Totally Thrilled
Cody: What is this the 14,000 picture this mommie of mine has taken of me?
Piper: Code keep your head down, don't raise up. I don't want your head to block me.
Cody: Trust me the camera likes me more than you.
Piper: How could the camera like you more? I'm younger! I'm prettier!
Cody: Whatever, age before any type of beauty is what I say! You are just the little thing that someone decided to bring home with them one night.
Piper: Oh come on, life was boring until I came along.
Cody: Boring? No, definitely not! Life was great! All I had to worry about was Simon. I was on the fast track to becoming daddy's favorite. Mommie is way too neutral, I gave up winning her fully over years ago.
Piper: Scared of competition? I get it now! That's why you are always so darn grumpy! People need to bow down to you all the time.
Cody: I have worked too hard and for too long to see my popularity in this household take any type of dive. And now look at things! Now I'm taking orders from a cat to not put my head up because it might block her. What to make of my life?
Piper: Oh please, you get everything you want and you get to go OUTSIDE all the time. I'm only allowed indoors, these human parents freak out when I try to go out on the balcony. But you get to spend all afternoon out there watching people at the pool. And you get better treats than me. I get these little tiny wishful treats while you and Simon lick out peanut butter jars and chew on rawhides for what seems to be hours upon hours. Things aren't that great from where I stand. Furthermore I'm still young and learning my way. The other day daddy picked me up, he had some sunshades on. Well, I'm not used to seeing him in sunshades. All of a sudden I look at him and all I could see was 2 more of me staring back at me through those sunshades. I freaked. I nearly lost my cookies and more. I leapt out of his arms, headed for the next county.
Cody: (laughing) That was funny to watch. I will say you have brought me a few laughs in the last year and a half. Maybe you've been worth it! And you are right, I certainly wouldn't want any of the ridiculous treats you get. No thanks I'll take my rawhides and peanut butter any day.
Piper: Aw, Cody! Thanks! Thanks for noticing it isn't all bad now that I'm on the scene!
Cody: Yeah, I guess you're alright! I guess I can continue putting up with both you and Simon.
Piper: That's the spirit Code, like mommie tells you....don't be so much like Eeyore!
Cody: Can I raise my head up yet?
Piper: No. I'm giving the camera my new direct stare.
Cody: Oh geez, somebody confiscate the camera from mommie, so I don't have to keep taking orders from a cat!
