It rained continuously all the last light. I was bored. I seemed to spend my time moving from one sleeping place to another and I know it's possible I was grouchy. Not likely but just possible. I did go and sit on the front step outside the big clearway a couple of times to try and will the rain to stop but that didn't seem to work, and I couldn't do it too often as the longlegs shut the clearway and sometimes forget I'm out there. I only managed because the clearway had to be opened to guests and I was able to get back in. It's clear they were having a party and I think it may have been for my 'The Her'. I could hear the constant clink of their bowls hitting each other as the Longlegs say “Cheers” and they had plenty of food. On this occasion I stayed away though the smells did tempt me because there were too many of their big paws around to tread on me. I was also wary as my 'The Him' didn't seem too thrilled when one female Longlegs extended her hand towards me and I showed her what Finger foodreally means. Well, how am I to know that fingers coming towards me don't always mean food. I'm pretty sure she'll heal alright though.
So, I was bored. Towards the end of the light the guests left and I wandered through to the eating place where my dishes are kept. Lo and behold they were full of treats. Salmon, tuna and even shrimp. Someone had even dropped a sandwich full of ham and there was good lick-able butter on the bread. I had a feast, but it is possible I may have rushed things a bit instead of savouring it because I was a little sick. I would probably have been OK had I not done it in front of my 'The Him' on his carpet and over his paw coverings. He didn't seem to be willing to offer me comfort and there was no, “Oh poor Oscar”, just an almighty roar of “What the!!!”. He stomped off out of the room muttering to himself as my 'The Her' came through to clean the carpet. “You never learn do you Oscar?” she said but did give me a quick hug.
My 'The Him' returned with fresh covers on his paws and took his seat, The muttering had stopped. He patted the place beside him and I jumped up knowing he'd forgiven me. Of course he really had no choice in that since he works to look after me. I walked across his knees and back. As I started the journey again he stopped me and gave me a hug. “Settle down now Oscar, I want to read the paper”.
I completed the journey and on the return I settled on his knee to rest. He picked up the paper and started to read. After a few moments he said “Just listen to this Julia my Dear” and read something out. She looked up at him and nodded as he spoke but continued with her knitting. He was quiet again and I tried to sleep.
There was no chance of that as he said “and the Government want to..” before he himself was interrupted.”David Dear, do be quiet, I'll read the paper myself later, don't spoil it”. I turned around and started to settle again and heard “Do stop wriggling Oscar, I think I'll make a cup of tea Dear, would you like one?” as he stood up pushing me to the floor.
I gathered myself and walked over to settle with my 'The Her' instead but she wouldn't let me up on her knee because of her knitting. They never seem to realise their priorities. I settled on the arm of her seat but that wasn't going to work as her in and out elbow kept catching my ear. I gave it up as a bad job and left. I knew they'd miss me but it was their own fault. They'd had their chance. I settled on my 'The Hers' sleeping place and finished my nap.
