Wordless Wednesday: Sneaky Brother Edition

Note: We’ll be a little slow responding to things the next few days because the head peep is at Global Pet Expo. We can’t wait to bring you all of the news she collects there!

Sunday in the Garden

Newton: We know that the blogosphere likes Thursday in the Garden, but the head peep worked in the garden yesterday, and I helped. Well, I provided supervision from the safety of behind the screened door.

The garden needed it, too. Good help is so hard to find.

I settled in to my supervisory duties.

The head peep doesn’t like gardening, and some of the things I heard her say made my ears burn. I heard her say something about paving over the garden when she was digging up the big mess of weed-infested shrubs.

And look what she found when she pulled the shrubs out!

Are you going to bring that over here to me? It looks like fun!

She didn’t. Good help really is hard to find.

She kept on working on the garden. After a while, she started talking about filling it up with rocks and artificial plants instead of dirt.

Then she found another snake.

Ashton: That looks like a string!

Pierre: You’re going to bring that to us, right?

Newton: Hey, whose story is this?

Pierre: Newton doesn’t know how to share toys, either.

Newton: *sighs* Finally, after two snakes that never came inside to play and several HBO words, the garden was done.

Newton: I’m going to have to use my lazy Sunday to catch up on my sleep after staying awake to supervise so much. But first I need to check to be sure she didn’t bring in a snake after all.

Safety First: Mardi Gras Toys

Newton: Check out the special Mardi Gras toys the head peep brought us!

Newton: Whoa, what the….

Newton: No one told me that I was expected to wear these.

Newton: This is so undignified. I’m going to hide back here where no one can see me.

Unfamiliar objects, used as toys, can cause entanglement. Always supervise to make sure that nothing unexpected happens!

Ashton: I just knew those things were dangerous.

Pierre: This is more embarrassing than dangerous. Mancats don’t wear beads.

Pierre: You were laughing at me, weren’t you? Stop that. I just want to have some fun with these beads.

Pierre: They make an enticing sound when they slide across the floor, and they feel great in my claws.

Pierre: You’re not getting away this time!

Pierre: * Arrrrgh!* *Gack!*

The game was over when Pierre managed to wedge the beads between his teeth and couldn’t get them out. He flung his head back and forth until someone could catch the beads and gently pull them free from his teeth. He probably would have worked them free eventually, but he might have injured himself before he realized he could get free. Supervised play with unfamiliar toys is always the safest route.
