Is Gutter Romeo to Sophie’s Juliette? And if so, didn’t a very young Taylor Swift have a similar tune? If so, we hope for a much happier ending for our maybe couple.
Did Gutter throw the grappling hook off frame so he could climb up a rope, or is he climbing up the shelf? “We’ll come back for Sophie,” sounds ominous. When they see what she’s done, will they lock her in somewhere even more difficult from which to escape?
Cue the cleaning company rep sucking air through his teeth, just like your mechanic does when he’s about to deliver expensive news, “This is gonna be tricky. Tricky costs extra. You’ve got mixed food stains on white surfaces. That costs extra. Oooh, and damage to your ceiling in the pantry. I’ll have to get carpenters in for that. You don’t want to know how much extra that’s gonna cost. And then there’s the glitter. Lady, you can’t afford glitter. No one can afford glitter. Have you considered not having pets?"
It doesn’t look like Gutter is doing too much accessory damage to the pantry on the way up the shelves to the hole in the ceiling. Oh, well. We’ll just have to content ourselves with the hole in the ceiling.
WHEN are you coming back for Sophie? When the Awful Woman sees what Sophie did she will lock her away….or she might think Sophie won’t behave at the Cat Shows and turn her loose!
and just where the heck is Jules?! he’s only got 5 more days!!! i was so hoping that because his part was cut short last year, he’d have a bigger role this year. ok, deep breath, Gloria, Georgia has got it all planned out and it’s going to be wonderful. Ohm………existential dread…..ohm…….existential dread……ohm……
“In other news today, Rhode Island Energy remains mystified by the continued power outages in Ashaway. Crews are responding again and hope to have all customers back online soon.”
Georgia! If you’re reading the comments today, I prefer your artsy signatures to the more techy one you have today. Today’s doesn’t fit with your beautiful artwork. At least, for me. I know you’ve been trying some different styles and forgive me if I’m overstepping, but this one? No…
I think they underestimate the Tidy people. They’re going to do something awful to Sophie for acting up, and Gutter and the mice will have to rescue her now.
I’ve been wondering where the Tidy people are and why the Tidy Woman hasn’t noticed Destry’s loud music. As has been mentioned, this must all be happening simultaneously, but we know there’s been, at the very least, a song and a half. Could Animal Control have arrived and the Tidies are outside, explaining the situation? Will they walk into Existential Chaos?
kind of feel bad for the woman in the house seems she really wants a kitty to love and care for but still Its not her cat maybe she will find one to adopt
A big thank you to all who have sent well wishes and told me of shoulder surgery experiences! This weekend I plan to have Partner practice putting on his socks and underwear with one arm tied to his side. Hopefully this will convince him to buy some no-show socks (what we used to call “footies” when I was a kid) when we do our “tax free weekend” shopping. It’ll save him the stress of trying to pull regular socks on and me the stress of listening to the cussin’ and carryin’ on while he does it. ; )
Poodle update: After an examination by our vet, she has no fever, but has lost quite a bit of weight. She may need to lose some teeth, the estimate was between 1 and 2 thousand dollars. She spotted what looked like a a greyish blister or ulcer on the roof of her mouth about the size of a dime by her left real molars. Furthermore, she said it does not look like any kind of cancer. More of a blister or ulcer, still wants a biopsy. She charged us 230 for Roy’s blood test, but hers will be double! She gave her all liquid meds as she hates pills, a Pro flora powder. Clavamox for 14 days and Gabba Gaaba Hey Pentin (sorry had to do that) for the pain. She is drinking and peeing. And will take Squeezles (our cute blanket term for Churu’s and the like).
When is Sophie getting out? Will there be right after this the couple going to see the mess and Sophie running and catching up to Gutter and the Robber mice(I can’t remember who is who) and getting back to the big pink house?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
At the Royal Snack Room
Maat-Tilda: I believe these honey-dipped cinnamon rolls are a major success.
Sue Chef: Thomios will be so pleased when he gets back from the Nile Games.
Sophititi: That’s right! He’s the head chef for the Games.
Adobe Style: We’ll be sure to sample the cuisine when we go to watch the Games.
Enter Serfig-Aro (Figs)
Figs: I got some news this morning from Chalkboard Ridge! Today Billie Joe McCatister jumped off the Tallacatchee Bridge!
Adobe Style: He did? I didn’t know he was competing!
Figs: He said he wanted to compete one last time before retiring. And he won the gold!
Soph: And what about the bridge? I understand they want to dismantle it after the Games to build a new one.
Figs: They are. They are using the bridge for the shredding competition. Our own Ora Z is in the individual competition.
Tillie: I think we’ll have another gold medal soon.
