Zero Points

Bubsy: Boo! Did we scare you? 👻 The spooky season is in full swing. We are just a few days away from Halloween. Are you ready for Halloween, sissy?

Sissy: Nope! Not ready at all. I’m never ready. Then again holidays small and big rarely happen when they should around here. 

Bubsy: So true. Maybe we should explain that. Our mom eats very CLEAN on a special program. And she will only splurge on Saturdays. Therefore birthdays and such an occasion as Halloween gets delayed. Halloween is being called “Falloween” in our house…mom’s combo word for Fall + Halloween…

Sissy: And this so-called Falloween will be held next Saturday as we have company coming over for a Falloween themed game night and/or Halloween movie night. 🎃 

Bubsy: So sissy how was your week? 

Sissy: My week was so-so. Mom made me mad on Friday. But I was willing to wipe the slate clean and we have enjoyed a pretty decent weekend.

Bubsy: I heard about the issues you had with mom but I didn’t actually witness it. I was busy behaving. 😇 

Sissy: Where should I begin…it was breakfast time as mom was leaving for work. She gave Bubsy his food just perfectly and he happily left the kitchen with his treat ball in his mouth. But my food….😖…a little bit of my food got spilled. Down it went on the kitchen floor. 😒 I looked dumbfounded. Mom saw the look I was giving her. Then she told me it was okay to eat the food that spilled all over the floor. I looked at her as if she had lost her mind. Once again, I was dumbfounded. I do not eat my food off the dirty floor. What does she think I am? 

Bubsy:…let me interject….perhaps mom thought you were a dog and would do something lots of dogs do…eat off the floor. 🐶 

Sissy: What the heck! I’m a baby girl. Mom tells me everyday I’m her “sweet baby girl”. So then don’t ever expect me to eat my food off the floor. I am a self-respecting dignified baby girl that doesn’t eat off the floor. I stood my ground and before long mom was down on her hands and knees picking up each piece of kibble for me. One point for me…zero points for mom. 👍

Bubsy: I have no response to this! Sissy is a little delusional! 😵‍💫🤪 But after sissy’s long winded story, it’s time to wrap this up and get to watching the Cowboys game. They have a tough matchup tonight. 

Sissy: Let’s go Cowboys! 🤠 

Bubsy: Enjoy your week everyone! Happy Halloween a little early! 🎃👻
