Kiki and I took a lovely long walk today. I growled at Christmas decorations. Kiki thinks this was a comment that the decorations should not be up after the New Year.

During our walk I stepped in a muddy hole left behind by people who installed the broadband conduit (I don’t know what that means, just repeating what I heard). I was not hurt but my leg came out covered in mud, which I did not like. I suffered through the indignity of being muddy for the rest of the walk, and was very appreciative when Kiki cleaned me up later.

We visited Kiki’s parents so she could use their Internet for her boring work meeting. When we came home in the evening Kiki tried to get me to post in front of the fire, but I would get no closer than you see in this picture. She wonders if I am afraid of fire?
