Let’s play with Barn-E

It was all Barn-E’s idea to bring his toy upstairs.

During the night two of my cats sleep on my bed, but often they are wandering through the house.

Last night, Barn-E was bored in the middle of the night and went hunting for fun.

I discovered his toy on the bed when I woke up, a first for both of us.

What’s that noise?

When odd an sound occurs I have to check it out. My cats often get into trouble, like flicking off the last third of my banana bread off the counter. It was their gift to Sunny the dog.

This time Barn-E was playing alone.

I get a kick out of him.

I still love him, even when he’s in trouble.

A 50-word story — COLD!

Not everyone can stay inside. Many people have to work outside no matter the weather. Today I was thinking about all these special people.

I may not have to work outside much these days, but I’ve done my share in the past.

Extreme weather is not for me, not cold nor hot.

I like things just right.

Barn-E’s hiding place

Why am I finding bottle tops in my boots?

Barn-E is the reason why.

Bottle caps attract Barn-E. He tosses them around the kitchen, often losing them in corners or under the refrigerator.

I have to rescue his little toys and how does he repay me? He hides them in my boots.

Oh that cat!

Tempted

Last night, my cats had a riot at bedtime. Barn-E especially was bopping around my bed.

This morning, both cats were snoozing, peacefully. I was so tempted to jar them awake, but I didn’t. When awake, they would only leap back into trouble.

So I resisted and went about my business, only to have them join me in the kitchen when I wanted to cook.

“Go back to sleep!” I told them. Of course, they didn’t listen.

Such is life.
