incredible shrinking people

so now my people are getting up early almost everyday. some days it's really early. i like those days the best because they cover me up with the duvet or i go and find the warmest spot on the bed. yes, i go back to sleep. who wouldn't? it's practically night when they leave.

but more times than not, they wake me up early! of course, they fill my bowl with chicken and crunchies which is always a good thing and they play ball for a while, but then it's outside in the cold for me to "empty out". they're gone for a while and when they come back, it's rush time. but i bring them the ball anyway. they love to play while they get ready for work.

it seems like there's more food making, but unfortunately it's not the food i like to eat. the people are eating all sorts of green stuff i can't stand. and in the morning, they don't have toast anymore. they eat some white stuff that looks like paste. i gotta get over to grandma's and grandpa's for a real breakfast with buttered toast soon.

they're always putting stuff in plastic containers and bringing big bags of stuff home. so far i haven't seen too many good things coming out of the bags. well, maybe those turkey pepperette things. but i get the feeling my people are sick of them. mom's the only one who is eating them and most of the time i eat most of each stick.

it looks like my people are changing. for one thing, they are not nearly as comfortable to sleep on. they are starting to have bones sticking out in all the wrong places. but that's ok, like i said, i get more time on their pillows while they're away in the mornings.
