I'm Starting to Enjoy...

...all the positive attention.

For the past couple of nights, the Mom has been insistent on me sleeping on her pillow. I had been spending most of my time in the closet. Why? Well, the Mom has lots of really long dresses whose bottoms puddle on the floor so I can curl up in a ball in all that fabric. It's warm, dark, quiet, and most importantly no Brats. But now I have to humor the Mom and sit on her pillow until she falls asleep. Then I sneak back into the closet.

Then again, the pillow bit isn't a bad deal. The Mom lavishes me in pets and good scritches and occasionally she has a treat. Like last night she gave me a piece of hot dog. I haven't had that in ages. It made the Mom happy to see me eating so we were both pleased. But honestly, if me eating makes her happy, I'm more than willing to oblige.

How am I doing? I'm having my good days and bad days, but that's more to do with this girl's old joints and the weather than my cancer. The other day was just yucky with the rain and the cold and everything hurt. Yesterday and today, though, were nice and warm. At least now I can move around without aching.

Thanks again for all your well wishes, purrs, hugs, and prayers!

Hot dog is good. So is pets and scritches from Mom in bed. Lap it all up, Ayla. I'm glad you have a brat-free zone to nap in. Keep on having those good days.

You ate a piece of DOG???

:::bows to the awesome one:::

I've never had the guts. We had a dog, but I was pretty sure if I took a bite out of him he'd put the royal smack down on me, being that he was 120 pounds of fur...

Your human sounds a lot like mine when she is dealing with Georgia. Georgia too loves the closet and to hide and it drives the woman mad, wanting to give her attention.

I think you guys have this figured out.

The rainy days are hard on our old lady G too. So we totally understand. I hope the weather changes so that you can really enjoy yourself without the creaks.

We are sure sorry to hear that you got bit by cancery things. We'll have to watch out for those. They sound bad.

But we are glad to hear that you are gettin treats. We've never had "hot dog" but it would be innerestin to put the bitey on any kind of dog! An that you are gettin more scritches and pillow time. But we unnerstand about closets. They are good. too.
