Ready For My Close-Up

Maggie speaking....

Well, she's back ...At least I think it is she...she who used to live here with me...but until today I was not sure; she seemed so different from the woman I remember...It was when she got that phone out today and pointed at me and kept trying to snap my photo that I was pretty sure it was she....Who else would do that? 

The woman disappeared months ago..went off to the cottage and never returned. It was lonely here. As much as she drove me bonkers with her phone and all, I missed her. The house seemed so empty. My aunt Elaine next door came in to feed me every day but it just wasn't the same...and then out of nowhere, this woman called Mary showed up and stayed for a couple of weeks with me! I remembered her because she had been here before but she had been here to visit the woman. This was weird because the woman wasn't even here..so whom was she visiting? ME? If so, that was pretty nice of her as I really needed some company...And I liked her; she doted on me and never once tried to take my photo! 

And then, just before Mary left, the woman came back! She looked the same, but she sure didn't act the same...There was a lot of lying down in this very strange bed that appeared in the dining room. She seemed to have trouble getting around and doing everyday things..like feeding me..and she couldn't even change my litter...Aunt Elaine is still coming in to do that...And then on top of all that, strangers started coming in every day to help her do things. Geez! This place was like Union Station...so much coming and going...but at least I am not lonely now...and I keep hoping that one day soon, the woman will be more like the one who left that day in July.

In the meantime, I won't fight the taking of photos...Maybe if I let her, she will soon get back to her old annoying ways..and life as I knew it will return....?
