The Strange Files of Elvin Jones

Semi-Good Boy

This morning my female human wanted to cuddle me before she left but she didn't want to sit on the couch and get my sisters' hair all over her pants. She called my name and pointed to the spot on the couch that she wanted me to sit in and I did! She said, "Elvin, you're a semi-good boy. You're the only one around here who does what I say!"

My sisters spent the rest of the day heckling me. HM said I might as well be a dog if I'm going to act like that and every time I was about to fall asleep, I'd hear one of them whispering, "Elvin is a semi-good dog" in my ear.

Sisters!

Hilda Update

My sister has been back from the vet since Monday. She claims she doesn't remember some of the conversations we had during the first three days she was back because of the pain patch she was wearing. She sure said some crazy things!

Hetty Miep is still a little mad at Hilda for some of the things she said, but I know it was the pain meds talking and not really Hilda. I'm just glad we didn't have to stage an intervention.

In other news: it's great to be one of the Catster featured diaries of the day!

In other other news: Hetty Miep ate one of my eyebrows again (this happened several weeks ago; it's difficult to get our transcriptionist to record these events in a timely manner).

Hilda Blues

Normally, when it is time for the humans to sleep, I sleep at the end of their bed. Last night, though, I became worried when I didn't see my sister Hilda anywhere.

I ran around the house calling for Hilda to come out after the Humans went to sleep. I even ran up and down the hallway to try and get her to chase me, like she likes to do. No Hilda.

Then, I brought out the bouncy balls and batted them up and down the hallway. No Hilda.

I took the bouncy balls to the humans' bedroom and meowed for Hilda to come join me. Still no Hilda.

H. picked me up and hugged me. She reminded me that Hilda can't come home until Monday.

I miss my sister!
