Meee-theywillpay!-oowww! Do you recall my previous report regarding the canine expected to spend the holidays at my home, per an unapproved-by-me agreement between my ladyperson and an acquaintance? You will NOT believe what has since occurred...

On what started as a pleasant day, I arose from my late-afternoon nap (the one I take after watching ‘Jeopardy’) and proceeded to the front door to meet my ladyperson as she returned home from her workplace. Normally at such time and after an authoritative nudge from me, she tends to my food and drink needs. However on this occasion, I could hear much commotion in the garage from where my ladyperson was and I detected the scent that no cat should ever be forced to incur: D-O-G!! Even worse yet, she dared to be so bold as to bring the creature into my home without my permission. She used the flimsy excuse of thinking it would be a good idea if the horrid beast and I became acquainted prior to the impending Christmas visit.

As you can imagine, my evening plans of relaxing while watching my favorite Animal Planet television show “It’s Me or the Dog” were instantly shattered. That infantile creature pursued me unashamedly, even when I escaped to the sanctity of my own backyard.

And so I was reminded – once again – that my ladyperson and manperson cannot be trusted and are simply here to insert discomfort into my otherwise calm existence. But not to worry: while the smelly beast was confined to the bizarre portable dwelling that his own manperson provided for this ‘visit’, I reminded him in my own not-so-subtle nature that this was indeed my home and under no circumstances will he be allowed to return.

If he’s a smart dog (<--- quite the oxymoron, eh?), he will advise his own manperson that he prefers to stay home for the holidays. I will keep you posted….
