Saturday, August 16, 2014: Strike a Pose


Tommy wakes me up during the night and this time I can’t figure out why. I think she just wanted to remind me that she was also on the bed and I need to be careful about how I move. When morning comes, she’s sitting by the window waiting for me to get up and take care of her needs. That is of course why I’m around and tolerated, isn’t it?
I have rehearsal this morning so everything needs to be done quickly. I don’t think that Tommy going to appreciate having the master suite to herself again. We did get some play time in before I left, but as always, Tommy could sense that I was leaving and would make a mad dash for the suite doorway whenever I was near it. Treats always lure her on to the bed where I can tell her goodbye and that I will return. This time I get smart and put the treats down one at a time and move closer to the door as I toss each one on the bed.
When I return Tommy scolds and wants to stick close by but doesn’t want to be petted. I hope that it had something to do with the heat. She lounges for a while by the balcony screen door and strikes a pose.  The rest of the afternoon she naps near me while I work on the computer. I have to leave to pick up a friend and take him to pick up his car, so I’m sure Tommy won’t appreciate the “alone time.”
The evening was spent relatively quietly except for some much needed play time. When It was time for bed, I picked Tommy up and she didn’t squirm around like she usually would do. I think that she was just as ready for bed as I was. Maybe she had been partying and playing too much while I was gone.
