Tommy woke me up at 4:30 to give
her some attention. When we finished we fell asleep next to each other. She
seemed to feel that I need to be kept in close proximity so I don’t shirk my
duties. I of course enjoy having her near
to me.
Although we woke up a couple more
times, we didn’t get up until it was time for me to get ready for class. As
always Tommy watched me put on my shoes and headed for the bedroom under the
bed to await my return.
When I returned we spent some time
trying to figure out what toy she wanted for our play time. After several attempts, we went right back to
her favorite, the fleece teaser. It never fails to amaze me that she doesn’t
tire of playing with that toy.
I opened the windows and balcony
door to let in some fresh air. Tommy decided that the balcony door with its
fresh air and sun, would be a great place for her nap. While she napped, I
worked. When it was time for attention, Tommy would find me and rub against my
legs as I worked on the computer. One time I didn’t stop working quickly
enough, so she jumped up on the desk.
When Tommy decided to nap in the
bedroom, I decided that it was a good time to leave for the museum exhibition
opening. Tommy was now okay with me
leaving, knowing that I always return, and when I do return I had better be
quick with a treat.
When I returned we spent some time
making sure that whether by petting or playing, Tommy got the attention that
she deserved. We then again fell asleep
while watching the news, but woke up about an hour later which still meant that
there was time for one more play session.
Tommy pulled the fleece teaser into
the bedroom, so I closed the door. We continued playing in the bedroom and
finished the night using the laser pointer to hopefully tire Tommy enough to go
to sleep. When she was done with the
laser pointer, she headed under the bed to indicate that play time was
finished. I put her midnight snack on
the bed, knowing that later she would come up and find it when she moved to
sleep up on top of the bed.
