Sunday, August 10, 2014: A Lazy Day to Celebrate National Lazy Day

After our late night play, we both sleep late. At first I can’t tell Tommy’s mood. She’s on the bed, off the bed, wants to be touched, or wants to be left alone. I finally get up and start the day. As the morning progresses, Tommy lets me know when it’s time for the morning petting/rub down. We also spend some time playing with her favorite toy, the fleece teaser.
We have a quiet morning and I get all the computer work done. While I’m working on the computer, Tommy sometimes comes in to remind me that she needs some attention.  When she’s not by my side, she’s either sunning herself by the study window or in her favorite little box that she commandeered when it arrived and was left on the floor.
During the afternoon, we take our usual siestas. I originally put Tommy’s box in an odd place that I can’t see, so today I gave her a ride in her box and moved it to a different location in the living room; we’ll see if she likes the new location. She spends the rest of the afternoon and early evening alternating among the box, her living room chair and her dining room chair.
This was National Lazy Day and we do our best to honor the day! We spend the evening watching television and playing before heading to bed. Of course, Tommy decided that she didn’t want to go into the bedroom and threw an absolute fit. I left the room for a while so she could calm down & understand that if she decides to sleep most of the day, we’re still heading to the bedroom when it’s time to sleep whether she chooses to sleep or not.
