Dukee hopped down from the litter box cabinet and walked into the family room. Auntie walked out of their bedroom and asked him if he wanted to go outside. She walked with him over to the sliding glass door and let him out onto the screened porch. Dukee saw movement by the screened porch door and ran over to it. A small lizard moved outside on the screen by the downspout. He reached up, touched the screen and the lizard moved out of sight.
“I got you the other day lizard, I can get you again,” Dukee walked away.
Dukee laid down on the small rug that was out there and watched for the lizard. Just then a large bird flew down onto the grass in the yard. He crept up to the bottom part of the screen, and slowly peeked out at the bird. The bird walked around and pecked at the ground.
“Here birdie birdie,” Dukee said.
Just like that, the bird flew away and Dukee walked back over to the rug.
Mia was looking out the front window and saw a big bird fly and land in the front yard. It walked around and looked around. Mia just watched it until it walked onto the road and flew away. She hopped down onto the floor, looked up at Mom as she walked past her chair, and walked into the hallway. Auntie at the same time went to the sliding glass doors to see if Dukee wanted back in.
As Auntie opened the door, Dukee walked in and saw Mia as she trotted into the family room. Mia stopped in front of the entertainment center, and Auntie went back into her room.
“Anything going on out there?” Mia looked at Dukee.
“Not really… saw a lizard, and then a big bird landed on the ground and flew off,” Dukee walked over to Mia.
“I saw a big bird too, it landed in the front yard and walked around,” Mia said.
“I wonder if it was the same bird… Was it black?” Dukee asked.
“Yes, it was,” Mia licked her paw.
“Huh, it probably was then,” Dukee walked towards his bedroom.
Mia went to her bedroom while Dukee went into his. Auntie was watching television while she lay on the bed. Dukee nibbled at his food and, then laid down on the rug to play with his toy. It was a catnip toy so he started to feel silly and roll around.
Mia was in her bedroom playing with her toy and jumped up and around on the bed. I guess it was independent playtime for both of them.
