I'm being helpful as always. Mom and Auntie Mary have plans for today but they were STILL asleep this morning when they should have been up, so I helpfully rubbed noses with Mom so she'd wake up. She was very grateful and jumped up so she could go do that strange thing of standing under the water. Now I can relax in the glow of a job well done. Also, I've been on good terms with Auntie Mary most of the week. I checked her out thoroughly and declared her Threat Free. I've even graciously allowed her to give me head scritches.
Toby though... that boy has been UTB most of the week. Scaredy cat.
Leia, Leia... as usual, you have it wrong. I am NOT a scaredy cat!
I'm simply performing a very in-depth threat assessment here.
These things take time, y'know.
Can I help it if all Auntie Mary's references haven't come back yet???
And then they have to be verified, and a committee formed to render a decision,
and there is an appeals process....
Oh noes! Toby, you are still UTB? Seems like you need to streamline your processes! Betcha Leia is getting more treats than you, because she's kissing up...um, er...making friends with Auntie Mary!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, Toby, you need to expedite that process so you can get some head scritches from Auntie Mary!
ReplyDeleteSilly Toby, if your Mom lets someone stay there, they have to be nice.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with being cautious!
ReplyDeleteCammie!
Toby, I'm sure your stranger danger gauge is off and and your visitor is just fine!
ReplyDeleteBwa! Haa!! Haaa!!!
ReplyDeleteYous makes mes laughs! Mes used to hates strangers and "inspect" UTB until mes was about 12 or 13...
Kisses

Leia, what a helpful girl you are! Glad Auntie Marie passed your inspection. Sounds like you are getting along well with each other :-) Though, it seems Toby needs more complex process before giving approval! I hope he comes out from UTB before she leaves! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHey Toby! We think you should give Aunt Mary a chance.
ReplyDeleteHey, Toby, we hear Auntie Mary's credentials are spotless. You should give her a chance, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat "standing unner running water" thing baffles us. But TBT cant seem ta reach most of hisself with his tongue, so we guess he has to do desperate things ta keep clean.
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL MOL Toby you are tough nut to crack. Folks have to jump through hoops for your approval! Does Auntie Mary smell funny? Were you in the FBI in another life.
ReplyDeleteHugs madi your bfff
You all have made mom's day complete! And if her day is made mine is as well. I love Toby's perfectly reasonable and measured response to being a scaredy cat. Of course she takes her position with the utmost seriousness and makes sure no treat is unturned in her thorough investigation of Aunt Mary.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, you are only being cautious.
