Stripey Brings A Gift

Stripey has a pair of doll slippers that she finds and brings me, and she makes a distinctive yowl when she brings them. So I am working and she says MRAOURR and comes down the hall with..a rope? No, a snake...jeez, Stripey, stick to shoes, ok? We keep welding gloves in the hall closet for occasions like this, so the "present" was taken outside and put in the woodpile. Stripey was annoyed.
