the greedy thief By mughes | December 7th, 2006
Miss Peppo, aka Princess Pumpkin-Pepper Peanut Cha Cha Cha Pussycat. She seems so innocent. But really, she’s a thief in disguise. She steals my hairbands. As soon as I go to bed, she leans up on my nightstand to see if she can find any hairbands. I’ve learned, but after losing many, to close them up in a cupboard. Otherwise, she takes them and puts them into her food dish. She wants them to taste like food!
Last week I pulled out the refrigerator and there were probably twenty under there. I guess that’s where they end up! Click the pic for more photos on Flickr.
I can shoot the bands across the room and she’ll chase after them. Occasionally she’ll actually bring one back to me. More often than not, she attacks them, stretches them, lays on them and generally pretends that they are mice.
Right now she’s glaring at me, for some reason she’s afraid of my camera. Every time I get it out she hides and glares at me around the corner.

He would tell about their routines as lovingly as a mother with her new child. I don’t know how she’ll get over it. I know how she feels. I just want to take her home with me, but I’m afraid Miss Peppo would be terribly unkind. I wish she could go with him. I know she would if she could. To that big doggie park in the sky where daddy doesn’t have to pick up poo and you get lots of bacon cookies. […]
