Birthdays

We've had one of those paper goody days where I get excited about the paper and everyone else seems to like what's inside. The other thing I like is that lots of people come to see me. That Beth came and lived here for a few days as well. No Gary Cat though. I hope he was alright with Ed looking after him. That Beth did some nice cooking for us all. Last night the he and she boss went out and it smelled like they'd eaten something nice again. This time they brought me back a nice bit of knuckly stuff. I think there might have been a bone in there somewhere too but I'm not allowed those. I like them very much but they always come back on the kitchen floor in the night so they can't be too keen on me.

The good things in life

The he and she boss know lots of nice people and they bring them here to meet me sometimes. The she boss says she sees some really nice people when she goes out in the car every day as well and especially some nice ladies. One really nice lady knows all about me and keeps sending me lots of socks to make my favourite toys for keeping my teeth clean. She only sends the socks though but the she boss has to do all the work and tie them up in the knots for me to throw around and chew. Perhaps she needs to give her some lessons.
I had 2 breakfasts today! It's all down to the poor communication between he and she boss. You'd think they'd know each other after all these years and you'd think the he boss would understand what I'm saying after all the years he's known me. The she boss gave me breakfast then the he boss just didn't notice that I wasn't really asking for food and my empty bowl was there and did it all again. Well I wasn't going to turn a gift cat away was I? So I ate it. When the she boss let me in the house I was very embarrassed and ashamed and she understood me enough to know what had happened.
I'm a bit hungry now as I had all my day's food in one go and have got to wait until tomorrow morning now. I hope it's worth the wait

Starving!

They forgot to feed me!!! The she boss only has to go out for the evening, leaving everyone else here including that Beth and they forget all about my needs! That Beth got through 2 whole boxes of cakes while she was here and didn't even give a thought to my belly. It's not as if there's a lot of weight on me to risk losing any of it. I'm glad the she boss was here this morning cos she gave me a really good dinner to make up for yesterday

News

They all went out and left me tonight. They came back smelling like they'd had something nice to eat. Shame they didn't take me. Do you know what I eat every day? Look at it; how boring can you get? ........










Then by contrast, have you seen what these guys get to eat? I saw the she boss looking at it on here. They didn't invite me.




Mind you, I had a look at the paper when they all went out. There were some interesting things in there today. The paper people were telling whoever reads it to stop putting out bread for the birds because it doesn't do anything for them. They're saying they need cake instead. That suits me. The she boss puts nuts out for ours and they're right messy eaters - far worse than me - and always drop some so if she starts giving them cake instead and they drop that ........
The other thing I saw was about someone getting in trouble for knitting. Something to do with making the right copies. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article3926859.ece
What they need to know is that the she boss got in there first and made a knitted copy of me a long time ago. Pity she got the colour wrong

Was it something I said? .......

Or something I did? Or do I just smell and no one likes to tell me. None of my friends who come are staying around for long lately. The Friend Peter came, gave me a nice bit of fuss, ate a dinner, then went again! Patrick came round but wouldn't even come in the door. I'm trying not to take it personally. The she boss and me had a very nice walk this afternoon though. At least she loves me. It was very windy but not as bad as last night when it was dark and I was too scared to go out in the garden
I heard them talking on the radio in the car this week about these pills to keep you happy. They said they don't work; that pretend ones work just as well. Well, I have it on very good authority that some dog friends of mine, never mind the people ones have had these things and they did work. If they'd have tried out the pretend ones on my dog friends, it would have been a waste of money wouldn't it cos of course they wouldn't have worked but the real ones did. So there

In trouble again

Something's not right and I don't understand it at all. The she boss keeps going to sleep here, there and everywhere. She's not playing with me when I ask either. It's not like her at all. I hope she gets back to normal soon. They all forgot to feed me this morning. Beth's been here this week and she's been remembering but I think she was in a hurry today. That's the trouble with having black fur. No one notices you're there although I do my best to make my presence known.
Tonight the he and she boss had eaten dinner and then left one for me on the table. I'm never allowed to eat until they've finished and I know they always feed me out by my bed but I assumed this one was for me to make up for the morning especially as it was so nice. I must have got something wrong as I seem to be in real trouble. I sat up nicely at the table to eat it. Maybe it was because I didn't bother with the knife and fork they left me. I wasn't too sure about drinking my water out of the narrow glass either

Paper and other things

I was right! We've just had that day when there's loads of paper for me to eat. They didn't let me eat that much that I got tummy ache this time like I did one year. It was nice cos we had some visitors - Nan and Grandad came and shared dinner then Uncle Dave came later. I've never met his 2 dogs but they smell very interesting.
I had a present! Beth gave me an interesting package. That is, it was interesting when she gave it to me. I didn't find it so interesting when she made me go past the paper.

In fact I haven't felt so stupid in a long time. Grrrr. Expecting ME, THE Millie Dog to dress up in a pathetic Father Christmas hat.

We had loads of visitors the next day too which wasn't as much fun as they included 2 of those little people so I got out of the way and spent all evening outside on my own in bed :(

Self cleaning

My hints must have worked. The she boss starting having a go at the oven today. I can see through the window now at last to see what she's doing for dinner :D

Food

I love it when they have a chicken for Sunday dinner - loads of leftover scraps and it was a big one this week so I've had bits nearly every day. Brill. Can still run though. Look at my pics. Hope I don't embarrass anyone with my one without clothes but I do like the sunshine
