Staggered out of bed while it was still dark and took the dogs out. Thought I heard a soft squeaking noise from Fric but was too tired to care. Came back upstairs and went to make my bed while the computer booted up. Yellow alien and a piece of fleece from an old slipper that I gave the dogs years ago was on my bed. No aliens in with puppies who were sleep and looking chubby. Twice Fric came downstairs while I was doing morning chores and tried to get into the cupboard. Son Dan emailed me that I gotta find out what’s there. Note: He did not say, “Mom, I’ll come up and clean out that cupboard for you.” I probably should, though. Maybe the Mother Ship is back there. Still, I shudder to think what else might be in there, too.
While I was eating my breakfast, I heard Fric fussing at my bedroom door so I opened it and went back downstairs again. When I took her and BeeBee out later, I found one of the purple aliens on the front walk. She apparently took it out with her when we went out first thing. Fric ignored it on the way down the walk and Bee grabbed it on the way back and brought it into the house. Fric watched her playing with it for a while, but then went back up to the puppies. When I came up just now, I discovered the yellow alien back in with the puppies and the other purple one under my bed. It will be interesting to see if all three make it back to the pen today only to be moved again while I’m sleeping. Puppies are doing fine and don’t seem to care about all this extraterrestrial activity one way or the other.
