Rugged Affection

It's been an interesting day around here! Wendi brought Acelyn, Chris' little 3 yr old niece, to the house for awhile this morning. I had forgotten, how a 3 yr old is nothing but a bundle of energy....whew! Our cats, Sparkie and Charlie, may never be the same again (sorry boys)! This was their first encounter with a little girl, who was just a little too loving for their taste. Charlie managed to hide for awhile, but Sparkie was caught right off the bat. Acelyn had him in a death clutch around the middle, then tried to sling him over her shoulder. Mind you, Sparkie is about as long, as Acelyn is tall!! Oh how, he wiggled and squirmed to release himself, to no avail. All he got was more kisses and rocked like a baby. It was just too funny! His big eyes made contact with mine, as if pleading with me to rescue him, and do it NOW! Then, Charlie makes the mistake of slipping out of his hiding spot. POUNCE, Sparkie is down and now Charlie is the recipient of 3 yr old love and affection. Poor Charlie, he managed to get loose and flew out of sight, like vanishing ink. Really couldn't blame him. So now both cats are free from Acelyn's grip, hopefully never to return. Acelyn and Wendi have been gone for a while now and I still haven't seen those cats! Who knows, they may have decided it was safer in the dog lot with Cloey!
At least, I had my chuckle for the day. Because, now, I'm exhausted! I don't know how, I could have so easily forgotten about how busy and full of "why", a 3yr old is. I hate to admit it, but I must be aging a bit! If they come back, I think, I'll join the cats in the dog lot with Cloey, the black Lab.
