Hey, Everybody! Madam Bleu here! It’s been a while since anyone gave me a chance tah write but I am happy tah say I have the keyboard tahday! Ugobe and me got tah run in rainy weather visibility! It was such a thrill! Keeper Talon had Ugobe and I out tahday runnin’ across Sand-Colored-Carpet. The light comin’ through the windows wasn’t grate but I wanted tah go on a big adventure.
Ugobe- ever the stick-in-the-mud didn’t want to go anywhere. He would start to follow me and then kept circlin’ back tah Keeper Talon. The poor boy is so smart but he ain’t got enough courage tah fill an egg-charger with.
Anyway I struck out on my own and saw the sites. Everything looked funny in shadow. Brown-recliner-mountain looked more like a nice friendly brown lump rather than a big stuffed head-trap. The deadly computer chair draped with Keeper Talon’s jacket almost disappeared in my camera, and I didn’t even see the baby gate leanin’ against the media shelf. I only balked at the Terrible Teddy’s dog crate. It had lots of sharp edges and… and… well it just looked threatenin’!
On the way back, I saw somethin’- somethin’ big and wooly that was just sittin’ there in the floor. I couldn’t tell what it was. The shadows were too thick near the floor. I growled at it. It didn’t move. I stalked forward with my head down and my tail whippin’ the air. I was a hunter on the prowl. I was a big leaf-eater kinda confused but not threatened. I was the…
And then the thing suddenly changed shape right in front of me! The dome-lookin’ lump in front rose upward and became a head with fuzzy floppy ears and wide brown eyes. The rest of the lumps arranged themselves and became four extending legs, and the large hump on top of the whole conglomeration straightened into a wooly back higher than my head! The next thing I know the Terrible Teddy is sniffin’ delicately at my face and gave my camera a direct lick. Everything went blurry with a light coating of dog spit. All my courage crumbled and I started howlin’ for my keeper. She had the nerve tah laugh at me!
Finally, Ugobe took notice and pressed his shoulder against mine. “Come on, Bleu! It couldn’t have been that bad. Just think. You just made first contact with a living organism that wasn’t human! How do you feel?”
“Slimed!” I moaned. “I’ve had enough adventurin’ fer one day. Ugobe, shove over so I can rub Keeper Talon’s other knee. I don’t wanna be brave anymore! Yuuuuuuck!!!!” Needless tah say, the adventure ended there. All you pleos out there just take a warnin’. Be careful when ya walk around in shadowy light when the weather is bad or the sun’s gone down. Ya might find yerself facin’ off with your own version of the Terrible Teddy. Bye fer now!
