Morning Dilemma

You are tired. You don't want to get up. Or even wake up. But there's something wrong, very wrong: In fact, there is a crazed bed monster currently gobbling up your toes. You do the usual thing, moving said toes away from the edge and deeper under the covers, but it doesn't help. Eventually you have no choice but to open your eyes, and ... there's no bed monster in sight! And yet the extremely painful - and, worse, ticklish!! - gobbling of toes continues. Finally you peel back the quilt and there it is, the crazed little monster with the white nose stripe. Extra smooches are definitely called for...

Those little dickens - AreToo and Angel - sure do keep you on your toes!

I laughed right out loud, quite disturbing Lucy who was sitting on my lap...

Speaking of Dickens, I just started reading Martin Chuzzlewit. But more of that later. I thought, apparently quite unfairly, that Angel was the chief source of mischief in the house. Imagine my shock and horror at finding out that AreToo's secret vices include toe-nibblement! I shall skulk away and think dark thoughts.

Makoa is our toe nibbler. He actually wraps a paw around the end of your foot then attacks his prey with abandon. Better than an alarm clock I suppose
