Animal Kingdom

We have these really great sleeping places that our human companions got for us! They are just the right size and shape and verrry comfortable. We had them moved by the places where we can watch all the other creatures around our home. Every day we see things that fly around in the air or climb in the trees. It is fun to watch them and try to chase them, but we can't ever catch them because there are these hard things between us and them! Too bad! Some look like better food than we often get!
Our humans want to say something now. Too bad, but its time to sleep some more now anyway.
The Z's do spend a lot of time looking out the windows and there are crows, pigeons, squirrels, monkeys, kites and green parakeets regularly in view. One picture shows a green parakeet hanging from a mango tree out one side of the apartment. Another picture shows a large predator bird- we think a Kite- resting on top of a neighbor's water tank. They had us put two stools in front of a couple of the windows so they can watch in great comfort... and they sleep there a lot too!
The monkeys come by about once a week. They are very cute when young and swing all around in the trees. However, when they get older, they are not so cute and they could be a threat to the Z's, so we try to chase them away when they come on the balcony.
Ziggy likes to get inside any bags that come into the apartment. Today, our driver brought a carpenter to hang some pictures we bought and had framed very inexpensively. As is usual, the guy came ill prepared to do the task. He brought the right tools, which is a very good start, but he did not bring any hooks or wire or screws suitable to the task. He is also replacing glass in a kitchen cabinet that broke in a little accident about a month ago, but the new glass was much too small, even though he measured. We had to keep asking him to measure carefully and as the day proceeds, he seems to be doing better. It seems not to be a concern if things are "off" a little, and he seems not to mind if he has to do it over again. Time is cheap. This is a theme we see often among people doing tasks. If its not right, just do it over. This is very expensive at home, but not here. Ziggy climbed inside the carpenter's tool bag, and we got a nice picture of that, but for some reason the blog won't let us add it.
