DODGING TIKA

 AS SOON AS I HEARD TIKA COMING BACK INTO THE HOUSE, I KNEW SHE WAS GONNA BE GUNNIN FOR ME Y'ALL! SO I HIGHTAILED IT BACK TO MY SLEEPING CHAMBERS QUICKER THAN KACI CAN FINISH OFF...LET'S SAY A ZEBRA!

 

 I KNEW I COULDN'T STAY THERE FOR VERY LONG BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SHE WOULD EVENTUALLY MAKE HER WAY BACK TO THIS END OF THE PALACE AND DISCOVER ME, VULNERABLE AND TRAPPED!

MENTAL NOTE TO SELF: LEARN HOW TO LOCK KENNEL DOOR FROM INSIDE...

I WAS FRIGHTENED HALF TO DEATH Y'ALL! I NEEDED A PLAN, AND I NEEDED ONE FAST!

THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLACE IN THE WHOLE PALACE I WOULD BE SAFE IN...
AND RIGHT NOW THAT PLACE SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A MILLION MILES AWAY.
IT ALSO SEEMED TO BE MY ONLY CHANCE OF SURVIVAL TOO!
IT SEEMS I WOULD HAVE TO RISK DEATH...IN ORDER TO LIVE.

NOTE TO MY FOLLOWERS: SHOULD MY NEXT ENCOUNTER WITH TIKA RESULT IN MY UNTIMELY DEMISE...I WANT TO THANK ALL FOUR OF YOU, FOR HAVING NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME THAN FOLLOW MY BLOG ALL THIS TIME. YOUR LOYALTY HAS BEEN MOST APPRECIATED!

I PUT MY EARS ON HIGH ALERT AND LISTENED VERY CAREFULLY FOR TIKAS PAW STEPS! SHE WAS IN THE KITCHEN NEXT TO THE CABINETS WHERE THE SINK IS!

 I CREPT OUT MY SLEEPING CHAMBERS WITHOUT A SOUND, AND PUT MY EAR AGAINST THE CABINET TO LISTEN TO THE VIBRATIONS TIKA'S PAW PADS WERE MAKING EACH THEY MADE CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR.

   SHE HAD MOVED INTO THE DINING ROOM AND WAS SNIFFING AROUND THE BIG GUYS SHIRT HANGING ON THE BACK OF A CHAIR, TO SEE IF MAYBE I HAD RUBBED UP AGAINST IT IN MY HASTE TO GET AWAY FROM HER DEADLY CLUTCHES!

 

 

                                                                I HAD NOT!

   

 I MADE MY WAY, STEALTHILY ALONG THE GRAND CORRIDOR WALLS, 

(THAT WOULD BE A SMALL HALLWAY TO YOU GUYS),

                                      AND THEN MOVED SWIFTLY INTO THE PARLOR...

I STOOD BY THE PARLOR TABLE AND LISTENED ONCE AGAIN, FOR THE SOUND OF TIKA APPROACHING FROM ANY DIRECTION!

                                                        IT WAS VERY QUIET!

TIKA WAS MOST LIKELY STANDING STILL SOMEWHERE, LISTENING  FOR ANY SOUND COMING FROM ME,  THAT MIGHT GIVE AWAY MY IMMEDIATE LOCATION

                                              SHE WOULD HEAR NOTHING!
                                 I REMAINED STILL AND CONTINUED TO LISTEN...

       MY LITTLE HEART WAS RACING...MY SENSES NEVER FELT MORE ALIVE!

I WAS PRETTY CERTAIN TIKA WAS HEADING DOWN THE SAME CORRIDOR, I HAD JUST COME FROM! BUT I NEEDED TO BE SURE!

I HOPPED UP ON THE CLOSEST PIECE OF FURNITURE TO ME, AND PEEKED OVER THE TOP OF THE CHAIR TO SEE IF MY INSTINCTS WERE RIGHT?

                 

                    THEY WERE! SHE WAS RIGHT WHERE I THOUGHT SHE WAS!

    I STRUCK A QUICK POSE FOR THE CAMERA TO USE IN MY BLOG SOME TIME,
  

AND THEN JUMPED DOWN LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTENING AND DASHED INTO THE DINING ROOM, TIKA HAD JUST LEFT!

                           I STOPPED IN MY TRACKS AND LISTENED AGAIN!

                                                                  NOTHING!

                                 
                                 I TURNED MY EARS TO THE LEFT...NOTHING!

                                   
                                I TURNED BACK TO THE RIGHT....NOTHING!

                           I PUT MY EAR TO THE FLOOR AND LISTENED AGAIN....

                                                               NOTHING!

                                                                 HMMM...

                 
                 IT'S STARTING TO LOOK REAL GOOD FOR THE CUTE ONE Y'ALL!

                                                         
AS I MADE MY WAY BACK THROUGH THE KITCHEN, TO COMPLETE THE LAST LEG OF MY DESPERATE ESCAPE FROM THE JAWS OF DEATH, I PICKED UP TIKA'S SCENT!

    
 SHE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 10-15 FLOOR TILES AWAY AT MOST!

             I MADE MY MOVE AND BROKE FROM THE KITCHEN LIKE A ROCKET! 

                  WHEN I GOT TO THE GARAGE....I TOOK ONE LAST LOOK BACK...

                                                                
                                                                AT LAST,

                       
                              I HAD MADE IT TO THE SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH!

                                                      
                                                          THANKS MOM!

                                               SEE YA NEXT TIME  Y'ALL!
