Post-stay at Fee's

It has been a busy week following the last weekend's stay with Fee.

On early Saturday morning, we had set off happily to Fee's for what we thought was an innocent visit, but to our surprise, mummy was out of sight within 15 minutes (to go for a camp) and we were left there like two abandoned kids.

Of course we waited and we looked. But she did not come back into sight again.


What followed can be read at Fee's blog... I decided to busy myself with parenting while silly Party wanted to adopt the two furry bunnies.

But mind ya, these were not all to the stay. For me, parenting's been tough. While putting myself in an unfavourable position as the bully, everyone truly neglected to explain why Fee's toy - Tug - was around my neck... and look dear Fee, what huge fangs you have...

Things got dramatic on Sunday when Party turned moody and refused to respond to anyone. Fee’s mummy, Auntie R, was so worried that she even called mummy! It was only until he got all the special attention (unfair), sweet talk (double unfair) and air-con plus more roaming time (super unfair) that he ‘came back to life’.

And when mummy finally turned up on Monday to pick us up, Party looked as if great grievances had been done unto him; he hid in corners and looked so sad!

After we went home, he sulked, looked bored or pitiful at all times. One time, he even went as far as to disappear and hide in the bathroom. Ooo… that surprised mummy who knows that we hated the bathroom – we usually had to be tricked/ lured/ whisked in there for our showers. Mummy almost believed that he was sick, till he responded to ‘special attention’ (yeah, that high-pitch ‘Party Party…’, sleeping on the bed… air-con…)

Poof, only I know that the big baby was trying to instill immense guilt in mummy for leaving him behind. Or perhaps his insecurities about being abandoned are acting up again. Oh well, he gets all the attention again…

Thankfully I am in luck! Party is the one working hard but I am getting to ride on the benefits again! We just heard that we are going for the long-awaited picnic at the dog run next Saturday!

Way to go, Party!

Pleased wire,

Mango
