Susan! This Parcel is Mine!

It’s mine!

Photograph by Susan Alison

We’ve had Royal Mail postal strikes so a lot of mail has been delayed. Our Christmas stuff has just started to filter through.

Including this parcel from the States addressed to ‘Susan and Jack Alison’.

PupperJack immediately knew it was for him.

How does he do that? How could he possibly know it was for him?

Photograph by Susan Alison

Just gotta get into it. Rip it a bit. Bite it. Tear it. Attack! Throw it about.

Blimmin’ thing isn’t giving up its goods that easily.

Photograph by Susan Alison

Oh, yeah — here we are. Here’s the prize. MY prize. PupperJack’s prize.

Gonna call it Squidge.

Squidge the Squeakiness.

Photographs by Susan Alison

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

That’s a very loud squeak.

Very, very loud.

Photographs by Susan Alison

Kill! Kill! Damn thing won’t kill!

Squeak! Shriek! Lie down, Squidge!

Photograph by Susan Alison

It’s down. Finally. Defeated and silent.

PupperJack is triumphant.

Susan is deafened by the loudest squeakiness a squeaky toy could possibly possess.

Photograph by Susan Alison

Squidge had to be hidden away to prevent further episodes of hideous screaming and hysterical squidgy screechings. Not to mention PupperJack’s banshee contribution to the racket.

PupperJack then spent some time running around woofing for Squidge.

Photograph by Susan Alison

Finally, he gave up and became sad.

(No worries. A bone soon cheered him up.)

He can have Squidge back next time the weather allows us into the garden. He can have it out there. The neighbourhood will be delighted at the racket, I have no doubt.

(Thank you so much, Michelle, for Squidge. PupperJack is absolutely chuffed!)
