Unauthorized Birthday Pilgrimage

Hi G-Fans...

Riley here.  Everyone is sleeping right now so I am the designated blogger by default.  Would you like to know why they are all asleep?  Sleeping before cookie time?  Because today is a special day.  Today is the day they all decided to take their annual birthday pilgrimage to the bog, unescorted and hardly planned.  I stayed behind because someone needed to tell the humans what was going on since the other family members didn't think they should take the time to leave a message.  Instead, out they scooted  from the gate which somehow mysteriously was open.  So I waited (I also hoped to score some extra cookies and dinner).  It was very quick between the excursion departure and the discovery of the missing bodies.  So the humans went into high gear search mode.  I was safely returned to the inner sanctum and out the humans went to find the revelers.  One human returned pretty quickly and started making things that made my tongue drippy.  The other human (my favorite, but don't tell anyone) was gone longer.  But, was back with the smelly troops in time for dinner (although, because of the baths, it was served a bit late).  Now, Tessa, Raphael and Bertie smell like shampoo.  Thankfully, Grace smells like herself.  (She is really my favorite.) Rumor has it that Harry was left out accidentally on purpose.  The gate may have been available for egress all day while Harry was hanging here, but no one said anything.  They waited until he was home napping and went off without him.  He is really pissed that they did that.  He found out at dinner time that the pilgrimage happened and he wasn't included.  This is the first year he was ditched.  He swears he won't start choir practice on time for a few weeks as payback.  We'll see.  And, I didn't get any extra cookies, but I did get some big body hugs and nice things were said to me.  So, it is all good. 

Balance has been restored to the kingdom once again.

We even got to smell apple pie tonight while the humans ate dinner.

So, all in all, an exciting day with no horrific outcomes.

Yay!

I think I will go find a bare arm or knee to lick in celebration!

Glad we could share.

Be safe and make sure you have a designated homebody to alert others to trouble on the home-front if needed.  I'd do it, but I am already taken.

Bye from me.

Snagglepus and I are conversing about the state of affairs and how some people get a little too excited when the fence perimeter is breached.  Snagglepus knows all about that!
