This Stair Troll Expects A Toll

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

And here you all thought I used my Stair Troll Job to just hang out on the stairs in warm sun puddles. Ha!!

If you recall, Stair Trolls have the right to demand payment if some cat wants to pass the Stair Troll while she is on duty.

I expect 12 pieces of your kibble to pass me on this stair

TKS is such a whiner! Next thing I know she is tattling on me to Dad P.

Dad P??! Make Savvy move so I can get upstairs

Dad P??! Make Savvy move so I can get upstairs

Seriously. TKS thinks she holds all the cards when it comes to getting Dad P to do what she wants. Well, I have some hold cards she can’t even come close to playing. Always gets me what I want…heh…heh…

Dad P, should I call Mom L to explain how this works?

Un huh…thought you might remember just ‘how’ this family works. (NOTE: Mom L is my best hold card)

Now TKS...back to your kibble toll...make that 15 pieces

Now TKS…back to your kibble toll…make that 15 pieces

Dad P never makes me play that card.

Morning Stare Down…Who Won?

Hello All…Mom Linda Here

I took over the blog post today because neither of the girls can do justice to describing the scene I happened upon yesterday morning. I was headed out of my bedroom to go downstairs to collect my ice pack, heat pack etc. As I stepped out of my door to the upstairs landing this was the scene I encountered.

TKS Nana stare down ed

In a flash I grabbed my iPad to try to get a decent photo to share with all of you. Sage can peer through the window on the landing into the guest bedroom across the landing. Of course, it works both ways…Nana can peer back at Sage.

This was a classic cat stare down with Sage looking just like a bird dog on point having seen a bird (which is what I first thought she was watching on the roof outside…HA!). Then I looked across to see Nana in her meatloaf pose literally giving Sage her best Nana Stink Eye…she was glaring out of the corner of her eyes, they were sort of just slit open enough to allow a really good stink eye.

Nana Stink Eye

I realized this photo is over adjusted and blurry. Here’s hoping none of Nana’s readers who are expert photographers see this (embarrassed ears on Mom Linda) but I wanted to share that infamous ‘Nana Stink Eye’. But wait! Is that for TKS or ME!!!????

Once I took a photo, I had a silent chuckle all the way downstairs!

Who do you think blinked first?

Have a wonderful weekend, Mom Linda

I Just LUVLUVLUV My Dumpster Diving TKS

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Once again, our morning routine comes to the forefront. You already know that Mom L hides places our favorite treats under a pillow next to her in the morning. TKS and I both wait patiently (HA!) for those treats to appear.

TKS…she tries so hard to be nonchalant about whatever pillow Mom L uses to protect the treats.

That only works for the short term. Eventually, TKS just cannot help herself.

And as for me…I just wait. I know TKS will eventually prevail. And that means I will get my morning treats for not having jumped on her as she invades my personal space while she searches for those ‘hidden’ treats.

Ok TKS...go for it. Mom L is not looking

Ok TKS…go for it. Mom L is not looking

TKS is on the hunt…

I know those treats are under here

Sometimes I have to endure her becoming much too personal…

The important part is…we both got our treats!!

YEA!!! TEAM SAVANNAH AND SAGE!!!
