Tommy says "...."

So today I go Scuba-diving with Liz and Alan in Monterey and leave Skye and Tommy in John's capable hands! Tommy tells me all about it when I get back.......

"I was so confused when you got up at 5:30 this morning mummy. You made me think it was later and I jumped off my futon bed in anticipation of the day and was ready to go! You even opened up the deck door and let me chase away all those pesky racoons for you! You got annoyed when I barked though..I can't seem to help myself and I DID think it was later anyway. I was very upset when you left without me, but soon got over it and took over your spot in your bed and snuggled in with daddy. Ah, a few hours alone without my pesky wee sister Skye in tow. Luxury.

Soon it was 7am and the little toe-rag made her presence know to all. Daddy staggered downstairs to get her ladyship (looking rather scary I must admit in his big white underpants - I must tell Grandma Angie to buy him sexier underwear in the future :-) ). I love my wee sister but she gets far too much attention. I remember when I used to be the center of attention - sigh.

After daddy fed Skye, I was suddenly remembered and was lucky enough to be fed! Thank goodness. Sometimes I have to take extreme measures to make mummy and daddy remember to feed me! One day I even went as low as to steal mummies cheese-on-toast as it waited to be melted in the toaster oven. To this day mummy does not believe that daddy actually made her breakfast that day - tee hee ;-)

Anyway, I got fed and thought , yipee now time for a walk! No such luck...we all jump in the truck and head off to Cosco!!! Oh no!!!! I hate Costco. I get left in the car and daddy and Skye go off together without me. It's soooo boring. I amuse myself by sitting on all of the seats and pretending to drive the truck for awhile. Then I see a cutie-pie chocolate lab a few cars down and I make doggie-eyes at her. She blows hot air on her window and writes down her phone number in the mist. Maybe I'll call her..if she's lucky ;-)

Soon daddy and Skye come back. Maybe I'll get a walk now??? We drive and drive and eventually stop half way up a windy road. It's walkie time!!! Yippee!! I am sooo excited and I run about all over the place. Daddy has Skye in the baby carrier and she seems quite happy. She likes going for walks....she told me so. I can understand baby talk you know and we quite often have wee chats when no-one is listening. Anyway I frolick in the bushes and grass making sure I find some of the green and red plant which everyone seems to talk about. Poison something?? I can't remember...it doesn't seem to bother me though. I then run back and rub myself against daddy to let him know I love him. If I'm nice to him, i may get fed later! Much too soon, the walk is over and we head back to the truck. It's all Skyes fault as it's almost time to feed her.

When we get back, mummy has just arrived. I LOVE my mummy. She is so beautiful and kind and is the best mummy in the world, even though she is sometimes pre-occupied with Skye these days.

We all have a lovely evening in, relaxing and watching a gruesome BBC America murder mystery on the TV.

I head off into dreamland to dream of Raccoons and baby sisters :-)
