A Playful (Fun) Day

Some (or most) would probably stay indoors after the April Fool's fall, but not my mum. So we spent the whole of yesterday in the greenhouse-in-the-making. They finally let me out after keeping me indoors in the previous days. I was excited and kept running, jumping, and sniffing. When I got exhausted, I just slumped on the dirt. Mum laughed heartily while taking a picture of me, so I gave her a blank face.

While she did not do any climbing, she installed the poly screen mesh on the sidings of the greenhouse as additional protection from any uninvited guests (rodents and neighbor's dogs) from trespassing. Rats in DD are shameless. They munch on growing veggies. As for the dogs, they wander around, foraging on anything they see.

Me? I did what I do best — sniffing on things, marking my territories, resting a bit, then going farther for a little adventure. I was happy mummy let me play to my heart's content all afternoon.

However, they put a barrier along the driveway so I would not go far. But I found a way out and ran to the street. I did it three times, and they always caught me when I was just about to go to the neighbors. Naturally, I returned to them right away.

They were even horrified when they heard a pup screaming in the distance, thinking it was me because they did not see me around. Mummy went down the street looking for me, but Dada found me hiding in the rolled garden hose, about ten feet away from where he was. So from that scare, they made me stay inside the greenhouse as they prepared to make the door.

This was me between the mesh Mum was to install last before calling it a day.

Then, it was time for my long bath. Mum had to clean all the debris my hair caught from running around. She carefully scrubbed my nails and feet because they collected dirt. Then, finally drenched me with the soapy water while gently yet meticulously brushing my whole body, ensuring no yucky things were hiding or entangled in my fur.

I enjoy those moments with Mum talking to me in the shower. Then came my most-dreaded blow drying. I could never get used to the whirring sound and the weird, warm air from it. But yeah, it dries my hair.

Well, that had been my fun and playful Wednesday. Today, we are heading out to the other town, where we may spend a night or two. I doubt I'd be allowed to play there because the street is dangerous, with many vehicles passing by. Maybe Mum will allow me another outdoor playtime when we return to DD. Until then, here's to wishing you a fab day!
