Almost Quiet on the Alien Front 01-30-08

There was no activity in Alien Land yesterday until I opened my bedroom door in the late afternoon. After that, I noticed that Frica had moved the yellow alien to the rug in front of the pen. However, it was back in bed with me when I woke up around 11 because the little female pup was crying. I finally gave up trying to figure out what was bothering her and got up, at which point she went to sleep and remained quiet until I left for a veterinary meeting at about 7:15. When I came upstairs to do puppy-related chores before I left, there was no sign of the yellow alien. Fric did rummage around in the back of the closet downstairs, but it wasn’t there, either.

While I was at the meeting, my friend Ann came and puppy-sat and said that all was fine. When I got home, the yellow alien was on the floor in the living room near where Ann had been sitting with the dogs reading, but she had no idea how it got there or when. It’s still down there as I write this.

Tonight I hope that, whatever else the alien or aliens might do, they put puppy-lullabies on the list because I’m useless without sleep.
