The Great Toast Caper

Ashton: Our human ate toast at her desk today. I got tired of waving for her to pinch pieces of toast off for me and grabbed a slice. This is mine now.

Ashton: Mine.

Newton: Hi, Ash.

Ashton: What are you looking at? Did you never seen toast in the bedroom before?

Newton: That’s a big piece of toast. Can I have some?

Ashton: Mine.

Cupcake: Is that toast? I thought I heard the toaster. 

Ashton: Stop looking at my toast.  

Newton: Now you know how Pierre feels when you stand next to him while he is eating and give his bowl the eye.

Cupcake: Make her look at you, Mr. Newton, and I’ll just–

Newton: I’ve got it, kid. 

Ashton: My toast!

Cupcake: I can watch it for you while you go to the water bowl.

Cupcake Met the Easter Bunny

Cupcake’s track record with holiday-themed meet-and-greets hasn’t been great. She was afraid of Santa Claus in past years. But when we heard she had the chance to see the Easter Bunny, I thought she would do fine in her stroller after all of the strangers she met from it at Global Pet Expo.

She wasn’t sure what to make of the Easter Bunny’s mittened hands, but she sat in her stroller next to the big rabbit for photos.

Afterward, she stood up, and it seemed like she was ready to have another photo, so Cat Dad helped by picking her up and sitting with the Easter Bunny. Cupcake still didn’t approve of those bunny mittens.

Then there was a question about which direction to look for the camera. Not back there, Cupcake. That’s the adoption center! They aren’t taking photos there.

Cat Dad pointed out where to look for her.

This modeling thing isn’t so hard!

Cupcake’s Got a Boyfriend

Cupcake: Oh, hi, Rocco. Nice of you to look in my window like that. Did you know your paw poked me in the butt?

Cupcake: How are you today, Rocco?

Cupcake: Want to touch noses?

Cupcake: Whoa! The tongue thing is a little too personal.

Cupcake: I’ll keep my tongue over here if you keep yours over there. Deal?

Misadventures with Ashton

Ashton: I was minding my own business, cuddling into my favorite spot on the sofa when it happened.

Ashton: I was closed in a carrier and off we went to the vet’s office. I remembered this place, and I didn’t like it.

They weighed me and said I had gained half a pound. Does this mean I can’t share English Muffins in the monring any more?

Ashton: It was a long day, and I was so glad to be home. As much as I loved sleeping in my carrier before my vet trip, I won’t do it now. No way. I’m going to sleep here instead.

Ashton: This spot is warm and cozy. And most important, it isn’t going anywhere.
