HI, Our mommy is such a silly mommy. She pulls out this big machine that she calls a "sewing machine". She is really careful with it and won't let us near it. She says it might hurt us. She even pulls the chairs away from the table when she has it out. She even thinks to put the "foot" on the table and unplug it when she walks away. Well, today, she pulled it out and was working away and wouldn't let us play with it. We were really mad and sulked and even nipped at her knees, but she wouldn't give in. (Sometimes, she will give in and put us on the desk when we want to play up there). She got a phone call and got tied up with our Aunt Sherri and forgot that some of us were still lurking around. :-) We snuck into the dining room and were sniffing the only part we could get to. The foot. Orion walked over to it and stepped on it. When he did, the table went, "CHUNKA CHUNKA CHUNKA". He jumped off immediately! It scared us all, so we had to jump around and try to figure out who did that. Orion said, "Did you do it?" bounce, bounce, bounce, Sola went, "NO. Did you do it Venus?" bounce, dook, bounce I said, "NO. Who did it?" bounce bounce bounce. Well, I bounced too near the foot and landed on it. Guess what happened? We heard CHUNKA CHUNKA CHUNKA. So we all started war dancing and chittering. Well, when we started chittering, mom heard us. Heck, Sola even hissed! When mom walked in, Sola was trying to rub her fluffy tail down and just then, Orion jumped on the foot to attack it. When he did, it protested and went CHUNKA CHUNKA CHUNKA again. We all started war dancing again and Sola's tail poofed out and she ran out past mom. We just continued to dance and dook. Mom was laughing very hard at us. She says it doesn't make that noise when she uses it, because it doesn't vibrate with her hands on it. All we know is, something goes CHUNKA CHUNKA CHUNKA when we jump on the big black foot. Orion even tried to attack a door stop because it looked very similar to the foot. You could really see our anticipation and disappoint in that attack. We waited for the noise, and was very upset when we didn't get it. Oh well. Keep a listen out FLO members! If you hear it and figure out where it comes from, let us know! Alas, we can only tell Luna and Eros about this. They were off napping. Luna Orion Venus Eros Sola Please join iGive.com and help a charity of your choice.
