This morning I was awakened with a sports score update.\u00a0\u00a0 Bringing you the details we go to our sleepy correspondent… me!<\/p>\n
I was awakened this morning with an exciting pre-dawn story.\u00a0 Dan got up this morning and wasn’t greeted by Mishkin trying to trip him in the dark.\u00a0 So, he turned on the lights and went looking for the Mishcreant.\u00a0 Mish was focused on the table legs under Dan’s desk.\u00a0 Dan looked to see what had the kitten’s undivided attention, and didn’t see anything.\u00a0 The natural conclusion was that the “prey” was tiny, small spider perhaps?<\/p>\n
So Dan ignored said hunting kitty and continued with the waking up routine.\u00a0 Very shortly thereafter he noticed that Mishkin had changed the area of focus to running back, forth, through, and over the stereo and television equipment.\u00a0 Mishkin INSISTED there was something there and Dan got out a flashlight to look underneath and, ‘lo and behold’ a mouse peered back at him from underneath the big speaker.<\/p>\n
Dan lifted the speaker and told Mishkin to look, but in typical cat fashion Mishkin totally missed that message.\u00a0 We all know that when you talk to a cat they hear “Mishkin, __________ ____________ __________” which assumes they do know their name.\u00a0 But I digress.<\/p>\n
Dan watched the mouse walking across the livingroom floor towards your faithful correspondent’s chair, while the fearless hunter continued to run around the stereo equipment stand.<\/p>\n
Dan sighed, picked up his leather glove and picked up the mouse, which he then threw out the sliding glass doors onto the snow beyond the deck.<\/p>\n
Mishkin missed the whole thing.\u00a0 He did bring us his white toy mouse later, looking for approval and a rousing game of fetch.<\/p>\n
Score for today reflects Dan is in the lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
