, but I'm afraid I wouldn't and I suppose you will want to know why? Well, I just thought that if I showed her how to get my treats out, she might have eaten them all up herself and not leave any for me! One just never knows, does one?

Now, if you are wondering why there aren't any new photographs of yours truly it is because my MH hasn't been playing with her camera 'cos she is holding onto her sticks so she can't hold on to the camera at the same time, but she says she will soon be able to take some pictures of yours truly. So don't worry, new pictures will arrive soon.
