FRIDAY 29th Apr: Ping Pong Pack


Crinkly

Cato:   We had the bestest walk all week!  Mum wasn't stuck sitting at her computer today, so we went out for a Pack Walk.  

Pack Walks are the best, cos everyone is together, and safer, and we can all make sure we are all alright.  Tara is too silly to understand this.  Anyway, Dad wanted to go to the little square park again, cos last time we went we saw Meg and played with her, and he wanted to see her again.  Meg is a 14 week Jack Russell puppy and I liked her a lot.  Dad says she is my girlfriend.  But she isn't.  Cos that is just slushy.

So we went down the hill and across the traffic lights, and I was pulling cos I know the way, and Tara was pulling cos Dad lets her pull and she is naughty.

Meg wasn't there.

Here we are:

This is the pavillion.  It is all closed up and dirty and stuff, but it was FUN today.  Mum says we should call it the Ping Pong Pavillion from now on, cos it was so great.

First of all we Ping Ponged round corners:

The Mum and Dad started getting more cunning and moving about.

 

Tara:

This is me coming

and this is me going

and then Mum sneakily sneaked off and hit on the other side!  And we didn't notice, even when Dad went over the other side too:

And Cato stopped playing, cos he is boring and a wimp.  So I don't see why he got treats too.  He just has to do his Meerkat and he gets EXTRA treats!  Not fair!

But then we DID see Mum

And this is me going back and forth again.

This is me practicing my Athleticals.  I got up here all by myself. Aren't I clever!?!

And this is me trying to jump down, but it looks ever so high...  Dad was going to help, but Mum said 'No! let her learn consequences.' 

:(

Mum:   It is an interesting park.  Complete with Texan oil wells, and a climbing wall.

I pointed out to Tara that if she really wanted to be an Internet/Media/GrumpyCat/Blog Athletic sensation, then mere walls might not cut it, and she should start aiming a bit higher.  At the high grey climbing wall.  Or these poles.

or this slide/climbing combo

She ignored me, and went and beat up Cato.

Although this spinning wheel caught her attention.  But was that the wheel? Or her Dad sitting on it?

Have to say, if I had grown up near this park, this tree would have been the centre of attention.

I love that tree!  That is the best tree ever!  I would have went nuts for it when I was a kid.  I would have definitely been climbing it.  I would climb trees at my grandparent's house and then get stuck.  My parents would fuss at me for going up so high.  

That is a neat park.  Cato and Tara look like they are having a great time!

You two have the most amazing time when your out and about.......looks like your finally getting a break in the weather. What a fun time playing ping pong. I see you too have the attack of the spray paint artist in your part of the world also.......it is sad how they have no regard for property that is not theirs........Love the park.......interesting houses in the background.......I could get lost just walking up and down the streets in your area......gazing. I LOVE the tree......wish I had something like that when I was a kid.......heck it would be pretty cool now.....just would need a ladder to get up in it......

You guys have more fun than anyone in the whole world!  And Tara, one of the reasons you have the most fun is that your Mom doesn't fret about every little thing......like getting down from where you climbed up!  Very tricky!  I think your Mom was/is a tomboy and you are too!

Tara:  Mum explained wot a Tomboy is, Auntie Marlene.  And YES!  I want to be a boy, but a better boy than Cato.  Maybe a boy with balls?  Would balls get me higher in a tree?  I would like to climb a tree.  Only I would keep the PINK too.  A PINK boy with balls.

Mum:  Hmmm.  Not sure she really 'got' my explanation, eh?

Tara.....you don't need "balls" (except for mini-tennis ones)!  They just get in the way.  You are much more streamlined and athletic the way you are.

Stay a girl.........but play hard and let the whole world know you are in charge!  Then.......when the odd thing happens and you get pinned or need help - you can play the defenseless girly girl.  You will get help with a scolding of whomever caught you in a weak moment....and THEN when they are feeling sorry for you......you can pounce again and come out on top!  It's called "fight like a girl".

Girls are smarter.....everyone knows that.  So while you may not physically be able to climb higher....YOU are the one who will figure out levers and stools and ladders and get yourself up there!

It's why we subtly but actually are the stronger sex and actually do rule everything but the males are so busy admiring their balls they don't get it.  giggle

Mini tennis balls are great!

I AM streamlined and Athletical, aren't I?

I think you are right, Auntie Marlene.  I just need to get Mum to lift me up into that tree.  And Cato just needs to learn to do what I tell him, instead of doing his stupid boy stuff that no one is interested in.

Starting today!!!:cheer:Thank you Auntie Marlene.  you are my HERIONE!!!
