HELLO! My name is CHICKIE!

I was a helper girl this week.

Poppy got busy in the room where he and Mommy put moving pictures up for me to watch and smack at with my paw.

Of course, I knew he needed help, so I got a mask. I pulled the string off one end so it wouldn’t be too tight for him.

But he said he was hanging pictures, and he didn’t need a mask. So I helped him figure out if the pictures were level.

When he got that right, we went into the front room, where Mommy was sitting, and I helped Poppy pute.

I couldn’t help as good as I can when the gombuter is on a table. If it’s on a table, I can walk on the keys and help real good.

Sometimes, he would ask me a question I didn’t know. Then I would pretend to think, and Mommy would whisper the answer to me.

Then I would tell him, and Mommy would pretend to translate from cat: “Chickie says you need to ….”

Tipper: I helped by staying out of the way when I wasn’t needed.

But I was needed! I’m a very needery cat!

Tipper: You are, little sister. You are.

Well all right, then!
