Today did not start well. Both Momma and Master have the sickies and with all the
hackin and
coughin going on last night, a dude could barely get his meditation time in. Momma tried to do the work at home so she wouldn't have to use another sickie day, but she said that the coughin medicine has produced compromised brain function and every time she looked at work stuff she felt all woogy (fortunately, helping me with my blog requires very little brain function, huh).
Next up, I tell you that my
stuffies typically last for many months because I know the proper way to play with them. So imagine my surprise when I found my Santa
Stuffie in this condition!
Eiyeeee! Some sort of alien
thingie sticking out of his belly. I suspect junior had a hand in this.

Santa is currently... retired.
Now what? Pee-wee is pulling a nutty in my water bowl!

Kid's really losing it.


I tried to get a sip in before he drained the tank, but...

The day did take a turn for the better because whilst I was out showing Dexter how to examine the perimeter, who should walk onto my estate, but none other than my human brother, Jake!

Not much can provoke me to actually, dare I say, break into a jog, but my human brother is like the coolest guy ever and I am always beside myself to see him. So watch out, here I come! Full throttle Mango!

Whoops! Crotch sniff.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Jake gave me plenty
lovin while I poured out my tales of woe over baby brother and sick Momma and Master. He is
sooooo understanding. Really knows how to communicate with a dude.
Anyhoo, besides seeing me, the other reason he came over was because there was a
lectrical incident when Master was working on my living room addition and somehow this light fixture which is totally in a different room went all
ker flewy.

I would have fixed the darned thing myself, but it involved going up a ladder, and, well, just not my forte, OK? Jake is a jolly-man elect-twist-can which is the next best thing to being building inspector Mango when it comes to solving the
lectricity problems.

Sure nuff! With my help, it was all fixed in a jiffy. Let there be light!
Mango Man! Oh yeah!
