Madame had a rough day yesterday. During a scritch session, she complained about the numerous noise violations in the neighborhood and in our house. First, it was quite upsetting to have strangers in all our yards, making noise and hammering on the house (the eaves installer had finally arrived). Of course, there was the daily intrusion from those yapping mutts across the street who were hollering because people next door were having a garage sale. Then those hooligan young squirrels were running around constantly and squealing. For hours. Then Mom stupidly throws out those damn peanuts (why encourage these tree rodents??!!) and a big Blue Jay came and fetched one like a dog. He then goes high in the birch to brag about it (quite loudly). Another Jay to the East hollers back and the two engage in a raucous duet that went on and on. Merde! My nerves!
"There, there darling" I responded as I gave her a nice forehead stroke. "It's quiet now, I have soothing music on. Even the dogs have shut up. Mom made you a tasty supper. Time to chill." Madame gave me two licks on my forearm. "I love you, too", I replied.
