A Tail of Two Brave Women

Meows from Mudpie! 

We had a little excitement here late Monday night that was traumatic at the time, but now we find it hysterical.

Around 11 each night Mommy fixes herself a cup of a tea and a sweet snack to have while watching the late local news. I have half of a squeezie at the same time. 

It all happened really fast but as Mommy walked into the living room from the kitchen she noticed something dark zoom across the rug - a house centipede with elebenty billion legs - and it was racing right towards me! 

She dropped her snack and started screaming. I started running from it, stopping every few feet to look behind me to see if it was still following me. Finally I bailed for the kitchen, leaving Mommy to handle the situation alone. Thank Cod the threat was neutralized quickly. 

Once I dared to venture back into the living room and Mommy finished consoling me, she couldn't stop laughing. She wishes we had a security camera that could've captured the whole thing for posterity. It might've even made it to America's Funniest Home Videos! Talk about a pair of brave women! 

(A few years ago Mommy had a similar encounter with a centipede at the back door while feeding Mo late one night. She was screaming so much while trying to catch it that Grandpa said if our neighbor had her window opened she probably thought Mommy was being murdered!)
