The Day With Dukee And Mia

Understanding the night life

Mia was in the front of the house cleaning her fur on her side when Dukee walked toward her.

“What were you doing last night?” Mia asked.

Dukee looked at her, “What do you mean?”

“Well each time I fell back to sleep, I heard you meow,” Mia said as Dukee laid down near her.

Dukee looked at Mia and thought, “oh, I don't know. I was just roaming the house and I felt like meowing. But, I must have woke my mom up too because she got up each time and said something to me about it. I didn't mean to wake everyone up, but sometimes I just can't help myself.”

“Well, I understand the want to play during the night but you don’t need to meow so loudly,” Mia said and then licked the top of her paw.

“I understand, but I can’t help that my voice is naturally loud. I'm sorry that I kept waking you though,” Dukee said.

Mia glanced up at Dukee to acknowledge him but then continued to clean her paw.

Mia stopped licking and said, “you also don't want to continue to irritate your mom either.”

Dukee yawned, “yes, that's true. But for some reason lately I enjoy being up at night. I didn't realize how quiet it is at night.”

“Yes, quiet until you meow,” Mia said.

Dukee snickered, “sorry. I know now why you sleep a lot during the day though,” Dukee yawned again.

“Yes, sometimes if I stay up too late, I'm more tired and need more naps. But I try and keep my mom entertained during the day too and stay up as long as I can,” Mia explained.

“Yeah, I can see that. Well, I guess I will go and see what Auntie is doing. Maybe I'll take a nap too,” Dukee snickered as he got up.

Mia got up too and walked into the living room. She suddenly felt a little hungry and wanted a snack before breakfast. After a few nibbles here, I'll go wake up mom and hopefully get my breakfast, Mia thought.

Dukee walked into his bedroom and saw his mom working on her computer. He stopped and looked up at her. His mom looked at him, patted the bed, and motioned him to come up there. Dukee thought that it might be a good idea to hang out with her. After all, she might have to work again one of these days.

Until next week, Mia and Dukee want to wish you all a wonderful day.
