Trapped Cat Food

Regular followers of the blog will know that Trapped Wind has been an issue of late .

Alice the not so skinny greyhound however ( not ,latterly, the main sufferer ) disappeared upstairs this afternoon and many scraffling and ferreting noises were heard . When she failed to reappear I went in search and was amazed to find her located to the side of rather than on top of the ( hot ) water bed and with her front legs ( arms ) round a large floor cushion , a pained expression on her face . She appeared happy enough and refused to accompany me back to rejoin family life ( drinking coffee and eating a batch of Rocky Path , a faulty version of Rocky Road made with substandard marchmallows which refused to stick together ) .

Hmm said D , I can tell you what's up with her , Cat Food , thats what ...


Trapped Cat Food , in fact . Causing tummy pains .

She gets it most days , when Kitty doesnt get there quick enough .

Mind you Kitty looks like she's surviving just fine .

Holidays ? No Thanks !



D , being a tidy soul , took N's suitcase from her room this morning ready to place back in storage and left it on the attic stairs for a while in transit .


Alice , spying it there , got the wrong idea , and climbed onto the bed and produced a series of escalating howls .


Ok Alice , we get the picture . You love Auntie Laura taking care of you , but would quite like us to stay at home for a while longer before our next trip .
