Chicken Thief

Welcome to the first installment of my Blog, "DOROTHY'S DIARY".  It's about me, Dorothy of course, and includes my sister siblings Luna, Elvira, Ruffles, Peggy Sue, and Dos. Along with my brother siblings Herbie, Crinkles, Orlando, and Jacques. Together, along with my hoomin caretakers, Terry and Michelle, there is never a dull moment here around our house.

Take yesterday for example. I was casually sitting on the coffee table, watching my hoomin papa, Terry, eating his lunch.  It consisted of juicy strips of tender chicken, scrambled eggs, spinach, and tomatoes.  But it was the juicy strips of tender chicken that caught my eye!  I was just about to make my move, when my sister Luna beat me to the punch!  Luna has this little act that she puts on for Terry when he is sitting down eating his food.  Luna has it down to a science, she is a REAL HAM! Every time Terry is sitting on the couch with his plate of food, Luna springs into action. I know what's coming next, and I watch with anticipation for the chaos to begin.  First, Luna gets up on her hind legs and puts her front paws across Terry's lap.  Then she presses the side of her face against his stomach, and looks up at him with her twinkly little eyes.  Terry's a sucker for her bedroom eye look, and always kisses Luna on the forehead. But he always keeps an eye on his food, looking at me to make sure I don't steal anything off his plate.  But this time when Terry went to kiss Luna on the forehead a second time, PEPPER POT PEGGY SUE,  snuck up behind Terry on the couch, leaned over and grabbed the BIGGEST piece of chicken off his plate! Terry jumped off the couch screaming at Peggy Sue to drop the piece of chicken! Peggy Sue ran in the bedroom under the bed, ran back into the living room into the other spare room, all the time with Terry in hot pursuit!  He finally cornered Peggy sue on the cat tree. She was caught red handed with the big piece of chicken still in her mouth. She would not let go of the chicken! Terry finally put her down on the floor, where she ran into the kitchen dropping the piece of chicken on the floor. During all this commotion, I STAYED PUT! because there in front of me was a plate of unguarded chicken. You can guess what happened next? Terry came back to his lunch and noticed another piece of chicken missing. I think he assumed it was me.  LOL
