COMPANY is Here!!!

Late last night the Ninjas' cousin, Annika, came to visit them and her dog, Cleo, came to visit ME!!! We have had fun chewing on each other's necks and chasing through the yard, but we didn't have much fun at the park today... Of all the grave injustices ever experience, ours, surely, ranked at the top... WE (poor, dear, sweet, Cleo and I) were SHACKLED to a tree and not allowed to swim with the swans! But, and this is the most injurious fact of all, Annika, the Middle Ninja, and the Littlest Ninja GOT to swim with the swans! How do you like that? WE are told we cannot swim where the swans are swimming, but THEY get to jump right in! Incredible. Cleo and I just sat there shackled brutally to that tree, shaking our heads in sorrowful disbelief. Then, making it even worse, CLEO'S Spokesperson came and led her away from the tree and I was left utterly ALONE, FORGOTTEN, FORSAKEN. I had almost despaired completely, when sweet little Annika came to sit with me through my torturous confinement. She fed me pieces of grass, shells of nuts, and even a small twig or two. She loved on me and shared secrets with me. She was the one bright moment in an otherwise disappointing visit to the park!
