The Great Stick Hunt of 2012

So,  Nikita searched in vain for the beloved stick.

• Me:  Having temporarily given up the search, Nikita is now sleeping under the chair. I feel a smidge guilty.

  
  
• Ruth:  So with your guilt, she has won yet again!

  
  
• Me:  So true, she still hasn't found it, so has resumed the search after first killing the Kleenex box and then stalking the evil camera.

   
• Ruth:  Ollie is obsessed with ice cubes. He quietly sits in front of the refrigerator and looks up at the ice maker. Until I get up, dispense an ice cube, and slide it across the kitchen floor. He ignores it until I leave the room. Then he pounces. But occasionally after we go through this routine he just walks out of the room without touching the ice. Just to make sure I know that HE is in charge.

  
  
•  
• Me:  She is now examining the ceiling. Perhaps that stick is up there.

   
• Ruth:  One never knows.....

   
• Me:  Maybe its on one of the walls. Looking very carefully.

  
  
• Ruth:  When she starts spinning around in circles to see if it is attached to her tail, that will be something to see! 

  
  

  Me:  I'll try my best to capture it on film, provided I don't cave in first and just show her where it is.
• 
  
• Ruth:  At which time she will glare at you and walk away. But can she pull that off? It IS her very favorite toy. Will be interesting to see how she reacts.

   

  Me:  I'm guessing we'll find out sooner rather than later!

 So close, but yet so far!

Until......

WHOA!!!   Oh, Happy Day!  

Now, you will play stick with me!!!!!
