Meow,

My name is Pebbles and you might have read about my recent privilege of being named Employee of the Month at Lake Tahoe On Line. Well, let me tell you what REALLY happened on that fateful Sunday night.

One of the two legs had set up this platform; I think they call it a table and I had jumped up there to play with the string. This string is pretty cool because every time I pull on it, the room gets brighter. (Human translation, there is a string attached to the OPEN sign which Pebbles jumps up on to play with the string and turns the OPEN sign on and off.)

Meow,

Well, as I am sure that you are aware of that mice really aren’t that bright; actually they are just as dumb as cat litter they smell as bad too. I was up on the platform playing with the string making the room brighter and then darker for a few moments, because well that is what I do. Well that little rodent got mesmerized by the light going on, off, on, off, on, off and I just waited till he was hypnotized by my skill of string pulling and that is when I pounced.

Meow,

Sadly as I am sure that you are aware there are no 911 calls for rodents. The little bugger had a heart attack and well he just keeled right over there on the spot. I did my best to bring him back from the Choir Invisible, but…I think that I putting my teeth into him really didn’t do a whole lot to bring him back to the living. He as they say was an ex-rodent.

Meow,

So, you see the salmon really didn’t have a lot to do with it, it was more just a chance moment in time and the natural superiority of cats over rodents. (By the way, don’t tell that huge fur ball of a dog, Pagan? That she is not the most loveable creature in the shop, I’m hearing people tell each other how cute I am so I’m thinking pretty soon I’ll be let out and that hair factory of a dog will be left at home.

Meow,
Pebbles

Why Lake Tahoe On Line says you need a cat:

As many of you know that have been to our Truckee Airport Office we offer chocolate to our customers. It is in a big jar next to the printer. Well recently a field mouse has come into our office and has been helping himself or herself to the chocolate. Which of course our customers and LTOL do not really like as we want to eat the chocolate ourselves and are not really all that much about sharing with a rodent.

We also host for the Tahoe Truckee Humane Society (shameless plug, their website is www.hstt.org and see the cute critters they have to adopt.) We have hosted about 5 cats now and all but Pebbles have been adopted. Pebbles is the cutest all black cat ever, snuggles you, really what she wants is a home that she can find some sunlight to sleep in, cuddle in your lap while you are on the internet, and just be a cute house cat.

We have also found out that Pebbles is a Mouser. Darren, the Sr Tech here at LTOL suggested that we let the cat out during the evening hours to scare away the mouse. We were under the impression that with all the construction in the area, winter coming on, and that we leave the garage door open that is how the mouse got into the building. Well, after Veronica (The owner) gave Pebble salmon? Well, Pebbles decided that she liked salmon and she was willing to do anything to keep getting it. So, Sunday night, Oct 1st-Oct 2nd morning Pebble tracked down the mouse and left it for Darren and Veronica to find first thing in the morning when they arrived at work.
Today, Oct 2nd? Pebbles is the Employee of the Month at Lake Tahoe On Line. All of you that want to congratulate Pebbles on her new found standing just stop by LTOL between 9-5 to give her a pet.
