Qi Ji was extra hyper yesterday morning, zooming rapidly around the yard up & down trees. He did the same trick that he's done countless times twirling on the one branch of the tree near the patio. But it was the last time because the branch broke & he fell! It seemed he was unharmed, maybe slightly flustered. As he proceeded with his rolling bouts, he came across the black tubby & began attacking it. Our valiant warrior repeatedly rolled down hill as he battled & mangled that tubby. When he defeated his foe, he was off zipping around the yard again.
A keeper was hosing off the patio, and Qi Ji stopped by for a splash. He was startled when his head got sprayed, and was off again, zipping round the yard climbing trees & rolling everywhere. Finally the banquet hall was prepared & Qi Ji retired indoors for a munch. Papa Tian was next door eating first his biscuits, then he actually ate his carrots. Mama Mei was flipping the burlap sack outside before she came inside to chow down on her yummy apple.
