Just We Two - Will it Ever End?


Thank heavens for restorative naps!

We went to the vet again.  No shots this time.  They looked in our ears, rubbed some stuff on the back of our necks, and made us eat something.  How awful!  I tried so hard to get away, but nothing worked.  They got the towel again, so I couldn’t really use my feet and legs.  Mina usually doesn’t struggle much and lets Mom hold her for those nasty people.  Mom got some papers and then we came home.  This afternoon, she had to go see USDA.  What a strange name!  She got some papers there, too.  She says it is for our trip.  She says now that we are flying to Brussels.  Is that a food, also?  I’ve heard of Brussels sprouts.  Mom says they are delicious.  What’s going on here anyway?  Dad is going to pick us up at the airport in Brussels.  I think I’m very confused.  Mina, too, but she just goes along with everything, as long as she can play with ribbon.  It is her favorite toy.

Mom has been packing all her clothes in suitcases.  She says that she can’t fit everything in the smaller one she has.  Linda brought her a big one, but not everything fits in that one either, so she is packing both of them.  This is looking very serious.  She has been packing stuff for us, too.  I think I’m getting a little scared.  The last time she packed, we spent many days in the car and slept in the little houses at night.  Will this be like that?  She still talks about flying.  I think she is seriously deluded, but what can I say or do?  Mina just plays with ribbon and doesn’t worry about anything else.  Silly thing!

Life goes on here.  Linda works in her garden – she is growing vegetables!  Why not something useful, like meat?  I heard Mom say that meat grows – why not have a meat garden?  I think I would be tempted to help in that kind of garden.  Linda has planted peppers, tomatoes, even potatoes.  What a useless waste of time.  Mom says she wishes she could be here when things get ripe, but she will be in a turkey by that time.  So strange!  It’s as though she really wants to live in a turkey.  I guess we’ll see, I’m afraid!

Not too much else has happened around here.  That’s probably a good thing, since most of the things that have happened have not been good, at least from my viewpoint.  Books have come in the mail, and Mom has packed them.  She says she will need them to read in the turkey.  Turkey, turkey, turkey!  I’m getting really sick of hearing about it.  What kind of human would want to live in a turkey?

Well, I seriously need a nap now, because things are getting very worrisome and I would rather just not think about this stuff.  Hopefully, I will have some good dreams.

Yours,

Apache
