Since Mum STILL hasn’t gotten around to buying me a nice new winter coat, and since my one from last winter doesn’t fit me any more, I have to make do with being draped with this attractive blue blankie. In fact, I’ve become quite attached to my blankie and wish it would stay on when I walk around. When it falls off, I have to look sad and cold until someone puts it on me again.
This morning, it was a bit chilly and I was just keeping warm, lying down, under my blankie.
I quite like it when someone pulls it all the way down, cos my face gets cold too sometimes!
It’s quite cosy under there! And if I’m snoozing (which I do rather a lot) I don’t need to see anyway.
Except, when exciting things happen. Exciting things could happen at any time, and range from someone getting the cheese out in the kitchen, to perhaps someone getting ready to go out, and maybe taking me with them! In this case, I need to be alert, really quickly!
This time, it was just Dad wanting to give me a kiss. Not exactly what I would usually consider exciting, but I suppose it was for Dad. Have to consider his feelings you know.
Ooh, ok that was DEFINITELY something exciting, Dad just went to the kitchen!
Is it worth investigating, and potentially losing my blankie?
Yep, definitely. Hang in there, blankie!
Mmmm totally worth it, I found some goodies that Dad dropped on the floor!
And, my blankie even stayed on! Well, mostly. I will probably still have to do the sad, cold face to get them to fix it up properly for me.
