Success Is Entirely Due To My Plan

My Welcoming Noises for M were somewhat misunderstood by Her. Came running to see if I was hurt. After a little snack (kindly brought out into My garden) went off and tried some other sounds. Rather more quietly.

NLF thought the noises were delightful and arrived at the gallop to say hello. Good.

TB wandered in and wuffed gently as it always does when thinks approval is called for. Good.

M arrived and sat in its usual spot. Myself welcomed it. No response. Not Good. Tried again. Same result. Thought it didn't understand so made them louder. No response. Definitely Not Good.

TB wuffed. Several times. With same complete lack of response. M just sat and stared. So did everyone else. A motionless period ensued.

NLF finally took matters into its own tiny paws and strolled over. Rubbed its little grey head against M. (Highly foolhardy if you ask Me as We still didn't know what We were dealing with.) But it worked! M rubbed back and stood up and looked entirely friendly. So We all came over. Could have been a tad overwhelming for M but it took it all very calmly and was happy to make friends.

Feel rather sorry for M: Is almost blind and completely deaf. We must do everything We can to ensure it knows it is Among Friends.
