Still Bad

Hello most humans and many others,

As I have been sitting here on the dining table, as usual, I have come to the conclusion that change is bad, just like I said before. I don't know what you humans are thinking, but you seem to be causing bad changes that will not be possible to make right - - - ever. Just this week, I saw on the news that there is no ice on Greenland right now. This has never happened before, and it is a really bad thing.

Missy Linda watched a show on TV about some people who live on an island in the Pacific were going to another island to beg the people on the second island to give them some of their land. The first island was fast becoming a death trap for its inhabitants because of the rising water levels. If the people from the first island can't find a place to move, they will starve to death a while before their island is completely under water. It is a really sad story. When this show ended, the people had not been able to find a new home yet. It didn't show if they ever got to move or not - - - maybe because they didn't know what would happen.

It seems that since I have lived here in Oklahoma, it has had terribly hot weather in the summers. It is supposed to be 108 degrees here every day this week! This is dangerous heat for me as well as for you humans and animals. Can you imagine what would happen to me if I got left in a hot car for a while in heat like that? I can't stand to even think about it!

Maybe I should try to think of some ways that change can be good. I'll have to see.

Change is Bad

Hello most humans and many others,

Well, things are going downhill fast around here, according to Missy Linda. I don't notice anything different except Missy Linda is complaining about some new things this week. She seems to be distressed because her headache medication is no longer being manufactured. She says it's the only thing that helps her migraines. I can only hope, for my sake, that she finds something that can take its place.

She is driving us all crazy about the fact that she doesn't want to move. We've all been hearing that for awhile so those of us who have to live with her are about ready to pound her. Maybe we should move  to a different place than she does. Don't give her my address if I do that!

Missy Linda and Tio Kane are still mad that the grocery stores in this area have stopped carrying MaraNatha Dark Chocolate Almond Spread. It's available on line, but it is $10 a jar. I guess they don't want it that bad. Just for your own safety, do not suggest to either of them that Nutella is a decent substitute.

You should hear Missy Linda's hissy fit about how she can't find any more of those bamboo socks that she got at Target. She always looks for them when she goes there, and she looks other places, too. She was so happy with them because they were so soft, and they kept her feet much cooler than regular socks. She has one of those tirades every once in a while. It is quite the sight when she really goes off the road about it.

Well, I suppose that's enough about how Missy Linda's life has deteriorated because of how things have changed. When Missy Linda's life gets worse, she makes my life worse. I don't like that at all!

Normalcy

Hello most humans and many others,

Well, I have to admit that I will be glad when it gets to be 10:00 pm this evening. The Daily Show, followed by The Colbert Report, will be back on after a two week vacation. I am hoping that Missy Linda will start acting more normal after she gets her fix again.

It seems that she hadn't realized the shows were going to be on a two-week vacation. When she got back from visiting in Colorado, she was ready for some Jon and Stephen because the Harkeys, whom she was visiting, watch hardly any TV. Also, they don't have Comedy Central. She was kind of in comedy withdrawal in addition to being forced back into her crappy life after a nice trip. She almost freaked, but she kind of held it together when she realized it would be another week without seeing her shows.

I think that today, I see a tiny glimmer of hope in those dead eyes of hers. I can only hope that Jon and Stephen come through for me with some great shows tonight so my life will get better for a short time by making Missy Linda a little bit happy. If Missy Linda is less miserable, she makes me less miserable.

Real World

Hello most humans and many others,

Well, Missy Linda has been back from vacation for over a week now, and she doesn't seem refreshed or energized or whatever you humans are supposed to feel after a vacation. She seems kind of down to me. Of course, there's nothing new about that for her, but why do you humans go on trips if you feel worse when you get back? That's probably one of those human things that I will never understand.

Missy Linda has always said (since I've known her) that she wants a little house by some kind of water. She would really love a clear stream like the one that flows through Turner Falls Park to go by her home. Evidently, where she visited up by Rocky Mountain National Park, there are lots of little houses right by clear mountain rivers. It made her all mopey to come back to reality, I suppose. Or maybe she just realized again that she will never have that little house. I say to her, "Snap out of it!"

Home From Her Trip

Hello most humans and many others,

Well, Missy Linda got home from her trip to Fort Collins, Co, on Friday evening. She must have had a good time. I wouldn't know for sure because I wasn't allowed to go. She said that there wasn't room in her suitcase for me, and she said I wouldn't fit under the seat in the airplane. That meant that I would not be allowed to go with her. I wouldn't really have expected to be allowed to go anyway since I never get to do anything any more.

I heard her say that she went to a lot of good restaurants. She went up into the mountains without being scared like she says she used to be. She says her knees are sore, but, other than that, she's all right. She used to be scared to death of heights, but she's a lot more mellow now, she says. She wonders if it is because she has bigger problems now so heights aren't so daunting. I say, "Who cares?"
