Relationships

Tom: I am not the one who is usually given the task of elaborating on philosophical issues, but our topic today is relationships. Needless to say, the most important relationships in my life are with #1 and with Sen-Chan, my close family, but there are so many more. I would like to share with you a photo taken yesterday that shows me and my friend Pie (an important relationship!) having a very deep and intent "treat relationship" with Pie's Ms.A:

On a day-to-day basis, though, I share almost everything with Sen-Chan, and #1 keeps aiming the camera at us, as though we were doing something unusual...

Sen-Chan: Well, I have certainly had my share of relationships over the last 24 hours! Last night, I was sleeping on my Boogie Mat, between #1's keyboard and screen, when this most peculiar creature landed on my tail!

Can you see it? It was quite overwhelming in its sheer greenness! #1 said it's called a grasshopper.

And then today, when the time for my outing came, I thundered out of the door, and shortly thereafter, thundered back in to offer a beautiful giftie to #1. Well, the fuss! She rounded up both me and Tom, and locked us up. I was looking through the crack in the door and saw her crawl under the table and retrieve my catch (it was quite unharmed, honest!)

So, anyway, she took it back out and put in it a tree hoping it would be OK, And guess what I got:

Can you believe it has a BELL on it?!

Our Friend Pie

Tom: Aside from having a kind and loving #1, friends are among the most important things in life, and I consider myself very lucky in that category. One of my best friends is a lovely lady called Pie. I have mentioned her before as we had several walks together last week when #1 was incapacitated and Ms. A came to take me out. Last night, #1 and I were invited to dinner at Ms. A's and I got a chance to spend the whole evening with Pie! It was a beautiful evening and the people ate out on the terrace while we romped and romped and romped... and finally flopped:

Sen-Chan: For some obscure reason, I was not invited yesterday and I had to, sniff...., spend the whole evening at home by myself, sniff..... But I wanted to tell you that Pie is my friend too! In fact, I call her Sweetie-Pie! Apparently, Ms. A is not quite sure whether she wants to cover me in kisses or eat me up, but I know it's the former! See for yourselves:
