The Tibetan Monks are Calling & They Want their Nun Back

After receiving his official title and Tibetan Terrier breed championship this past spring, Ascot Gold Cup, better known as Captain Kody, has been back to causing mischief, demanding long walks and ensuring that nap time remains a sacred part of the day.

Most recently, I have found Captain Kody in a most precocious position in my bedroom window. Usually his perch for examining the comings and goings of our street, I am not sure just what Kody's new "holy appearance"  now means for me and my family.

At first I truly believed nunzilla had come to visit me in the middle of the night. Then I saw this mane of hair creating jagged edges around the shadows of a hooded figure in my window.
I gripped my quilt in fear -- nunzilla had not come to visit.
No, Nunzilla had come to kill  me that night!

Upon a more scrupulous, yet cautious investigation, I discovered that the hooded figure sitting quietly in my window was none other than the usually playful sprite, Captain Kody. 

I am not certain why he is being drawn towards the meditative life of being a nun. I do not understand the appeal of his new, polychromatic headgear he puts on. I have desperately tried to explain to him that though his intentions may be good and he now holds "champion" status, the convent will not readily accept him anytime soon.  

Nevertheless, day after day, I find a contemplative, hooded Kody in my window. And every night, nunzilla waits patiently to attack.
