20 December


In principle, it could go on like this. I get on well with the weakling. (Well, I’ve shown him a few times, but it wasn’t that bad). When I get up in the morning, he’s already awake. He greets me with: „Good morning, sir!“ Good dog …


Today we start decorating our house. This dog is really excited! He jumps, turns in circles and scurries around – all because of the garlands! Mannoo … The little lights are pretty, I have to admit. He asks if these little pearls taste good? Let him find out for himself. And what did the daedl do? He bit right into them! There was a bang and the power went out in the whole house.


Now I know what that means: „His hair stands on end“. This Rambo is actually quite fluffy. Melinda was angry and punched him in the face. Now he’s sitting in the wardrobe and shaking. And we’re waiting for the electrician …


Today we’re having a candlelit dinner. I’ve always wanted to do that, it immediately creates a romantic atmosphere. Rambo doesn’t want to eat dinner, he murmurs quietly: „The light thinks it spreads faster than everything else, but it’s wrong. No matter how fast the light spreads, it realises that the darkness is always there first, waiting for it.“ I’m starting to worry about him …

Quite a clever chap, actually. Where did he read Pratchett? It’s not that important. I brought him the Bible. Susi always prays when I’ve done something wrong. It’s supposed to help him.


The electrician was there. He fiddled around with our power box. He said there was a problem with the wiring and he could solve it with clamps. I gave him a few terminals. Why is he shouting like that? Never seen such a clever cat, eh? The electrician is screaming, Rambo is shaking, Melinda is getting annoyed again, Susi is praying quietly … Tomorrow we’ll put up the Christmas tree together!
