After Creative Clara had published Baggy's blog yesterday, the peace in the Baggy household was shattered. Baggy heard Pepper dash upstairs, so Furry Mama followed to make sure that all was well. As she reached the top of the stairs, Freda Fretter saw that Pepper and the mighty Hinge cat (as Baggy's friend Lettra calls her), were face-to-face on the landing. Clever Bird decided to wait and see how things panned out, much to Freda's concern. Hinge is a very large cat. More accurately, she's more like three cats in one, but as every one of her hairs was perpendicular to her body, she looked enormous! Pepper watched her, wagging his tail. He went in for a sniff. Suddenly all hell broke loose. A mad chase started. Freda panicked, one of her furries was in grave danger of getting hurt. Hinge and Pepper charged into the bedroom. Furry Mama shot in afterwards expecting carnage. But thankfully all was well. Pepper had leapt onto the safety of the bed where he was laying with bulging eyes! Hinge was sitting on the carpet, licking her paws, growling at him.
Furry Mama couldn't help it - she laughed! The last thing she'd expected was Hinge to be brave enough to chase Pepper. But seeing her looking like some crazed fur ball, hissing and growling in very fast pursuit of a dog three times her size was not just funny, but a very big relief! She told Pepper what a good boy he was and went and stroked her lovely Hinge. Hinge's fur returned to its normal position and she started to purr loudly. Pepper watched on, not daring to move. Furry Mama went and stroked Pepper. Hinge carried on purring.
This morning, number one furry left for work at silly o'clock, as usual for a Monday. Hinge had joined them on the bed earlier and stayed with Baggy when Calum left. Eventually there was the usual morning whimper from Pepper's crate. His collar was downstairs, but Furry Mama decided to let him out anyway. After his usual stretch, he leapt onto the bed for his morning cuddle. There was a hiss and growl. Pepper froze, then lay down next to Furry Mama. Hinge didn't move. She started purring. Pepper curled up having licked Baggy's face. Everyone fell back to sleep! They all surfaced at 9.00! Clever Bird now needs to try and persuade little Bracket to come out from under the spare bed. Hopefully if Hinge becomes totally happy with Pepper, Bracket might follow suit.
Furry Mama decided to take Pepper to Dunwich today. Clever Bird realised that the "long" walks that she used to do with Minty Mutt, weren't very long at all. Today she added lots of bits and doubled back more than once, to make it a properly long walk.
Furry Mama did a bit of "sit and wait" training in the thirteenth-century Friary ruins. Pepper was fascinated by the sheep. He is fifty-percent collie, but Clever Bird can't decide whether he's ever seen sheep before.
As a treat at the end of the walk, Furry Mama threw his ball lots while Baggy sat on the pebbles like a super-trainer waiting for him to bring it back to her. Furry Mama was so lucky to have a one-in-a-million dog like Minty Mutt, she can't believe how lucky she is to have been chosen by another one.......
