Ice! I want Ice in my water!

It's still pretty hot here. I've been waking up my staff person early so she can let me outside. Like this morning I started about 3:45. For some reason she wasn't all that happy about it and refused to get up. Finally she got up around 6 but wouldn't let me out...she kept saying something about it still being dark outside. SO??? I didn't get to go out until it got light, so I sulked around for a bit, but then forgot I was supposed to be sulking and ran for the door when she opened it.

Because it's so hot, I'm perfectly willing to come back in before it gets too warm. When staff person goes to get herself some ice water and scoops around in the ice bin, I go barreling into the kitchen whining and she'll drop a couple of cubes in my water dish. Ummm! Nice cool water! It's even better than the stuff that comes out of the bathroom sink! I've also been laying in front of the boxy thing a lot too. She took a picture of me, but darn if that box thing doesn't make me look fat! Being a manx though, I'm perfectly roundly shaped and weigh just what I should. Staff person has educated even the helper folks at the vet's because they think I'm fat too. She tells them to stand over me when I'm standing on the floor and notice how my torso curves inwards towards my hips - that means I'm perfect. Was there really any doubt? Then she tells 'em to look up manx cats on the internet. I'm going to put the picture in anyway, 'cos, you know, it's of me.
