Phoebe, Queen of the Day, Velvet, Queen of the Night

We have a new arrangement at our home :)
Mom has started letting me hang out with
Nimbus and Velvet while she is away or at
work. We get the downstairs. Phoebe gets
the whole upstairs to mostly herself. Tucker
is there but in his X-pen. We all are happier!
Phoebe doesn't like to play very much, except
for with mom I now get to hang out with those
who love to play. The Noses, Lightening and
Guiseppe, are in our area, too!

I was triggering the alarm when I was free
upstairs. When mom started confining us,
Phoebe and I didn't like it. Phoebe got more
shy and depressed. I could only play with
Nimbus and Velvet when mom and dad were
home. No fun. Now Phoebe is so much
happier. She sings and plays a lot more and
even comes out when Velvet is around.
Velvet still tries to be mean to her, though.
I think Phoebe is more confident because
she gets to be queen of the upstairs aaalllll
day long!

At night we all come out to play. Velvet is
the bigger queen then (not in size, just
meaness). The Noses join in our fun.
They try and hypnotize me and Nimbus to
get them treats. They like to chew
toilet paper. We like to drag out rolls of
toilet paper and watch them make a big
mess! They try and get us to knock food off
the counters. They can chew through
wrappers and boxes.

Sometimes Nimbus, Velvet, and I like to
get in the trash. There's fun stuff in there like
crinkly things and good, stinky smells, and
sometimes something to lick. The Noses
get really jealous then. They can see us
getting in the trash through the baby-gate.
They want the trash, but will get told,
"Bad dog!" Dad gets Mr. Squirt Bottle if he
hears, so we have to be really sneaky ;)

I'll have to tell you more about all the fun
we've been having, real soon.

talk to you later,
