The Exploding Chair

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Oh, uh, hi Mommy. Are you home from work already? What chair? Oh, that chair. Well, you see, Mommy, I was just sitting here minding my own business and it just kinda’ exploded. There’s Ludwig. He was watching from the top of the Victrola. Ask him!

(A few minutes later, after everyone returned from pottying.)

You can probably put it back together, Mommy. There’s some of it over there.And some of it over there.

You didn’t think I could do anything naughty with the cone on my head? Well, that’ll teach you. And I have to stay in my kennel tomorrow like I used to before the cone without ice cream?  *mumbles* I can’t help it if chairs explode.

  1. Apparently your real relaxation is working on upholstery. I’m sure doing that work is like therapy!

  10. OMD…We bet you got one of those “alien cones”. You know…the kind from another planet that make you do things you would NEVER do if they weren’t connected to you!

    Or maybe, maybe it was an “alien chair”, that explodes whenever the Mamas leave!!

    Darn aliens fault either way!

  16. I’ve seen them explode before, Xena! It is kinda scary cause all at once the arms pop and the stuffing just throws itself in the air. Must be a special chair…I’d throw it away, bad vibes,I’d say.

  22. You must be some kind of voodoo genius magician illusionist, X! When I wore the cone all I could manage was bumping into walls, falling over my own feet, and getting stuck behind the big chair in the living room. You’re my idol!

  27. I have to agree with you, Xena! Dougy works on furniture for months before there’s any alarming signs he’s been at it. That looks like a one time effort on your part! Bravo!

  31. I think that’s why Mommy held her mouth open in a big “O” so long, so she didn’t say those words. Although I did hear “What the H-E-L-L.” (She didn’t spell it, but I’m not allowed to say it out loud.) ~Xena

  32. I totally believe you sweet friend. All of the pillows on our new couch exploded one day when mom was at work. I saw them. Of course Houdini saw them too cause he was on the couch. There was so much snow everywhere. Of course we can’t repeat the words that came out of mom’s mouth when she got home. They weren’t very southern lady like – snorts and rolls with piggy laughter.

  41. How did you know Mommy held her breath when she walked in the door and saw the chair? Her mouth was also hanging open until she saw a flying bug and clamped it shut.

    Warriors do require to hone their terrierfying skillz, though Xena… or it could be that you were trying to reach the itchy spot through the chair’s arm-extension… crikey i just thought, this is what your skin could look like if you weren’t wearing the ice-cream-less cone; OMD that was not a good mind flash!!! Yeechh… no. Maybe, on reflection, the kennel is a good choice for now. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  47. Dougy the Persian kitty boy likes to see what’s inside furniture, too. He’s inspected (destroyed) a settee, an ottoman, and is working on a couch. Of course, carpets and cat trees get special attention. “Kittens for Dummies” gave lots of good advice on stopping the inspection habit, but, clearly, I missed something in the reading! It starts early, and here’s proof of it:

  50. Oh dear. Maybe it was S.O.D. Someotherdoggy. He used to visit us all the time before Jasper went to the Bridge. He is a very naughty dog and gets all good dogs into all kinds of trouble that is not their doing.
