Buzzers - Ten O'Clock High

The past few weeks have flown by. The house has been full of strangers and it is starting to get warm again so we sit outside for a lot of the time. Our games consist of fighting over bones, chasing the Boss and the Other Boss as soon as they come into the garden, and of course fighting over and chasing sticks. But today we found a new game. We often play with the Other Boss when he throws biscuits into the air and we catch them – and we never give them back! Some biscuits are boring; others have currants in them and are fantastic. We think the Boss has invented a new game. The Boss came into the kitchen from the garden and brought a flying currant with her. It fly by Raven’s nose and then Jack’s nose but as quick as a flash it had flown under the table, up across the room, and settled on the window. It flew around us again but we never caught it. It makes a strange buzzing sound, which is different to all the biscuit currants because they are silent. We reckon the flying currant must be quite valuable because the Boss tried to catch it and put it back (back where? – we don’t know). She did catch it, but it broke and stopped buzzing, and we didn’t even get the chance to share it. This might be some kind of summer toy so we are hoping for another go tomorrow with a new one.

In the Company of Strangers

We have seen first hand the difference between our feeding and how the Boss and the Other Boss get food. Our stuff is always in a bowl. We know Bowl equals Food. There is often trouble because our bowls look alike and we both tuck into the other bowl whoever finishes first. The Boss and the Other Boss always eat with their food high up on a table in the place where they make the food hot. So that’s quite straightforward - until this week. While the Other Boss was away the Boss went to the top of Lattrig and had special food. A Stranger brought it, another Stranger helped out, but another Stranger sat at the table and shared the food with the Boss. A lot of people came to watch so we reckon that it must be some kind of ceremony. If they were wishing it would stop raining it didn’t work. The Other Boss arrived home as usual and we don’t think he knows anything about it. We tried to tell him about it but he just yelled for us to be quiet. We are watching out for the Lattrig Stranger in case he comes back.
