Ruby Tuesday – Situation Normal

Ruby

Ruby here. The Herd Annex is being as normal as we ever are.

kitchen patrol

Tartok and I are performing our normal kitchen patrols.

tartok

Well, except for when Tartok is upside down snoring.

Ruby 1

And then I just have to keep a close eye on things in the kitchen by myself.

Ruby 2

A very close eye

Ruby 3

A very, very close eye.

Ruby 4

A very, very, very close eye.

And then I reflect on the one that got away.

    Oh, Ruby. A girl’s work is never done. Steve is always falling asleep, leaving me to do everything, so I feel your pain.

    Same thing here, Ruby. Although about six months ago I dropped a cracker which still brings the dogs to the kitchen whenever I get any crackers out. You would think that six months would be long enough to forget!

    Note to HuDad…I saw K in the new bed. What a great idea. I’m sorry you had already raised the money before I saw the post. Next time, if you’ll give me a “heads up” I will be happy to chip in.

    Hmmm, my question is, how can Tartok remain upside down and snoring with stuff going on in the kitchen?

    Stay vigilant, Ruby! You never know what might come your way.

    Sigh. Poor Ruby. My heart is bleeding for you. Bleeding I tell you.

    The one that got away is always the hardest to forget! Next time, Ruby!

    Awesome patrols, Ruby. Patrols are best done by not moving. Saves us lots of energy. Eyeballing is the best way to patrol.

    Woooo,

Wings of Doom

December 12, 2024

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
