As the Tail Turns

2 things - Way back memory & more Maddie Chronicles. Scroll down.

Way back memory of the 80s
by Douglas Nielsen

Greetings from Tucson, AZ – digging through some boxes of photos last night, and look what I found??
Have you ever seen this one?? Taken in the studio by Roy Blakey – and I can’t guess exactly when??
Maybe you can do the math by the looks of how young Swanny looks??
Odette was always willing to let her tail down and sleep in my lap – no matter where we went.
Hope all is well in Woodstock. Love following you on FB.  XXDoug 

The Maddie Chronicles, continued....

Those worthless two legs tricked me!

I was laying on the couch watching "The Chew".......I just love that name don't you? It was then that those sketchy folk started collaring my buds. First Gambit, then Tempest, and finally my buddy Bolt. I figured the Blonde was doing another distance torture.

Well all of a sudden the Blonde returned with that look in her eyes. I fled to the big girl bed but she followed a snatched me. It was too a snatch!

Anyway I was taken in a python compression hold out to the rolling home. I had not authorized this trip nor was I consulted. I found my friends confined on the upper deck where I'm not allowed. How is this fair? I was left in sub economy on the floor. I voiced my displeasure for the first 20 minutes of the journey. My buddy Bolt was a complimentary serenading voice, Gambit was more of a discord. The sketchy Bald chauffeur ignored us.

The vibration put me to sleep for awhile but I periodically woke and whined. Eventually we stopped and the two legs began the bribery process. Dehydrated chicken treats appeared, my Senji friends were released, the RV park reality show started. My favorite was the female two legs in the floppy hat that bent over to pick up something at her spot, came back up quickly saying "Oh My Lord" and the walked quickly back to her rolling house with her hands behind her. It looked like she had two toned pants but her hands were in the way.

Anyway The Bald dude prepared some high smellin and good tasting grub and Bolt and I watch Jurrasic World. I like Blue. I suspect more confinement is coming. I wonder if the two legs will listen if I tell them I'm gonna go all Jurrasic on them? Maddie
