Hurricane Ike...

didn't do damage to the condo-home of Jamie, AJ and Tessa. Thanks to the Universe for that. They are still without electricity, though. I'm sure the bozos there (those inferior animals that belong to them), Diego, Little Dog, MC Pee Pants (pronounced Muck P Pants with a British accent) and Margot are giving them hell and smelling up the place. I hear they took in Bob-the-one-eyed-cat, too. Suckas! Seriously, though, I'm glad. It's better than that sad stray neighborhood cat being stuck out in the wind, rain and debris alone. Poor Bob-the-one-eyed-cat. They will probably feel too guilty to put him out again, so I'm sure he's found a new forever home. Suckas!

Pepper on an outing without me?!?

Pepper has been out with human dad all day on Terlingua Ranch. I have a feeling she's been running around free and off-leash and having a great time without me. Human mom keeps telling me that if I would behave, I could go do stuff like that, too. But to make up for my day stuck in the house with little to do (human mom read all day long and listened to music), she took me to McDonald's for a meat-and-bread-only hamburger. Then we drove around town with the top down and the windows open on the car. I've noticed it's getting dark earlier and getting cooler at night. I've been sleeping with my electric bed turned on lately. One night, human dad forgot to turn it on and I had to crawl up under the covers with human mom. I love the sound of a down comforter being spread out over the bed. It's music to my ears. Sometimes when they aren't looking, I get up on the bed and roll it up around me and take a nap. That's one of my favorite things. Hmmm, maybe I should add that to my profile...
