Hi all. Bleu Eyes, here. This is my first post. I’m typically a bit shy, but I’m making an effort to come out of my shell. And this…this is something I just had to share. I hope my foster mom reads the post. I think she’ll find it hilarious. I don’t think anything like this happened when we were in foster care, but maybe she will shed some light after this.
It was Tuesday night last week. John was in cleaning our litter boxes and giving us some attention. Lindy came in a little while later to do a few things. As always, when she’s there, she has a ton of things to take care of at the shelter. She sometimes stops in on Tuesday nights after she delivers produce shares through her business.
Anyway, after she’d been there for a while I heard my brother, Why Not, get all excited. He was acting like he’d found some catnip. We all came running to see what the excitement was about. There he was, pulling a bag out of Lindy’s purse. He started prancing down the hall with the bag. Lindy realized what he was doing and took the bag of green beans away from him.
Ok, first of all, what are green beans and how did Why Not know that he liked them?!
It started to calm down a little bit, but out of the corner of my eye I could see Why Not sneaking toward Lindy’s purse again. I told him he should leave it alone, but he had this look in his eyes and I knew he wasn’t giving up. He wanted those beans. So, he pulled them out and started down the hall again. This time, when Lindy started following him, he began backing away from her like “No. These are my green beans and I’m going to take them.” Once he got into the back room, he started gnawing on the bag and beans. Lindy let him chew for a few minutes and then took them away for the final time.
Who knew…my brother’s a vegetarian.
