Oh, my aching back...
What a good nurse Little Feet is. He should graduate cum laude from nursing
school. Jazz & his mama -- Irulan from the stars we came, to the stars we return from now until the end of time "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... This morning I woke up with lower back pain, to the point that I could barely walk. I called in sick. First thing I did was to soak in a tub of hot water, to relax the back muscles. So I'm lying down in the tub, luxuriating in the hot water. Little Feet is sitting on the edge of the tub, very concerned that I would submerge myself in water. He watches for a minute or two, then carefully puts a front paw on my chest, while he tries to stay on the edge of the tub. Then he reaches out the other front paw, and places it on my chest. Finally, tail held up above the water, he gingerly works his back paws over until he is sitting completely on my chest. I now have a sweet nurse kitty, braving the very waters of hell to meatloaf and purr on my chest, while I soak. I have dry hands, so I pet him and take care to balance him, so that we don't end up dancing a ballet for tooth and claw. Finally, the water cools, so I lift Little Feet out, dry off, and fill a hot water bottle. I lay on the bed, with the hot water bottle on my back, and Little Feet immediately climbs up, onto the hot water bottle. I guess he has the best of both worlds - hot water, sealed in an impermeable container, and being able to nurse me back to health all at once. Of course, you're not supposed to apply heat for too long, so I remove the hot water bottle after half an hour. Little Feet then decides he can nurse me from a couple of feet away, as he takes up the meatloaf position from the relocated hot water bottle. We both take naps, and all is right with the world. Hugs and Purrs, Mark |

Mark Edwards dumped this in
on 27 Apr 2004: This morning I woke up with lower back pain, to the point that I could barely walk. I called in sick. First thing I did was to soak in a tub of hot water, to relax the back muscles. I hope you feel better soon. At least you have a caring nursemaid. -- Cheryl |
