I received an email today from the Critter Crew who (thank goodness) arrived
in Oz safely. I hope Squeeeks was of assistance to Ladybug as I haven't
heard a word from Squeeeks about it. I know she was a little nervous about
helping Lady Bug as she is such a venerable and well-known lady piggy. LMM
swears she hasn't gotten a tattoo, but Tribble and Smoke seem to have
remained suspiciously quiet about the whole subject. I really hope if they
come home with tattoos that they are of the pen and ink kind or vegetable
dye! I know LMM was a little disappointed when she got to Oz and realized it
wasn't Emerald Oz but Australia! However she assures me she has gotten over
that disappointment and is saving her ruby shoes to wear at the cavaret...
she thinks they will be especially appropriate for watching Priscilla Queen
of the Dessert! I said she might want to offer then to Igor or Fugly and she
said no way that they were her's and her's alone.
Winkle is most excited about the pinata - he says he is popcorning up and
down in anticipation of getting to whack it! He says also that there are
many lovely and genteel lady piggies, but as attractive as they are, he
still misses his Widget... which then makes Smokes and Squeeeks sad because
they think about their mum and recently departed brother Licorice.... but as
soon as the fridge is open and the wheeking starts up they are happy to join
in.
Smoke has been saving his leather jacket for the big day - he rather fancies
himself as a James Dean type of piggie. Regardless, he is kind of shy and
says all the girl piggies are looking at Fugly, Igor, Sailor Willie and Duke
with longing eyes. I told him he just needed to be more socialble and he
would surely meet the piggette of his dreams. he doesn't seem so sure but
said he would give it a try...
Apparently all of them are enjoying trying out the romaine hats and then
quickly gobbling them up. I understand Squeeeks tried to intervene between
Spunky, Miss Perky and Miss Pooky when they were stealing each others Egg
cards.... of course, now all five of them are clamouring for their own egg
cards which I didn't provide them with.... I told them it was because I
didn't want to have to send them out to work like the Piggyfriends do!! They
said oh, but quickly forgot and started wheeking about the unfairness of it
all. Fortunately I sent them with several huge vats of carrot beer and
dandelion wine to contribute to the festivities. I also said to Tribble that
she needed to find the several pounds of chocolate, Oxbow hay and carefresh
litter I sent to give to Granny so as to help with their upkeep. I rather
suspect they were so excited about the vats of carrto beer and dandelion
wine that they all forgot completely! Especially after their first few
glasses shared with all the other fine piggies there! However, I am assured
they will dig through their luggage and make sure Glynis gets it all!!!
Missing the 5 piggies of the Critter Crew but knowing they are warm and safe
and having loads of fun makes me happy.
