Dad has been home all week allowing strangers on our property!
A tuxedo cat from the neighborhood visited us twice this week. He perches on top of the fence in our backyard and we have a staredown. The Furbies' birth mom is a tuxedo but it's not her.
We've been having trouble with our wireless router, so a strange guy came in the house a couple of days ago and used a ladder to check the cables running through the attic. I was trying to climb the ladder, so Dad had to bring me in the office with him and shut the door. I just wanted to say hello and help! When Mom came home for lunch, she knew I'd be out and about, so she went to check under the bed and saw 8 pairs of kitty eyes! Just like the dogs, I believe that anybody who comes to the house is here to see me!
Yesterday we had more strangers come to visit! A guy came to replace our water heater which is in the garage. I listened by the door and heard him give a quote to Dad that was higher than what he was quoted over the phone. Of course, when they give quotes on the phone, they give the low-end to the high-end and it always ends up being the high-end. Why is that? Anyway, the guy quoted above the high-end and Dad was ready to send him away so they talked to the supervisor over the phone and they lowered the price!
Quincy, the younger of my two dog brothers, likes to tease Mom and Dad by pulling up patches of grass from the backyard. Eventually, those areas become nothing but dirt which we love to lay and roll around in, so yesterday some more strange guys were here and brought all kinds of strange stuff into our backyard. We're getting new grass and I have to supervise from inside the house! They're supposed to be finished today. I hope so, because we all want to go outside and enjoy the warm weather we're having.
Happy Easter and Happy Spring to all our friends!
Love,
Mercy
