A Most Curious Sign of Curiosity

I'll admit it:  I'm not a great housekeeper.  Having a shedding pet in the house will mean I have to step up my game, since dust bunnies (and dog hair bunnies) reproduce at a rate much faster than real bunnies do.  I confess that I didn't inherit my mom's cleaning gene.  You could eat off her floors ... mine don't even qualify for the 3-second rule.

Anyway, the point I'm going for is that even though I know I tend to let things go longer than maybe I should, I know for a fact that the smudges on the window over by Mojo's eating station weren't there last week.  And I know nose prints when I see them.

Somebody's got his eye on the backyard!  What's he watching ... the grey cat that has started hanging around lately?  The squirrels who run up and down the maple tree?  Those stupid moles (or are they voles) who are turning our yard into Swiss Cheese (and shouldn't the cat be doing something about that)?

Whatever is catching his attention, the point is, he's paying attention!  He's never made a sound for us, but does he bark at the critters outside the window when we're not home?  It's sort of like that old riddle about the tree falling in the forest:  When no one's here to listen, does Mojo make a sound?
