Good morning beautiful TopTops. I felt so depressed yesterday that I cannot remember much about it, just a few things. Poor Percy had been let out, as he wanted to go out, and had ran to the big scary old door… which is impossible when he is in the kitchen. Then I had to get out of odd thingies way, as she was waiting for me to get out of the way so she could be brushed, waxed, re-shooed, and polished before going trundling off out. I do not know when she came crashing back through the big scary old door, but I had to get out of the way when I went back down there late yesterday afternoon, evening, and last night. I did enjoy my soup though, and it was so cold last night that I had to close the big window, and did not need the new not so scary old fan on for long after I had got into bed. I had a good sleep, but even so, I did not want to get up this morning, but I did. Molly did not come to greet me, so I staggered off downstairs to feed Percy and George… Percy came running in as soon as I opened the garden doors, but George was a bit frightened. She did come in though, and I gave them both a good feed, followed by loads of ham, and I had to throw some outside when I let George out. I left Percy down there in the kitchen with a saucer of ham, and got back up here before I was flattened. When I got up here, Molly was staring at me from over there by the fireplace, but would not come over, even though I spoke to her… she eventually did come over to me, but it was just as I was going to go back downstairs to make the coffee. I could not stay down there for long though, and was soon back up here as I had to get out of odd thingies way again. I had just enough time to grab some biscuits, then up here I was again, with Molly all over me. She sat on the arm of the chair, whirring, purring, and nuzzling me, stopping me from getting to the biscuits, every time that I tried, she managed to stop me. That was most probably my punishment for going off at her the other day for galloping around with something dangling from behind her… I wonder what else she has in store for me. We do love you Topsy, we love you so much little girl, and we do miss you, we miss you so much you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
