Part 3

“You really think Dizzy’s in one of those bags?” Tosh asked, wide-eyed.

“I don’t know, but we’ll have to look.” Ianto’s shoulders slumped. “I only just got this place tidied.”

“I’ll help,” Tosh assured him. “We’ll go through one bag at a time.”

“Thanks, Tosh.”

When they were halfway though, Jack appeared. “What’re you two doing?”

“Dizzy’s gone missing, we’re checking it didn’t get bagged up with the rubbish,” Tosh explained.

Jack grinned. “It didn’t.” He pointed at the tree.

There was Dizzy, dangling amid the tinsel, sound asleep, oblivious to the panic it had caused.

Ianto sighed. “Of course.”

Thanks God for that! well, she is like my cat who sleeps under the xmas tree during the whole month!

You're lucky your cat doesn't sleep halfway UP the tree, lol!

Thank you!

I love Janto

Good they found Dizzy.
Before they made too much of a mess.

Dizzy ate to much and needed a place to sleep it off.

I am getting you're stories in my e-mail.
So I can keep reading, even if you can't answer.

And you can come over here to comment, so it works out! My other readers don't seem to come this way!

Stuffed Flufflet! Hanging from the tree seemed like a good idea at the time. Who knows how the mind of a Flufflet works?

Thank you!

I left comments there also.
May be they don't that you are here.
Or how to answer.

Dizzy is still s baby, It thinks differently.
At least Dizzy was out of the way.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

That's probably why Dizzy decided to nap in the tree. It figured it would be safe up there.

I used to have a link to my LJ on my ff.net profile, but even that's not allowed now. Sometimes I wonder if part of why ff.net don't allow links from other sites is because they don't want people going elsewhere.

Dizzy was right.
Even at a young age Dizzy is smart

I was wondering where it went.
I don't know, if FF keeps breaking down people will leave.

Writers need the comments and the feed back.
I hope that they fix it soon.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

The worst part for me is that I'm still getting the reviews in my email inbox, I can read them, but I can't reply to them. it's maddening!

Dizzy is learning that lying in the middle of the floor is not a good idea, even if you're clearly visible, because people don't always look where they're putting their feet when they're in a hurry. Besides, the tree is nice. It's a good place if you feel like hanging around ;)

Re: I love Janto

I hope FF fixes it soon.
At least you can read what people are thinking.

Dizzy, like Nosy, has been tripped over, a lot.
I can trip over my own two feet.

The tree is nice and big, It is fun for a Fluff to join into the different colors.

Fluffs love to hang around.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

And stepped on!

They really do. Nosy likes hanging from the catwalk railings. Dizzy is small enough to enjoy hanging in the tree.

I haven't checked yet to see if it's fixed, but I'm hoping!

Re: I love Janto

[(Anonymous)]

Being stepped on is not fun.
For either party.

I wonder is that is normal for Fluffs.
It will take a long time for Dizzy to grow up.

I just did, from what I can tell it was not. Yet.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

It wasn't when I checked earlier either. *sigh*

I think it probably is normal for Fluffs. they can't see much from ground level, so climbing up and hanging from things lets them see further. They're quite good climbers.

Re: I love Janto

[(Anonymous)]

At least I can still get you in my e-mail.
That's a good thing.
Saw your note, in bold letters.


Being that low to the ground there is only so much that they can see.
Climbing up high is good, that is one way to see their home from a different angle.

I don't think Myf will let them in her nest.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

I don't know, she likes Nosy so she might.

Climbing up gets you away from predators, if there ARE any that would dare tackle a Fluff, and up high you can get your bearings if you're lost. Helps to see over the top of the grass ;)

Thought I'd better put a note up so people would understand the reason for my my silence.

Re: I love Janto

[(Anonymous)]

Nosy can introduce her to Dizzy. Maybe.
Nosy knows that is Myf's private space.

True, We don't know about Nosy's world. Climbing up is one way to keep safe.

And to see where one is going.

Dizzy was born in Wales, so It is Welsh.
Did anyone buy it a Welsh Dragon stuffy?

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

I'm sure someone will get Dizzy a dragon, probably Tosh or Owen since it's their Flufflet so they're the ones who should be spoiling it rotten.

I'm sure Nosy will wait for Myf to invite it to visit.

Re: I love Janto

[(Anonymous)]

Yes Tosh will.

Nosy does have good manners, and will teach Dizzy.
Better manners than Owen and Gwen.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

Everybody learns from their parent, even a Flufflet!

Owen and Gwen wren't there when manners were handed out.

Re: I love Janto

[(Anonymous)]

Nosy has good manners. When It is around Ianto.
Dizzy will learn from Nosy, Ianto and Tosh.

Owen just doesn't care enough to have manners.
Gwen was somewhere else.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

Owen only has manners when he wants something. Jack has manners when Ianto reminds him. Gwen just expects everyone else to have good manners.

Tosh and Ianto are the best examples to learn from.

Re: I love Janto

[(Anonymous)]

True. On all counts.

Aw! Cutest ornament on the tree. Hope they took lots of pictures.

[bk_forever]

It looked a lot like a bit of tinsel, lol!

I'm sure Tosh took photos. Cute Flufflet being cute!

Thank you!

[owensheart.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, all that work for nothing.

great drabble.

[bk_forever]

Well, the couldn't take chances, lol!"

Thank you!

[raynewton.livejournal.com]

Just once, maybe Ianto should leave the mess and see how long it takes for someone else to do it. On the other hand he has too much pride. Or Tosh could scold them into clearing up their own mess. Glad dizzy was safe. Happy new year to Badly Knitted, all readers, the team and of course, Coat.

[bk_forever]

Happy New Year!

Everyone, including Coat, thanks you for your good wishes and sends hugs.

Ianto is just too OCD to leave a mess, he has to clean.

Dizzy found a good, out of the way place to nap, lol!

Thank you!

[black59.livejournal.com]

I won!!

I knew it was not possible: Ianto would have seen. But, luckily, Zorro / oops Jack arrived !!

For cons, I could not imagine finding the suspended tree as a fluffy garland. He found a spot on. I think he must have known that Ianto-raise and it was better to be free of unwanted waking during removal.

[bk_forever]

You did!

Dizzy likes to nap in strange places. It probably thought the tree would be a safe place because the tinsel looked like sleeping flufflets hanging there. Dizzy is strange, lol!

Thank you!
