Oh, boy, what can’t we females do? A story in today’s NYT touched me very deeply, because mama and I are always discussing why anthros can’t get along with one another even though they are from other countries and cultures, especially if they are from different backgrounds (!), and this story says it all. Just imagine how it feels when you are getting your hair cut or coifed and there is someone next to you who is happy to have a little conversation or get your opinion or whatever, and how the beauty parlour (or the hair shop, as my delightful-with-words friend calls it) is actually a place where an awful lot of activity goes on that could lead into friendships.
Our friend, Anne (Mya’s mama), has stories about the hair shop in New Orleans where all of her mother’s friends and mother went and when their hair was up in curlers or foils and they had some time to wait for a comb out, they all traipsed next door to the corner bar and had a drink (one of them fell off the bar stool, I think, but that was rare–at least they were having fun together instead of making war!).
So next time your get your hair done or shop in your corner grocery or see a neighbour in the yard, say hello and chat a bit. This stuff spreads around, you know. And I take these lessons to heart. One of my best-est friends, Mya, is a DOGGY!
She wants to play!
She wants me to chase a bone with her.
Do I want to chase a BONE?
Okay, we chased the bone, and boy, am I BEAT! Wish we had been hanging at the hair shop instead.
Or the bar…
Loulou you amaze me, playing bone chase with Mya. You earned the nap.
I think I answered you from my email, but thank you for your comments.
That is a good idea. I always start conversations in the cat food aisle at the grocery store- I know cat lovers are good people.
What a great idea! Mama sometimes gets hung up in the olive oil aisle!!! Which is which, what’s organic, what’s the difference, etc? Now I’ll mention that the CAT FOOD AISLE is far more important!
Rest well before you go bone chasing with Mya. That’s hard work. 🙂
That doggy came over last night again and I tried to share my nip toy with her and she looked totally baffled so I sauntered off and ignored her. That’ll teach her.
MOL Oh LouLou, dat’s a great idea, but me thinks it would take more than a ole dry bone fur me to play chase. MOL But Mya is a cutey so maybe we could play get da peeps to give us treats. MOL Mommy doesn’t go to da beauty shop. She says they be too spensive and since she used to have a license herself she does her own hair. Enjoy dat well deserved rest.
Luv ya’

Mama only started going a few years ago and she is not a spring chicken, haha!!! Now she does her own, too, but I’ll bet your mommy does better work. Is she open to questions sometimes?
