Old Stowee #14: Hide and seek

From 2004 October 23:

The odah night (21 Oct), me was sitting on popsy's rocking cheh in the family room watching tv. Popsu was going through some stuff in the study.

Woggie came along and stahted bugging popsy to let him outside. So popsy tells him, "Okay, let's go" and walks toward the kitchen. Woggie trots along behind then walks ahead of popsy.

But just befoh entering the kitchen, popsy slinks away behind the cabinet foh glasses and then crouches down behind the dining table. Oblivious to popsy's "disappearance", woggie continued walking into the kitchen and stops beside the hand sink, facing the door to the wondwee, apparently waiting foh popsy to come and open the door. Only aftah several seconds of waiting did woggie realize that popsy was not around: quickly looks right, left and then behind. Seeing nobody deh, woggie toins around and walks back into the dining room with a puzzled look on his face.

Poor woggie looked all the more distressed when me stahted asking him, "O, whad'ya do? Lost popsy? Whad'ya do with popsy?" Aftah completely missing out on seeing popsy behind dining table, woggie decides that popsy must have gone back to mastah bedroom and so he disappears into the mastah bedroom. Soon he comes out puzzled as evah.

Fwom deh he walks back to the dining room where he finally spots popsy behind the dining table.

Kitty-cat Stowee #17: Dot goes hunting

Yesterdee mohnin, when we went out to the wondwee area on our wee to the car, we discovered a "hunting" victim in the wondwee sink: anodah fat rat. Since we were rushing to go to choich, we had to leave burying the rat until when we got back laytah.

Then laytah, when we had gotten back and matsu and popsu were reading newspapah in the rear terrace, me noticed black-and-white kitty-cat crouched in front of one of the pineapple plants. Was obviously stalking something that was hiding among the pineapple plant and the weeds deh. Kitty-cat would sometimes get up and then poke her head through the leaves of the pineapple. Then she'd sit down ageen but still be on the alert. Me got bored watching tho and went back to mi room.

The next time me came out of the room, which was several minoots laytah, me looked out the rear terrace to see wha' happened to the kitty-cat. Kitty-cat was no longah deh in front of pineapple but then soon appeared at the top of the stairs--carrying a big fat rat in her mouth! Haay naku. Anywees, kitty-cat brought rat to her play area (a spot near the base of the nangka twee) and stahted playing with her new toy.

Then laytah when popsu went to bury the foist rat we saw in the wondwee sink oilyah, kitty-cat was not undah the nangka twee anymoh. But popsu found gwoosome weemains deh. :(

Kitty-cat Stowee #16

Deez mohnin while me was pweepehwing mi bweakfast, me spotted black-and-white kitty cat ageen sleeping on the workbench outside. Kitty-cat was all stretched out on the right end of the workbench doing a bit of sunbathing.

Then laytah when me went back to wash mi dishies, kitty-cat was still sleeping on workbench but had moved toward the center.

Several minoots laytah, kitty-cat was still sleeping awee but nearer the center of the workbench. While me was watching, kitty-cat got up and crawled farther toward the center to take refuge in the shade of a plant whose bwanches were hanging ovah the woikbench.

Getting ovahheated alweady pala.

Old Stowee #13

From 26 March 2006:

Deez aftahnoon, mama pweepehed woggie's dinnah but there wasn't enough rice so she had to cook a new batch. Woggie waited patiently in the meantime.

But laytah he noticed that there was food alweady in the microwaveable containah we use to mix the woggie food. Woggie got up and went to the countah and sniffed at it, i.e., made a partial inspection. Then he went back to mama in the dining room and stahted bahking at her. Must have figured that the food was pweepehed alweady and was demanding to be fed na.

Anywees, me took ovah fwom deh na lang and went outside to get woggie's big bowlie/palanggana. When me came back into the kitchen, me noticed that there seemed to be enough rice alweady in the containah (although mama wanted to ad more yet). Me just told mama that there was probably enough rice alweady. So me twansfehed woggie's food to the palanggana.

But while me was twansfehwing the food, somebody disappeared fwom the kitchen. When me told mama about that, mama said that woggie was pwobably expecting that we were still going to put the palanggana of food near the electric fan to cool it off. But food deez time was cool enough to be given to woggie. Woggie apparently knows routine alweady. :)

Me just had to call woggie (who was sitting in fwont of the tv in the dining room) and somebody happily came to the kitchen and followed me outside to be fed.

Kitty-cat Stowee #15: Cat nap, interrupted

The odah Saturdee aftahnoon aftah eating lunchie, me went to the kitchen to wash mi dishies. Looking out the kitchen window, me saw stray kitty-cat sleeping soundly on the pebble washout outside the rear terrace. Then when me stahted washing mi dishies, the noise apparently could be heard outside because kitty-cat woke up and looked toward the kitchen with an annoyed expression. Probably wondering wha all da racket was about. Anywees, aftah a several seconds of staring at the kitchen window, da sleepyhead went back to sleep.
