Trusting A Mafioso Is Never A Good Thing

I sometimes take for granted that Vinnie and Bruno have been with us since the time they were four months old. They are pretty trustworthy around high value items, such as the the trash can. This gives me a false of security with the other two rescued Mafiosos.

So when my Mom gave me a new fruit basket, I thought nothing of it to move it to a new location. It's two-tiered, so my usual spot didn't have enough clearance for the second level.






I expected some curiosity from The Mafiosos. And I got it...






What I DID NOT expect was this!




Someone helped themselves to a nice, juicy peach from the fruit basket!


That someone's name is spelled G-I-N-O.





Lesson learned! The fruit basket is now in an area that is unreachable to paws.





And I guess I should thank Gino for always keeping me on my toes. :-)

Why is it that whenever you're making the bed or changing the sheets,
a cat must instantly appear and plop itself in the middle of the bed?

Powerful Pirate

Bruno keeps bugging me for a new dog tag. He says his isn't cool anymore. I told him he can't have one until the one he has breaks or falls off. The economy is tough right now and we need to pinch our cookies, er, pennies.

I guess he took my advice to heart.


Joke's on him though! He only broke a piece of it. The deal was the tag was to break entirely. How does one manage to only break one bone from the crossbones of a pirate tag? That is the million dollar question!

Since he took my advice to heart, I am half-thinking of getting him a heart shaped dog tag. Don't tempt me, Bruno!
