And guess what? The Head of The Wardens said he wasn't looking for me anymore! I guess that means he doesn't want to kill me anymore? Gee, THAT'S a relief! I wonder why he changed his mind...

Oh well, no matter. This is great because now I can spend more time roaring around in the water, which is my favourite! Tennis balls float, did you know that? AND did you know that when apricots fall off trees they make a dull THUNK sound? Now microwave popcorn is great. So is cat food. But ripe apricots - oh boy! I got all the ones off the ground in jiffy, so now I have to stand under the tree waiting for more, and it's really quite frightening if they THUNK too close to me, and I jump out of my skin and dart off, but I just have to turn around and go right back to find them. I could spend all day just standing in the shade watching the apricots fall. Mom thinks this is hilarious, and tells me she's so happy that I now have "freedom to express normal behaviour".

Gotta go now, James is opening a can of cat food. Simon gets it all (cats ALWAYS get their own way) but I get to lick the spoon!
Kisses to all of you!

Lots and lots of love and wiggles,

Cheech
