AL-E's Work of Art - Tuesday Morning






AL-E bounced into our lives without any announcements or planning from our end.

AL-E is healthy, charming, fun, gorgeous like an A-List film star from Hollywood or Bollywood (take a pick) and has a sense of humour. Sounds like a great pet right? ...Err think again..

Living with AL-E has its drawbacks. AL-E can be all time-consuming as a full time job and can be somewhat expensive.

AL-E can be impossible, stubborn, has a penchant for chewing up paper/tissues/books/newspaper, loves to be driven around, clumsy, gets excited when he sees any paper material at sight and will try his best to pull them out regardless of his safety...

The minute I walked out of my bedroom today, I was presented with more work than I need...The floor of the living, dining and some parts of both of our study area were flooded with papers, broken pieces of vase and marbles...My little 'monkey' has been tip-toeing to get the brochure which was on the side table near my study area...He managed to pull out the brochure but in the process broke the vase and a bowl which is filled up with marbles to the brim. Sigh!

The morning's excitement is far from over. Just when I had finished sweeping, vacuuming and mopping the floor, I realised that more broken glass pieces were flown all over the kitchen floor plus more marbles to be picked up...

Clutching the bucket, mop, broom, vacuum, gloves, cloth, hot water laced with floor-cleaner, I went to the kitchen for clean-up.

Took me more than an hour to clear up the whole darn mess by AL-E the impossible.

There goes my scheduled morning trip to do my long OVERDUE manicure and pedicure...urggh...urrggh...gerrrr...Animal taking over my home....

AL-E was punished was 45 minutes inside the crate. He kept quiet, peed and did his potty during this time.

The minute he was released from his dungeon, tails wagging, he sniffed me all over, gave me a sad look (with his long ears flopping, makes the scene really surreal), stared at me for awhile and eventually jumped on me to give me lots facial...

Oh brother...what can I say....I was beaten. There was no point being mad at little 'monkey'. That look melt my heart. He is forgiven. We made up, played games for an hour and now he is soundly asleep.

Work of art alright, finally following the human mother on this aspect - becoming an artist though be it Picasso or Pollock. Aisay, maybe he just could not find his marbles, so, need glass marbles.
