Garp and Hilda have been campaigning for an intervention for Hetty Miep. I’ve been trying to remain neutral. It’s true that Hetty Miep does have some issues (case in point, my right eyebrow whiskers will never be the same). But she can be a useful ally. And a very dangerous enemy.
I’m not so sure I can remain neutral much longer, though. The other day, I had just settled into enjoying the new box that H. specially ordered for me (H. even had the company pack two pairs of shoes in my special box just so that the box wouldn’t get damanged on the way to our house). After a couple of hours of napping in the box, I was playing the host and giving Hilda and Garp a tour of my new pad.
THEN, out of nowhere and without any warning, Hetty Miep jumped on the table (where the box was stationed) and ran around the box while banging on it (and us!) with her paws. It was like we were ping pong balls her her paws were paddles. Let me tell you, Hetty Miep has a mean right paw too! After she’d pushed us all off the table, Hetty Miep knocked the box off of the table (as a further testament of her brute strength) and then crawled into the box. When any of us tried to approach the box, Hetty Miep would thrust an angry white paw out of the box. “You want some?!” she shouted. “You think you can take me? Bring it!”
Then the next day, in a peak of madness, Hetty Meip determined that the only way she could protect “her” box was to destroy it. Yes, that’s right. Hetty Miep tried to attack (ie, chew up) her own box.
Yes, I fear my siblings are correct. An intervention is needed.
A. and H. have mentioned some “vacation” that they are getting ready to take. I think that might be just the right time to stage our intervention without the humans interfering.
