Grasshopper

Well, last night Virgil found a Grasshopper in the fire place. This thing was huge. He was just staring in there...I said, 'Virgil, are you daydreaming?' but then I saw it. So, I opened the fireplace up for it to come out. I thought Tux and Virgil could use a little spice in their life. So, Mr. Grasshopper slowly comes out. Little does he know...there are two cats stalking him...shaking their butts...POUNCE. Mr. Grasshopper jumps and jumps...cats flying all over the tables. Now Mr. Grasshopper is high on the window. They can't get to him...and they are not so happy. So Mitch comes in to see what is going on...b/c they were creating quite a commotion. Tux was crying and wanted me to pick him up so he could get a better reach...so, I pick him up, he swats at it...Mr. Grasshopper jumps and jumps…CATS FLYING...but now...we have a dog in the mix. Mitch starts leaping all over the place...I thought to myself, oh man what did I do. Ha-ha Mitch caught it. I thought he ate it b/c Mr. Grasshopper was MIA. This morning, I found him in the foyer...and he had some broken back legs so he couldn't jump. I think Mitch did a number on him... so I pushed him outside. That is the story of poor Mr. Grasshopper who meets the 'animal farm.'
