It’s Zaturday, the day we, Ziggy and Zorro, take over Mommy’s blog!
Ziggy here. Mommy and Daddy took us on a long trip, and boy, was it fun! They have this little house that they pull down the road, and it’s really cool. It has a comfy bed, where we sleep with Mommy and Daddy and a couch that’s comfy, too.
At home, Mommy and Daddy never let us get up on the kitchen table or counters, but in the little house, they do. I’m glad, because that’s where we have the best views of what’s going on outside.
The views looking out the door and sitting on the back of the couch are pretty good, too, even at night.
It’s fun watching everything outside. We see lots of birds and squirrels. One day, we saw this. Mommy called it a turtle. We’d never seen one of those before.
Sometimes there are scary things out there, too. Like when this big thing came and emptied the trash. Mommy called it the Garbage Truck Monster. It was reeeeallly noisy! I hid under the covers, and Zorro climbed into a pillow case. All that beeping and clanging around was just too scary for us.
Going down the road in the truck is pretty fun, too. Sometimes I ride between Mommy and Daddy and look out the front window. Zorro usually sleeps in Mommy’s lap when we’re traveling. She says it’s hard to write with a cat in her lap, but Zorro doesn’t seem to mind. He just uses her computer for a pillow.
Sometimes he stands up to look out the window or gets in the back seat and cuddles up to me.
One day Mommy rolled the window down a little bit to get some fresh air, and I got to ride with my head hanging out for a minute. She was hanging on to my harness, but boy, was that fun! Mommy said I looked like a dog. That wasn’t true at all, because I didn’t have my tongue hanging out. I’m much too dignified for that. But the wind blowing my fur sure felt good.
Finally, Mommy and Daddy took us back home. We were sad, then. In fact, for two days, Zorro sat at the door looking out at the little house and crying. He was ready to go again.
But the other day, I heard Mommy and Aunt Kim talking about planning another trip next year. Zorro got really excited. We’re not sure when next year is, but we’re hoping it’s tomorrow!
This is a clever story written to amuse and recall trips with our favorite friend-animals. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it!
