Gardeners Rest #19 (2024)

[Snoop Puss]

Miz Spelling stomped out.

Snoop grabbed her wreath, dried kippers and all, from the display and enticed the furballs outside. Even though the kittens would be useful in deterring the rodents attracted by the mince pie crumbs, worsened by the teeny-tiny bites that looked suspiciously like fairy toothmarks in the pies in the tree, it might be better if Miz Spelling didn't see them just now.

And I suppose if I do get peckish, I could always nibble on a dry kipper seeing as the fridge has been removed from my room so I've got none of those dinky packets of peanuts or mini KitKats."

She studiously avoided looking at the fairy as she made her way past the tree and made her way upstairs somewhat forlornly...
