A Spoonful of Sugar

How humiliating!

Today is grocery day. My favorite day of the week! Mom comes home and puts all those bags of wonderful smelling stuff on the kitchen counter, and I help her unpack it all! And sometimes there's even a milk ring for me when we're done!

So today, I'm prowling through the bags, looking for the milk, of course, and Mom makes me get down off the counter. So, of course, I jump back up. She said 'Sugar, there is no milk today.' Well, OK. But I still want to help. So there are sooooooo many bags, and I'm getting really excited, so I back up to the tile and tinkle! Just a teeny tiny little bit. Teeny. Tiny. Really! Mom was not amused. She picked me up and put me out on the porch! And the window was closed, so I had to stay out there! Hmph. Of all the ... Me! Banned to the porch! Well, I am not amused!

She even took pictures! How humilitating!

A day late ...

but still wanted to thank Catster HQ for naming me as a Diary Pick of the Day yesterday! Wow. Twice in a month! I want to thank my pals for the rosettes and good wishes ... it wouldn't be near as much fun to be a DDP without my friends!

Well, we got our new FAS, and it's great! Of course, Ollie had to hog it! He can't play with it like the rest of us. He attacks it. He's already torn the little felt ears off of it! Mom tried to get him to play with the first one we got (which he has already wrecked), but he wants to play with the new one so he can destroy it too. She says the FAS' are "battery-eaters," so she won't turn them on for us but for a few minutes at a time. Is a "battery-eater" like a tuna eater? I've never eaten a battery. They don't smell too good to me.

There's a new queen in town!

And it's me!!!! Daisy has always been the Bacon Queen at our house. She used to go nuts when Mom would cook bacon. She would sit and wait while it cooked, then yell at Mom to give her some.

But today when Mom made bacon, it was ME who was yelling! Bacon, Bacon, Bacon! So I got my share and Daisy's too! Daisy ate a little bite, but that was all she wanted. Not me! That's good stuff! How come Daisy didn't tell me what I was missing? Well, now I know, and I won't be missing it anymore!

P.S. Guess what came in the mail yesterday!! The Fling-ama-String! Woohooo!! Mom says she has to get batteries, then it will be ready to go! Oh yeah!
