Extra Cuddly
Since Persia settled down (after letting me properly know she was ****ed off
at my leaving her in that smelly place for 7 days), she's become extra cuddly. Clingy, even. Last night I was awakened several times with my side being kneaded (maybe she wanted me to get up and make bread or something). My lips have been kissed, my chin licked and gently nipped and she won't let me leave the room without following. Last night I took a bath and she sat on the edge of the tub and chattered at me even more than usual. Normally she only wants in my lap when I'm reading this group every once in a while. Now she's not even politely tapping me to ask for an invitation (which she knows I'll grant); she's just jumping up and curling up in my lap. I think she senses I'm going to send her to that smelly place again in a mere 12 days. I need to make sure I've got the suitcase completely re-packed well before then so it doesn't disturb her. The problem with that is, the seasons are changing and I have no idea if I'll need clothes for warm weather or cooler weather. We'll be in Highland, Illinois 10/6-10/12. It's not far from St. Louis. If anyone lives in the area and has any seasonal packing suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying Persia's extra playfulness (aka the USPS "box" and snuggles! Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

Thanks, Pat. I don't know anyone I'd trust with a key, let alone live-in for a week. The vet staff takes good care of her, she just gets understandably upset. I had a bad experience with one of my brothers a number of years back. I was going to be away for a couple of weekends (not a full week) in a row on business. All he needed to do was walk my little old dog Saturday evening and Sunday morning and make sure he had fresh food and water. I came home to find he hadn't done a damn thing. The dog had his legs crossed and no food. And I was *paying* him. Wound up not paying him, of course. Gotta love some family. I'll pack lightly but put a sweater in the suitcase just in case. Jill |
