There's a hole in my heart..

There's a hole in my heart where you used to be
Your going has left me unable to see

For tears fill my eyes each time I think of you
I know this will pass but can't believe that it's true.

How do I fill this space that you've left?
I'm hurting inside, I feel so bereft.

You'll always be with me in spirit I know
I hear your loud purring wherever I go.

I'll always remember those cold winter days
and you by the fire while by the hour you'd laze

Your mouse hunting exploits were second to none
You'd bring them inside to let me have some fun.

Queen of our home, dog bluffer without peer
Bella, your memory I'll keep close never fear.

A Master Plan

Well friends, my master plan for removing that pesky kitten is underway! I've decided to fight my battle in secret without the humans realising what I'm up to. On the surface, it LOOKS like I'm mellowing in my old age. I haven't packed my bags and left home like I did when Tabbie arrived. I haven't stopped eating in protest. NO fellow conspirators! I'm using my secret weapon... Hamish!

I must admit I've tried a few undercover attacks myself, you know, hissing and spitting at the pest, boxing his ears, stealing his food. But, they didn't work. So now I've gotten smart. Why do all the work yourself?? I'll just let that big dummy Hamish get rid of the intruder. So, I told Hamish that the kittie would be a great playmate for him, how it would love to play tug of war and wrestle! He believed me! What a gulible fool he is! Now all I have to do is sit back and wait for the results! One squashed and frightened kitten coming up! Mum will be so distressed that she'll find a new home for the little monster and it'll be back to just ME (as it should be).

Well hopefully my next diary entry will be one of victory! Till then my friends...

Intruders in our midst

I first had my suspicions that we were being invaded when Dad came home the other day with a tray and a bag of what smelled like kitty litter. He also came home with a couple of new collars. Somehow I knew they weren't for me. I can wear only one at a time after all.

Then on Sunday, the parents went out all day and came home very late. I was already in bed so I didn't notice anything amiss, but, the next morning, the door to the guest bedroom was closed. That's one of my favourite napping spots, so I wasn't very impressed. Why is it off limits all of a sudden??

Well I found out later that afternoon. WE HAVE TWO NEW INTRUDERS IN THE HOUSE!!!

Mum must have been hiding them in my spare room!!! Anyway, they came creeping downstairs yesterday evening and didn't I give them what for!! I told them to get out of my house in no uncertain terms. But they didn't go! Mum says that one of them is only here for a short time, but the other one is staying!!! NOT HAPPY!!!

This is MY house, and those are MY humans. and MY dogs. We'll just see how long they stay. I'm off to formulate a plan of attack. See you later people.
