I hope you have not once again wondered where Auntie Cheryl has gone. After all, I do say hi to you on the phone from time to time. I am not sure where the phrase, "Has the cat got your tongue?" came from. I looked online out of curiosity. (Which reminds me of the phrase, "Curiosity killed the cat", yikes! But the 2nd part of that phrase is, "but satisfaction brought him back", whew!) One person online wrote that if the cat did get your tongue, it would be very hard to get it back because of those sharp claws they have. He makes a good point. Best not to stick your tongue out too close to a cat :-) Your mum doesn't want you to squeal and play at night when she is sleeping because she needs to get a good night's sleep. Sleep is an important part of healing. Why, just look at the name of this thread, "SLEEP & REST: Don't Deprive Your Body". Even sweet dogs who like to have fun need to get enough sleep. I don't know why some cats are allowed to wail outside under the cars in the middle of the night. I am sure you are much better off inside safe, comfy, and cozy with your mum. Thank you for sharing your philosophical quote with me. I think you have a good point. I can think of a couple of musicians right off who have sung that sentiment. Musicians seem to enjoy singing about being crazy or mad in general :-) I am sorry that you were attacked by a cat when you were only trying to be friendly. Cats can be temperamental creatures. Maybe that is why people like to use them in phrases so much. Some cats are sweet as can be. You just have to find the right one to make friends with. My advice is to sit down a little bit away from the cat, look friendly, and wait to see first if the cat approaches you in a friendly way. I think that would be the best and safest way to find a nice cat friend. I agree that a dog wearing a hat with pretend human ears would look very weird indeed! You should definitely just keep showing your adorable Spaniel ears. Thank you for thinking of me in not wanting me to receive stale dog biscuits and watching out for my carb intake. I do have a rebounder. I can't really say that I jump and spring on it, but I suppose I do bounce a little bit. However, I am sure your bounce is much bouncier than mine. It is nice how you and your mum train each other. I can see there is a good reason why your mum calls you a wee monkey. And while intense staring works well for a dog, it typically doesn't work well when one human is intensely staring at another. If you are a human, instead of the person you are staring at doing what you want or calling you a wee monkey, they might look at you and say something like, "What's your problem?" or "Psychopath". Then if you start making funny faces, the situation might deteriorate from there. By the time the person starts with the amateur dramatics, the family or the authorities might have been called :-) Auntie Cheryl was at a place once years ago, and saw 2 young women almost get into a fight because one looked at the other too long. One woman looked at the other longer than the other wanted to be looked at, and she started yelling, "DO YOU KNOW ME? DO YOU KNOW ME?" I learned from watching these 2 women that it is not good to intense stare strangers :-) However, humans in general, strangers or family or friends, usually don't like to be intensely stared at by other humans. So, sometimes dogs can get away with things humans can't. I know your mum doesn't ever want you to leave her, so it works out good that you don't want to :-) It certainly would be a sad world with no laughter. Therefore, I appreciate all of your wisdom Holly, and all of your silliness. Tell your mum I said hello, and that I hope you both have a very merry Christmas. Auntie Cheryl | |||
