The worst part is trying to psyche them out that nothing is wrong, they are such good little mind readers.
It’s 0612 hrs and Belle jumps up on the bed to knead the blanket covering her Dad’s chest. She purrs to soothe her anxiety. Something isn’t right. Every day of the week, the alarm begins its annoying chiming at 0600. This morning, it did not.
Dad, wake up. Something is different.
Belle purrs louder, her kneading grows insistent.
Wake up wake up wake up!
A groggy hands finds that special place between her cheek and ear and gently scritches it with a knuckle. The touch is familiar and soothing. Belle closes her eyes and lays down. The ripples of disturbance are dissipating and soon, all will be right in the world.
Dad forgot it’s Thursday. He thinks it’s Weekend and is sleeping in. Breakfast will be late, but it’s coming.
Little does Belle realize, the reason for Dad sleeping in has nothing to do with forgetting it’s Thursday, or thinking it’s Weekend.
This morning will be like so many mornings albeit a little late. She will be brushed. To her delight, her favorite toy will be brought out to be chased, pounced upon and thoroughly chewed during her morning hunt. Afterward, breakfast will be served in her favorite carrier.
What she doesn’t know, it’s all part of s nefarious plot to lie her into a trap. As soon as the unsuspecting Belle enters to enjoy her morning repast, she will be betrayed and the barred door will clang shut behind her. At 0900, Belle is to be carried off to meet face to face with the evil Dr. Vet and his Mindless Minions in their secret lair, victim of their sinister ministrations.
Will Belle survive the proddings and needles of the evil Dr. Vet? Will her Dad come to his senses and rescue our Hapless Heroine before the Mindless Minions change her into an angry, snarling buzzsaw of tooth and claw?
