"Playing fetch"
Pulling up to my parking spot behind the bakery. I placed my truck into park. I jump out and grab the bags from my truck bed. Beau must have heard me because he's already out the door.
"Everything all good here?" I ask. Knowing I would have gotten a call if things weren't.
"Everything is fine. Nova and Eleanor just got done baking some cookies. They just took them upstairs. I was just cleaning up the mess down here." I look around and see he's mostly got it covered.
"I'll finish the rest up." I set the bags down and head for the sink.
"You sure? I don't mind finishing it. It took me some time to get Nova to go away." I chuckle at that. Nova probably fought him about cleaning the mess up herself.
"I'm sure. You go ahead and head back to the clubhouse. See if anyone needs any help over there." He nods and heads out. "Later Beau."
After he locks the door I get started on the mess. There is a mixing bowl, a baking sheet and some wax paper left out. I wash up the dishes and set them up to dry. Then I head to the pantry to put up the wax paper.
I grab my bags and start to head up to the apartment. I instantly hear giggles and shouts of happiness coming from behind the door. I can tell that Eleanor is having the time of her life.
When I opened the door I was met with a complete disaster. The kitchen table has been moved into the living room and turned into a fort. The chairs are on top of the table making the blankets hold better.
"What in the world is going on here?" Nova and Eleanor peak from under the blanket and giggle together. Eleanor climbs from under the fort and runs towards me.
"Hey uncle Madz! Is that chocolate milk!" Eleanor screams and jumps up and down. She's had way too much sugar but that's okay. She will just crash later on tonight.
"Hey pipsqueak. What are you doing here?" I hear a meow and look down and notice Shortcake climbing my pant leg. Bending over I grab the little fucker from ripping my legs up.
"Oh uncle Madz. I've been having so much fun and little Shortcake is soooo cute. I love her so much. Do you think she can have some of my chocolate milk? I could share with her." With that Nova crawls out and shakes her head no.
"Chocolate milk is for you, not the kitten. It would upset her tummy or make her really sick. We don't want that, do we?" Nova says.
"I didn't know that but I'm glad you told me. I don't want to make Shortcake sick. Look uncle Madz! We taught Shortcake a trick." With that Eleanor runs over to the couch and grabs a toy mouse.
Eleanor chucks the mouse and Shortcake goes after it as quick as can be. Little paws sliding all over the kitchen floor. "So you taught a cat how to play fetch huh." I replied.
