Halloween

Hello....It's me....Annie Grace,

I was ready to settle down for my mid-morning slumber....after a rather exhausting morning. First thing this morning I took a different approach. It was called The Attack Wake-up......she was sleeping...loudly .....with a small amount of drool.....and I crouched at the bottom of the bed.....went into my Attack Crawl....slowly...like a spy......a very evil spy....cautiously.....and then I POUNCE....and run off the bed...running up and down the stairs ...about 25 times....like I am being chased by a foreign evil spy at 100 miles an hour...then around the downstairs only to race back up and pounce on the bed and say "What did you think?" She said "you look ridiculous" and gave me a HHTT Look which was very pathetic. I myself was highly amused at my antics.


Clearly in no rush to go to work ( hopefully "The BIG sale is coming soon!") she asked me "Annie...what would you like to be for Halloween?"


I raised one perfect eyebrow ..enhancing my perfect blue eyes......and really thought hard before I answered.....Is she serious????


I want to be a cat....like I am....a cat! Clearly if you know anything about Halloween you would see there is always a cat in all Halloween pictures!!! (Not that I want to approach this topic.....but the cat is usually with A WITCH!) There are NO cats dressed up in anything having to do with Halloween. NOT ONE! They are not dressed up and nor do they "want to be anything"....They are CATS! Like me. With A WITCH.

Then I thought of the path of least resistance.....what would YOU like me to be?


She said well maybe a toad.
NO, NO,NO! Try again


Then she said how about a fish?
Nope try again....you have already killed two


Superman? A costume left over from HIM
No.....I almost feel a twinge of sympathy for HIM until she told me he liked it.


How about a butterfly I asked?
You see...wings...I could fly away...to Poland or Italy.



Nope......she did not like that one.

How about an Angel I asked?
See...wings (trying again)...a halo.....I am sooooo gone!
Nope... a big veto. Apparently if SHE can't have a halo and wings....neither can I

Last resort .............how about if I dressed up like HIM?

In a flurry of tears and babbling word that made no sense....she said "really!!!"



Yup....put me in a Superman costume made for a canine that I will be disgraced in front of all the neighborhood...please....... deepen the pain. What truly worries me is that SHE has asked me to be something for Halloween but I highly doubt it is for a purpose...where are we going? A Party? I think not....I am not allowed to leave here. Are we having a party? I think not....I see no indications. Are we going Trick or Treating? I think not.....we will look ridiculous in this small town. Where ...where ....where are we going? I personally think it is a control issue and SHE is scary enough without Halloween.............
