rescue at 5 pm *************** Pals looked in on me at 5pm they figgured i would have been done my job and in the need fior some relaxation I was brave and did not share that my work went to complete ruin and I am three days into zero nah, not me to rain on anyone where denial is what I eat for breakfast - the most important meal of the day soi we put some art supplies, and Taser into their car' and we all drove to get thm beer but the beer store was closed and so drove to a cheezt strip plaza and settld for iced tea and Tortilla chips Taser was delighted to be driving in a car- watching so much roadside action zip past through the window but soon decided there was something of great value on the floor Then to the lake and when I opened the car door and let him out he was shocked & delighted that we had arrived right at his favourite place in the company of his favourirte people and we had food and as there were three giants with him no dog woiuld ever prevail so I watched as Alyssa ,marched across the meadow, closely followed by Taser dancing at her heels to retrieve his jumping stick which I stash in rose bushes Matt played guitar to honour the lake and i just sat there taking it all in I saw from a distance the Taser routine I usually perform at the lake: - dig out & work the magic stick as the kitten races around his electric red fur a blurr of action in sharp contrast to the quiet lush green meadow and as the string and feather end begins to wiggle that come and get me dance taser leaps at it like a saber toothed cat Other strollers ask me who's that working the kitten tohight? I begin to grasp that Taser, like Jinky before him is everybodys favourite attraction at the lake the amazing olympic cat show ] every evening at the waters edge everybody invired- except maybe dogs I can finally see why watching Alyssa and Taser do their crazy leap routine as a mere observer myself two full body lengths and combination double mid air twist I realize that every evening he does these sorts heroic acrobatic shows for the many lake watchers who gater to watch the sun set over the vast sheet of uncompromised water that is the Great lake Ontario As we sit and pop our iced tea and pass around the tortilla chips some people pass by and thank us for the show they thought iot was teriffic at which point Taser leaps on the table walks around sniffing our beverages and then jumps onto my shoulder' and stands on his himd legs and attempts to climb the tree above us by grabbing onto a overhanging branch By this point everybody was laughing and clapping at the sheer nerve ' of this small red cat trying to climb a big pine tree by standing on people I was honoured he trusted me enough to use me as a scaffold and just fo for it I was lucky I had witnesses because I doubt anybody would ever believe me if they hadn;t seen it for them self It is just a matter of time' before cats can fly I had completely forgotten how pissed off I was beforec 5 pm andnow I was in no mood to re piss off so i accepted the ride back with Taser and reworked the last of the T shirt art so we can go into production tomorrow Taser is napping in a little box' he sure earned his catfood today
