We’ve had some excitement around here. I spent several days trying to find out what was going on. No one wanted to talk to me. Mama disappeared for a really long time and I couldn’t find her anywhere. Aunty Susan took very good care of me and kept telling me that Mama would be back soon.

Mama finally came back after being gone for a whole day and everyone was talking about Davey Jones and his diagonal notice. I didn’t understand what was going on until Ferbie told me that diagonal notice was really a medical diagnosis. (See Davey Jones’ Diary)

I didn’t understand it all, because I wasn’t around for Termi and her lymphoma. I was kind of worried about Davey Jones. He’s my big brother and most of the time we get along fine. Sometimes he bops me on the head, but I think that’s what big brothers are supposed to do.

After a couple of days, Davey Jones came to visit me and we had a nice long talk. We talked about his adventures at The OSU Clinic and all of the excitement. We talked for a while and he told me that he was sick, but had medicine to make him feel better. We chatted for a while and then shared a bowl of food. He bopped me on the head so that I hopped up on the shelf. Davey Jones curled up and took a nap in my bed and I napped on the shelf.

I invented a new way of exercising. It’s called Feline Yoga or Feloga. First you stretch and examine you the base of your tail. You can strike a giraffe pose, too.

My favorite is the ostrich where I look like I’m hiding my head in the sand. All this is in preparation for taking a nap.

Napping is another art form. We’ll talk about that at another time.

I spend all of my time thinking up ways to make Mama and Aunty Susan smile. I can do that easily because I’m so adorable. I can do that by just being myself. I stretch and bend and look very appealing. Everyone smiles and laughs at my antics. Mostly, I just reach out as Mama goes by and she is just naturally charmed. I don’t even have to work hard. Everyone loves me and I make everyone smile.

My name is Belle and I’m two years old.
