The Wild Boys The adventure continues... February 22, 2010 DEAR EDDIE AND LEILA, WE KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN ANXIOUSLY AWAITING AN UPDATE FROM US.
AFTER ALL, WE ARE YOUR FAVORITE KIDS, RIGHT!!?? (ARE THEIR OTHER
NEW SIBLINGS WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT?) WE TRY
SO HARD TO MAKE YOU PROUD!
WELL FOR STARTERS WE HAD OUR FIRST FAMILY THANKSGIVING. GRANDMA KAY AND AUNTIE JAMIE CAME FROM ATLANTA TO VISIT. THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE US. WE HELPED GET THEM ALL SETTLED AND UNPACK THEIR LUGGAGE SO THEY COULD DEVOTE ALL THEIR TIME AND ATTENTION TO US! MOM THINKS THEY WERE HERE TO SEE HER…WRONG!! WE HAD THEM WRAPPED AROUND OUR LITTLE PAWS WITHIN MINUTES, DANGLING TOYS, CHASING MICE, THROWING BALLS. IT WAS GREAT!! MOM FIXED A BIG TURKEY DINNER AND THAT’S WHEN THE PROBLEMS
BEGAN. EVERYONE WAS SITTING AROUND THE TABLE ENJOYING THEIR MEAL WHEN MOM
STARTED YELLING AND GRABBING HER GUN.SIMBA WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT, ON THE COUNTER
(WHICH IS PROHIBITED!), WITH HIS HEAD STUCK IN THE TURKEY’S UM….WELL LET’S JUST
SAY IT WASN’T THE NECK END!! OH NO, THAT LITTLE DUMBELL COULDN’T JUST SNATCH A
FEW BITES OF WHAT WAS ALREADY CUT, HE HAD TO GO ON AN EXPEDITION IN THE BIG
TURKEY CAVERN! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THAT TURKEY CARCASS WAS NOT USED FOR ANY TURKEY
STEW. WE SPENT THE REST OF THE HOLIDAY, WATCHING FOOTBALL ON THE BIG
SCREEN WITH PRISSY ON OUR SPECIAL SOFA IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE. THAT WAS
ENOUGH DRAMA FOR ONE HOLIDAY! SOON AFTER, MOM AND DAD BROUGHT A REALLY LARGE GREEN TREE INTO THE LIVING ROOM. FROM THE MOMENT WE SAW IT, ALL WE COULD THINK OF WAS GETTING TO THE TOP OF IT. THEN THEY STARTED HANGING ALL KINDS OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE SHINY CAT BALLS ALL OVER. OUR EXCITEMENT WAS GROWING BY THE MINUTE, I MEAN ONLY THE GREATEST OF PARENTS WOULD ARRANGE FOR US TO HAVE A WINTER PLAYGROUND LIKE THAT!! WELL THE EXCITEMENT WAS SHORT LIVED WHEN WE REALIZED WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING IN OR ON THAT TREE . EVERY TIME WE GOT NEAR THE THING, HERE CAME PISTOL PACKING MOM TO SPOIL OUR FUN! WE HAD TO HAVE OUR FUN ON COVERT NIGHTTIME MISSIONS, REMOVING THE BALLS AND CHASING THEM AROUND THE HOUSE UNDER THE COVER OF DARKNESS, AND OF COURSE WE HAD TO HAVE THE “YOU ARE SUCH BAD WILD BOYS “TALK MOST MORNINGS, IT WAS SO WORTH IT! WE DON’T THINK SHE EVER FOUND ALL OF THE ONES WE HAD HIDDEN. THEN THINGS STARTED TO LOOK UP! MOM STARTED PILING UP BOXES
WITH PRETTY RIBBONS UNDER THE TREE AND OF COURSE WE HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS IN
THEM. WE WERE PROHIBITED AGAIN, FROM TOUCHING THEM BUT MUCH TO OUR DELIGHT
ON CHRISTMAS DAY, WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE ALL FOR US! THE ONLY RULE WAS THAT
WE HAD TO LET ANOTHER PERSON TEAR THE PAPER OFF AND REMOVE THE STUFFING MATERIAL
FOR US. IT WAS A LONG TEDIOUS PROCESS AS EVERYONE HAD TO GET INVOLVED AND WE
STILL CAN’T QUITE FIGURE OUT WHY THE BOXES HAD TO BE STUFFED WITH CLOTHING,
TV’S, JEWELRY AND HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT ELSE. BUT ONCE THE CONTENTS WERE REMOVED,
THE BOXES WERE OURS! WE ARE THE LUCKIEST KITTIES IN THE WORLD! WE JUMPED
FROM BOX TO BOX, SHREDDED PAPER, PLAYED HIDE AND SEEK, IT WAS GREAT!
THE BEST GIFT OF ALL WAS THE ONE FROM GRANDMA KAY. IT IS THIS CUTE LITTLE MONKEY THAT STARTS LAUGHING IT’S HEAD OFF WHEN YOU TOUCH IT. IT ROLLS AROUND AND LAUGHS LIKE A HYENA! SIMBA WAS ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND THEY HAVE BECOME QUITE CLOSE AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES. WE ONLY HAD ONE INCIDENT, AND OF COURSE SIMBA WAS INVOLVED. HE DECIDED TO HELP WITH THE CLEANUP. HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK IN THE BIG BAG MOM WAS USING TO CLEAN UP. SO HE DUG HIMSELF DOWN DEEP AND PLAYED DEAD. WELL FORTUNATELY AS MOM HEADED TO THE TRASH CAN WITH THE BAG, DUMBO DECIDED TO START JUMPING AROUND AND WHEN MOM OPENED THE BAG, THERE HE WAS! HE WAS LUCKY HER DIDN’T END UP LIVING AT THE LANDFILL! HE DOES THE DUMBEST THINGS, ARE YOU GUYS SURE HE WASN’T DROPPED ON HIS HEAD AT BIRTH?! WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT NEXT YEAR BRINGS. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO GROW, MOSTLY SUNDANCE. HE IS A WHOPPING
FIFTEEN POUNDS OF LEAN, MEAN, FIGHTING MACHINE. SIMBA IS GOING TO BE THE LITTLE
GUY, BUT HE IS GETTING USED TO IT AND TRIES TO MAKE UP FOR IT IN BIG WAYS. HE
HAS MOM CALLING HIM THE “SWEETEST LITTLE KITTY IN THE WHOLE WORLD”! HE HAS THIS
BED IN THE CHAIR IN THE KITCHEN HE LOVES TO CURL UP IN AND SHE GOES AND RUBS HIM
AND HE JUST SQUIRMS AND BURIES HIS LITTLE HEAD IN THE CORNERS WHILE SHE RUBS HIS
BELLY. IT IS BECOMING QUITE NAUSEATING TO WATCH. I KEEP TELLING HIM TO ACT LIKE
A BIG LEOPARD, BUT HE’S KIND OF A WHINY SPOILED BRAT. HE SAYS IT’S A CONTROL
GAME FOR HIM AND MOM IS NOT THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT IN THE CHANDELIER, IF YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN! SHE HAS NO CLUE THAT WE ARE IN TOTAL CONTROL. WE TELL HER WHEN SHE
CAN PICK US UP, FEED US, CLEAN OUR LITTER BOXES. HOPE SHE NEVER FIGURES IT OUT!! AS FOR OUR ADDING TO THE FAMILY, THERE WAS AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT. REMEMBER THE LITTLE SQUIRREL WE TOLD YOU ABOUT POSSIBLY ADOPTING? WE NAMED HIM BOB (HE HAD LOST MOST OF HIS TAIL IN A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT) CLEVER, HUH??! WELL HE JUST STOPPED COMING TO THE BACK DOOR. WE WERE SO WORRIED AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER WE GOT THE BAD NEWS. BOB HAD TRIED TO CROSS THE STREET, WITHOUT LOOKING BOTH WAYS FIRST, AND THE CAR COULDN’T STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING HIM. FLATTENED HIM LIKE A PANCAKE! WE HAD A LITTLE SERVICE FOR HIM AND PUT UP A PEANUT GRAVE MARKER FOR HIM. IT WAS PRETTY DEVASTATING. A WEEK OR SO AFTER THAT WE MET SQUEAKY. HE WAS A CUTE LITTLE HOMELESS FIELD MOUSE TRYING TO GET SOME SHELTER FROM THE FRIGID WINTER WEATHER. HE SNUCK IN ONE NIGHT WHILE MOM AND DAD WERE SLEEPING. OF COURSE, WE HEARD HIM AND HAD TO INVESTIGATE. FOR A FEW DAYS, WE PLAYED “CAT AND MOUSE” WITH HIM AND EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT UNTIL MOM SPOTTED HIM! SHE STARTED SCREAMING LIKE A MANIAC FOR DAD TO “GET RID OF THAT THING” (OBVIOUSLY FORGOT HER MEDS THAT MORNING!). DAD IS ALWAYS TRYING TO KEEP PEACE IN THE HOUSE SO WE NEVER HEARD FROM SQUEAKY AGAIN. WE THINK HE HAD ONE OF THOSE “MARIE ANTOINETTE” EXPERIENCES! NO ONE WILL TALK ABOUT IT. WE STILL HAVE PRISSY AND SHE IS STARTING TO UNDERSTAND WE ARE
THE ALPHA MALES IN THE HOUSE AND SHE PRETTY MUCH DOES AS SHE IS TOLD. WHEN SHE
ANNOYS US, WE TRAP HER AND HOLD HER DOWN UNTIL SHE SCREAMS FOR MOM TO SAVE HER.
SHE’S NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER EITHER . SHE TRIES TO SNEAK IN AND
HELP WITH THE CLEANING OF THE LITTER BOXES ! I MEAN “HELLO” WE ARE NOT LEAVING
MILKBONES IN THERE. WE ALL FIND IT A LITTLE DISTURBING, ESPECIALLY MOM. SHE HAS
A NICKNAME FOR HER AND IT RHYMES WITH “BIRD EATER! GROSS!!! WE HAVE STILL NOT GOTTEN THE SLEEPING SITUATION UNDER CONTROL. MOM AND DAD CONTINUE TO INSIST ON OCCUPYING SPACE IN THE BIG BED, BUT WE HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON OUR EFFORTS TO GET THEM OUT. WE RUN THROUGH THE BLINDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, BRING OUR SQUEAKING TOYS AND BAT THEM AROUND, NIBBLE ON ELBOWS AND TOES AND OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE THING IS TO GET REAL CLOSE TO THEIR FACES IN THE MORNINGS! WE SNEAK UP REAL QUIET AND STARE AT THEM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY WAKE UP WITH BIG CAT EYES IN THEIR FACES. IF THEY FAIL TO WAKE UP, WE PUT OUR COLD NOSES ON THEIR FACES AND THAT USUALLY DOES THE TRICK! WE WILL CONTINUE WITH OUR EFFORTS. THE LAST THING WE HAVE TO REPORT IS THAT SUNDANCE HAS LEARNED TO FETCH! WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A DOG THING BUT APPARENTLY HE THINKS IT’S PRETTY COOL. HE TAKES HIS BALL, DROPS IT AT THEIR FEET AND THEY TOSS IT. HE RUNS AND CATCHES IT AND RETURNS TO DROP IT FOR THEM TO THROW AGAIN. HE CAN DO THIS FOR HOURS. I THINK I WILL JUST STICK TO THE CURL UP IN THE CHAIR AND GET MY BELLY RUBBED THING, FOR NOW. WELL THAT’S OUR NEWS FOR NOW, SO WE WILL SIGN OFF. WE’LL DROP YOU A LINE IN A FEW MONTHS TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON. WE STILL HAVE NO PLANS TO EVER RETURN TO THE OLD HOMESTEAD. WE ARE LIVING UP TO OUR REPUTATION!!!!! WE ARE THE KINGS OF THIS CASTLE AND WE HAVE PRISONERS!!!! PURRS AND MEOWS, SUNDANCE & SIMBA, YOUR “WILD BOYS”
