Hi, it's me, Cherry.  Last night I was out doing my usual supervision
of the dog walk.  We turned a corner, and I decided to take a graceful
antelope-leap over Joy (the dog, Brittany Spaniel).  At the same time
that undisciplined, painfully clumsy dog decided to dart forward and
up.  Of course, my graceful leap was rudely interrupted by the large
dog-body in front of me, which I encountered head-first.  I changed
direction, went straight in the air and landed where I had originally
planned, on the other side of the dog.  Then I saw two unknown hoomins
watching.  My own hoomin was laughing her head off.

What could I do?  I gave myself several dignity licks and abandoned
supervising the dog walk.  Could I actually admit that these two
creatures, the hoomin and the dog, belonged to me?

I have let the hoomin know what I think by staying out of her bed at
night.  Well, except for the perfect opportunity to meatloaf on top of
her.  Once.  I would have stayed out all night, but it's cold out
there.

Do any of you have such awkward and embarrassing critters in your
home?
