The Adventures of Fearless Jack

Swimming lessons

Briana enrolled Hamlet and I in swimming lessons so we can be better pirates. At first I was afraid that she was going to try to drown us, but since she's sending us down the Cape to Chatham for lessons, Hamlet thinks we'll be OK.

Hamlet is signed up for lessons with the dolphins while I'm stuck swimming with the seals. I don't know why he gets the dolphins and I don't. Briana says it's because I'll fit in better with the seals since I'm black like they are.

I suppose I shouldn't complain about the seals. It's not their fault they're not as glamorous as the dolphins. Dolphins may be faster swimmers and showoffs, but seals are excellent swimmers too! They do all kinds of twists underwater and they can turn on a dime. They need to be acrobatic to avoid predators . . . Hey, wait a minute . . .

HAMLET!!! THOSE AREN'T DOLPHINS!!!!!!!

Cat of the Week!

I'm so excited that my angel brother Rufus is Cat of the Week! I started a thread in the Cat of the Week forum since Rufus was much too modest to start it himself. Please drop by and say hi. I'm sure Rufus would be happy to hear from all his friends. Thanks!

Yummies

Momma finally figured out why I've been trying to escape every night when she comes home. At first, she thought I was trying to escape the heat because our condo is so hot. Then tonight, Momma heard the yummies upstairs squawking. She was thinking about all the critters that live in our building - birds, cats, dogs. Then when I tried to escape she realized that I could also hear the birds squawking, but to me it sounds like someone calling me to supper!

She still wouldn't let me out though. *pouts*
