forty weeks

 


So here we are...


FORTY WEEKS.


Yup.  Yup.  Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup, yup...


MOUSES!


I have now been Cooped up liKe a chicKen in a chicKen Coop in this Here Hen House, for two hundred and seventeen million, seven hundred and twenty-eight thousand cat seconds, and let me tell ya...


THAT'S A WHOLE LOTTA CAT SECONDS, FOR SURE.


Okay, so TECHNICALLY, I don't live in a hen house, but I like how the alliteration sounds.


 MOUSES!


And since I've had a little extra time on my paws while bein' cooped up here these last forty weeks, I've been thinkin'...


I've been thinkin'.....


I've been thinkin', there are some worse places to be  Worse than this here house that's not a hen house, I mean.


Oh sure, I joke 'bout Peepers and her ineptitudes and inadequacies all the time -  WHICH ARE VERY REAL, my friends - but when it comes down to it, I've got a home in which to live, a bed in which to sleep, and food in my tummy, which is a lot more than many cats can say.


Plus, I have staff.  They may be inept and inadequate, but they ARE staff, nonetheless.  Stupid staff, sure, but staff.  And often good for a raucous laugh.


MOUSES!


The thing is, though, Christmas is less than a week away, and there are lots of kitties out there without homes or beds or food.  Or for that matter, staff!  There are kitties out there who are homeless through no fault of their own.


SO I ASK YOU ALL, MY FRIENDS, if you have a few pennies left over after gettin' ready for the holidays...  A loonie or toonie, unneeded...  If there's any leftover change in the swear jar your peeps set up on account of your sayin' MOUSES! all the time, bottom of your purse, or under the chesterfield cushions...  Well please consider making a donation to a local animal rescue or shelter.  A donation made in the SPIRIT OF THE SEASON, for givin' is way better than gettin'.  It doesn't have to be a lot because every little bit helps, lots.


And uh...  Um...  If you're out and about these next few days and happen to see some Stupid peep out there doing Super Stupid Stuff like only StupendouSly Stupid peeps can do....


It's probably Peepers.


Yup, odds are it's her, for sure.  She's out shoppin' for groceries right now as I sit here typin' this post, and any time she's let loose these days...


I'm tellin' ya, it's like she TRIES to be stupid.


Is someone out there actually offerin' PRIZES for stupid behaviour?


No, SERIOUSLY, IS THERE?  'Cause let me tell ya, if there is, Peepers is in real contention for first place, for sure.


MOUSES!
