Mary Jo pretty much always has the same expression.
when she is sprawled out behind my office chair - (yea, the one with wheels): blah!
when I come down stairs in the morning and say hello to her: blah!
the sound of the garage door / front door / or any stinkin door opening: blah!
even when she hears the meat drawer in the refrigerator open
(admittedly she does get a getty-up in her step but otherwise): blah!
(admittedly she does get a getty-up in her step but otherwise): blah!
very little excites her,
except on the rare occasion when Ike walks by
and something inside her compels her to reaches out and smack him,
otherwise she is pretty monotone.
I would be concerned that she might be depressed,
but the reality is she is just old.
She has reached the age where nothing gets a rise out of her;
she says and does what she damn well pleases
(including deliberately situating herself in the hall to block Binx's avenue to food/water/toilet).
Mary Jo is a confirmed Senior Citizen
and frankly my darling,
she doesn't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks.
yea, even the mention of rat: blah!
Grumpy or not, she's gorgeous!!

DeleteI have one of those old bats at home too named Maggie. At 17, nothing phases her. I think they have earned it though. ;)
ReplyDeleteBlah! That's a great expression to describe her. But I think she is a beauty in her old age...
ReplyDeleteThat first shot just made me laugh....what a face!
ReplyDeleteI guess she's earned it....We'll probably be the same way when we are that old....She is a beauty in her old age...
ReplyDeleteI think you captured her grumpiness beautifully.
