Dear Readers,
Happy Wintry Monday here in the Great Pacific Northwest. This past week has been so eventful we don't even know where to begin, perhaps at the end would be best: Fluffy has found her perfect Forever Home in a story
we promise to tell you when we miss her a little less...OK, so we miss her! Sue us!
Also, the Molly eBook will be coming out soon, and a hardback to follow in October. The eBook is for the adult MODS (who are going NUTS without live streams on 24/7, geez. people, get a life!) and the hardback
will be for children, so they will be different. Mom wrote an email to the author and he asked her permission
to print portions of it in his book(s) so that made us all happy! We piggies are now part of the Molly Legacy!
Yeah, guinea pigs!
(Editor whispering.)
Mom thanked me for the inspiration to write the email that inspired the author to include something very important from the TWEET stream in the book...says it's all about ME! MEEEeeeeeeeeeeee! WHEEEK!
(NOTE FROM EDITOR: NONE OF IT IS ABOUT GUINEA PIGS. IF YOU BUY THE BOOK,
YOU WILL SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT GUINEA PIGS.)
And, now that our little Hairball is happily ensconced (and, no doubt, being TOTALLY SPOILED!) in her new home, we are back to morning feeding and socialization for the Mahals in our Runabout Pen, so we are having a whole lot of fun, running around,
receiving special breakfast treats, and lots more attention from mom! First it was Molly's Owl Box,
then it was Fluffy, now it is US ALL TO HERSELF!
WHEEK! HAPPY US. HAPPY MOM. WILL SUMMER EVER COME?
And life in the City may look pretty but mom says she felt safer in Brooklyn and Manhattan when she
lived there for a month trying it out. She had a lot of adventures and also recognized just what a city
girl she's NOT! So, here we are living in the city. Having adventures very different from the ones we
had exploring the pond, marsh, woods, salmon stream, waterfalls, eagles's nest, listening to birds in the
morning, at dusk, all night the frogs and coyotes and owls, and none of them insane, drunk, drug
addicts, racists, or sexual predators - who live IN this apartment complex - stalking mom!
(NOTE: when mom first moved into the condos the summer of 1999, however, all of those things
DID EXIST THERE, not to mention the meth lab(s) but, as more owners moved in to their own
homes the place cleaned up so nicely that by the time we moved OUT, it was a close community of
predominantly sane, sober humans who cared about their animals and one another, for the most part.)
Sometimes we hear mom joke that she isn't always certain whether it is safer here in the building where
we now live or on the streets where there's always a store to hide in, if necessary...but, once
INSIDE THE APARTMENT, mom can lock the door and feel safe, provided no one is lurking
outside the window for hours staring in to get a glimpse of her...good times. Good times, all.
Mom is practicing something she calls her "cloak of Invisibility" and, so far,
it seems to be working: when she finds herself in a dangerous situation she begins meditating,
places her gaze inwards (even though her eyes remain open) and pretends to be invisible!
Yesterday being Sunday, she found herself walking home on her walker on a deserted street
when two unholy looking characters appeared on the sidewalk walking towards her. Rather
than cross the street and attract attention to herself, she put on the "invisibility cloak" and walked
right past them on the sidewalk, looking back afterwards to see where they were: it was as if
they never even saw her! And they walked one way, mom walked the other way, got home
safely, and still ponders how we have ended up here. We love all the light streaming through
the windows, even on cloudy days, and plan to stay. So, here's to Morning Breakfast Runabouts
and Invisibility Cloaks, and the magic of Good People mom also meets!
Enjoy the brief, heartwarming video of Molly's Owl Box eBook, then please explain to us all
what an eBook is! Thank you.
