Are You a Cat?

Dear Mom,

As I picked up the Magic Puppy's Pen to write you, the lady told me that you are flying home today. You can imagine my relief when she explained that you are using an airplane!πŸ˜…

I can't wait to see you Mom! I mean, all in all I have had a pretty good time here at The Lady's CampIn fact, until yesterday I was tempted to give her a 5 bark review. But, yesterday the wheels came off! 

Buckle your seatbelt Mom, and prepare for turbulence.

It was only yesterday! Yesterday, when I was on the verge of forgiving the lady for deserting me for a pharmacy run. Yesterday, when her petting and cooing convinced me that she had succumbed to my tried and true training techniques. 

Because I am as smart as I am beautiful, I could see that she was about to leave me. Again! When she put on her shoes, I tried to stop her by summoning my fiercest bark. When that only resulted in a trip outside to pee, I worried. Could I be losing my touch? My charm? My mojo?

As she grabbed her keys, the lady shot me a rueful glance and made an attempt at appeasing me, by turning on the TV. As if!

Twenty minutes later, I failed to notice her return, because I was perched high on the back of the couch, as it turns out, watching TV. 😳



Surprised to see me sitting at such a height,
the lady laughed and asked if I was a cat. As she gently scratched my neck, she beamed at me and called me Maggie the Cat. I was nonplused until she explained that Elizabeth Taylor, 
who was almost as beautiful as me, was once referred to by that very name.

I abandoned my perch and rolled onto my back for a belly rub. As she sat down next to me, I sighed with relief as I basked in the belly rub and the certainty, that my mojo was completely intact. 

Love, 

Maggie the Cat πŸ’–πŸΎπŸ˜Ό
