Note: I am in Myrtle Beach this week with family, but have pre-written and scheduled posts to go live each day at the usual time. I’m sure I’ll be posting (non-kitten) pictures from Myrtle Beach on Instagram (which will auto-post to the L&H Facebook page), if you’d like to follow along.
While Mercury sniffs around under the door, Hubble checks out the tree.
“I am such a good tree climber,” he thinks proudly. “No one climbs trees better than me!”
Then SUDDENLY the tree tipped over on him, and he COULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED. “But I am so quick-thinking that I got my legs out of the way before that could happen!”
Hubble thinks he’s pretty awesome – and luckily he’s right.
“That was close!”
BUT THEN. ONLY MOMENTS LATER.
SOMEHOW (we were not paying attention) DA BAYBEE ENDED UP UNDER THE TREE.
“Mama! Mama! Help me!” cried Telstar. But Mama did not hear his cries.
(Mama was awfully close, maybe she was just pretending not to hear his cries. But we won’t judge.)
“Hubble! Hubble! Halp me, my favorite brother!” cried Telstar.
“Yep, that’s a tree on top of you,” said Hubble. “I almost got trapped under a tree just like that one, but I am too smart and quick and got my legs out of the way. I guess you’re not smart and quick like me.”
“Right, Mama? Aren’t I the smartest and quickliest and cutest kitten ever?”
“Child you are, without a doubt, in the top five in this entire room.”
“Mama!” cried Telstar. “Hubble! I am weakening! Someone halp me!”
Finally, Mercury realized that there was a situation that required her attention.
“Mama! Thank you so much, you finally came to help!”
“Ooh, a packing strip,” said Mercury. “These are SO tasty.”
“Mama?”
“I could use a nap,” said Mercury, as she ambled across the room.
“Mama…..?”

I love it so very much when Dennis lays on the bed and drapes one leg over his head. We call it “gorilla arm” because his leg looks weirdly long when he does it. Isn’t he THE most beautiful boy?
