The Day With Dukee And Mia

Birthdays

“That looks pretty doesn't it?” Mia said as she watched the gold streamer slightly move from the fan.

“Yes, it is sparkly isn't it?” Dukee said while looking up at it.

“I like birthdays. Birthdays can be fun,” Mia said as she looked at Dukee.

“It was nice of my mom to decorate for your mom don't you think?” Dukee asked Mia.

“Yes, it was… Do you think that we'll get some nip because of my mom's birthday?” Mia asked.

Dukee cocked his head as he looked at Mia, “you want catnip on your mom's birthday?”

“Sure, that's our way of celebrating, right?” Mia said.

Dukee thought for a moment, “that's true but I'm not sure that's appropriate.”

“Yeah, I guess you're right,” Mia got up and faced away from Dukee.

Dukee moved a little to see where Mia went, “why are you laying that way? You're not mad because of what I said are you?”

Mia laid there in silence.

“I'm sure if your mom doesn't mind, Auntie will give us some catnip,” Dukee said.

Mia smiled to herself and then said, “I'm just letting the sun warm up my backside.”

“Oh sure you are,” Dukee said and then laid back down on the seat.

“Let's try and make my momma’s birthday special,” Mia said.

“Well, what do you want to do?” Dukee asked.

“We can be real good and not get into things that we're not supposed to. And give her lots of kisses,” Mia explained.

“So, not getting into mischief was meant for me, wasn't it?” Dukee asked.

“Um, not necessarily,” Mia giggled.

“Well, I don't give kisses,” Dukee said.

The two of them thought for a few minutes and finally came up with an idea.

“I know what we can do,” Dukee hopped down and walked over to Mia.

“What are you doing?” Mia asked as she backed her head away.

“It’s okay, hold still,” Dukee said and then whispered in Mia’s ear.

“Oh, that's a great idea, after all it is Wednesday,” Mia said.

“Yes it is. So are you ready?” Dukee asked her.

Mia got into position as well as Dukee.

“Hap, hap,” they both said and stopped.

“What did you stop for?” Dukee asked.

“Because we need to say it together,” Mia said.

“Okay, on the count of three,” Dukee said.

“What does that mean?”Mia asked.

“I don't really know, it's just the way I've heard humans say it,” Dukee said.

“Hmm,” Mia said and thought for a moment.

“I got it. When I flick my tail, we say it together,” Mia looked back at Dukee.

“Okay, let's give it a shot,” Dukee said and got ready.

Mia flicked her tail, “happy birthday momma.”

Mia noticed that she didn't hear Dukee when she said it. She turned around and looked at Dukee.

“Why didn't you say happy birthday with me?” Mia asked.

“Because I just realized that this is a written story. It doesn't matter if we say it together but as long as we say it,” Dukee said and then snickered.

Mia started to giggle, “oh, we are silly aren't we?”

Dukee and Mia laughed about it for a couple of minutes. Then they both settled down so they could say happy birthday nicely. In the picture below is a nice tribute to Mia’s mom and Dukee’s Aunt.

“Enjoy your day, we love you,” Mia and Dukee said.

Until next time, Dukee and Mia hope that you have a wonderful day as well.
