Tessa, newly minted Guarder of All Toys, glares at someone. But who? Some sneaky cat coming to get a whiff of a stripy ball or plastic ring? How dare they! Nothing like a good old Tessa glare to change that plan. But who gets the glare today?
Was it Pia?
Was it Pia coming to take a purple catnip pillow or feather ball? Pia can be awfully stealthy, especially with her thick underpaw fur. She’s a quiet as an ant.
Was it Quint and his quiet ways? He could sneak a toy out of the toy boxes under watchful eyes at exactly the right moment and you’d never see it happen. Quint has great timing that way.
Was it Viola who was hard at work all summer long learning the ways of The Tessa Glare, and coming along nicely, if we do say so ourselves.
Yes, it was I, but not to nab a toy. I wanted to give my big sister a taste of her own glare. Dad says I don’t quite have The Look yet because of my age but I’m getting there!
Wishing Viola and all Niblets near and far a very Happy 11th Birthday today. Sending kisses on the winds to find you all. And another million kisses to you, sweet Viola. Happy Birthday!

Tessa, at least you don’t pull toys out and drag them to lay at the human’s feet!
Our Manny does that, then sits there for so long that someone will pick it up so he can play.
sheesh
