Sometimes you have to pause and take stock of your situation. After yesterday’s escalation by our captor, we decided to try and make our lives a little more comfortable while we can. The grass in the yard is comfortable enough for me to lie on when there is not another option, but for my poor friend the flat surface is torture.

She explained that in the past she has been able to find comfort in a curved surface such as a chair or a soft pillow, so we continued the excavation of a hole dug for a diversion tactic in the hopes of making do. It seems to have worked, and our captor did not instantly destroy it upon finding it. For a moment I felt he cared for us, but I am sure this cannot be true.

Today we have a lady firefighter ready for work and play - though I’m not sure the jaws of life are a great way of holding a hot dog 🙂

The Grand Diversion

It was a good plan, possibly even great, but without teamwork great plans mean nothing. I know now that it was my fault, letting the stress of the situation get the better of me, but I’m young and can’t always help myself.

The day was spent working on two fronts - the diversion and our real goal.

First the diversion - a continuation of the dig along the northern boundary - we made sure to make as much mess as possible in the little time we had so that our captor would focus his attention on this. It worked, for when he returned from whatever he does while he abandons us to our thoughts, all he noticed was the dirt and spent some time outside cleaning it up.

Today’s pieces are some food to share with the family over the holiday period!

Today’s set works in concert with a previous set, giving our minifigs somewhere to sit while they share food 🙂

A fine imperial ship, ready for battle!

Dark times ahead for the prisoners of the bog. After yesterday’s escape, security patrols have increased exponentially. Our captor has not left us alone for more than a scant few minutes since dawn. He normally leaves us during the day, but I fear he may never do so again.

As happened after my successful breaching of the northern fence, security mesh has been imported from some horrible place; an attempt to limit our ability to escape his foul ghetto once more. While it hasn’t been installed yet, it can only mean trouble and delays for our cause. It will never stop us though, because our paws are mighty and our hearts are strong!

A fine table for the family to share their xmas cheer!
