Phoenix: It was huge.
Diablo: Such a waste. We could have had hours of fun chasing that mouse around the condo.
Phoenix: No, I meant the mousetrap. When that metal bar hit the vertebrae I thought it would snap in two. Bloody guts everywhere.
Diablo: Scary.

Alligator
Diablo: What do you think it is?
Phoenix: Could be a rat. They can live in the walls, crawl around the plumbing, emerge under the bathtub, come out of the vents.
Diablo: Could be a mouse.
Phoenix: Nope. It's making too much noise.
Diablo: A raccoon?
Phoenix: Too big to fit behind the wall.
Diablo: A squirrel?
Phoenix: That’s possible. If I could get through that vent…
Diablo: We are lucky she left the door open so we sit in the closet for hours and listen to whatever it is.
Phoenix: I’ve been up all night listening to it scurry around under the tub. I’m going to take a nap. You stand watch.
Diablo: You know…it could be a Gila Monster. I heard they have 'em in Florida.
Phoenix: You mean alligator?
Diablo: Yeah, that too.

Free Running
Diablo: What do you think?
Phoenix: I like the carpet. Good for traction, 'pecially when we are racing around the place.
Diablo: Got to be careful when you come flying through the kitchen. Linoleum.
Phoenix: Yeah and the bathroom too. Tile.
Diablo: We never lived in a place with this much carpet. Not the office, the apartment, the RV or the Big House.
Phoenix: Sure beats trying to run on hard wood.

18 Hours
Diablo: Where are we going?
Phoenix: South.
Diablo: I didn’t think South was this far away.
Phoenix: Two long days in the back of the jeep, sitting on piles of boxes, bags and other thing. It is getting old. This makes RV travel look pretty appealing.
Diablo: We should have been in Tennessee by now.
Phoenix: We aren’t going there.
Diablo: Some place new?
Phoenix: Florida.
Diablo: I kind of like the hotels. The fancy floral bedspreads, the big mirrors, the funny smells...
Phoenix: Just give me the hiding space between the headboard and wall.
Diablo: You know, I don’t think she likes you getting in there.

Bird Watching
Phoenix: What do you see out there?
Diablo: Birds.
Phoenix: You have been sitting there staring out the window for hours.
Diablo: Lots of birds.
Phoenix: You can’t get‘em.
Diablo: I like the red ones.
Phoenix: Cardinals?
Diablo: Yeah, they’re pretty.
Phoenix: Pretty….you mean tasty?
Diablo: Heck if I know. Never tasted one.
Phoenix: Hmmm. I’ll go for the Junco. Fatter. More of them. Better odds.
Diablo: Look at’em. They have all the food they want. Fly over to the feeder, grab a seed. Eat it. Get another. Look at all the seeds on the ground. I wish I was a bird.

Artic Cats
Diablo: Brrrr! I thought my little pads were going to stick to the ground. I think my ears were about to freeze and break off like icicles.
Phoenix: Why would you want to go outside when you can stretch out in the sunshine streaming through the window? By the way, just remember not to stick your nose on a cold metal pole.
Diablo: It never got this cold in Tennessee.
Phoenix: Be thankful you don’t live outdoors.
Diablo: Amen. Let’s go curl up in the sunshine.
Phoenix: I got a better idea. I think our cousin left some food in her bowl.
Diablo: Roger that.
