Just as I was dozing off to
sleep I heard Tommy calling out in the living room. She was making many
different sounds, so I called to her to try to get her to come in the
bedroom. She stayed out there but
quieted down, so I fell asleep.
I woke up a little after 3:00
A.M. and noticed that Tommy wasn’t in the bedroom. On my way back from the
bathroom I checked on her. I found her under the dining room table, so I went
over and talked to her while petting her. When she seemed calmer, I went back
to the bedroom.
Later she appeared on the bed
and did her usual on and off the bed activity. She would occasionally wake me
up. One time she brought her face really close to mine and I thought I was
about to get her wet nose greeting, but instead, she licked my face. She’d never done that before, so I knew that
we were doing great.
When it was time to get up,
Tommy ate her breakfast and then reminded me that the grass had not been
offered. I put it out and got ready for class. When I returned I checked around
and saw that Tommy had eaten the treats that had been on the Brewers fleece,
but not those on her bungalow.
She’s been napping on the bed
since I added the light fleece on top. Whenever
she goes there, I know that it’s a good time to get some work done on the
computer. If she feels the need, she comes in and checks up on me. I usually
have WPR on the radio and when they were playing some accordion music, Tommy
came flying in to investigate this new noise. It looked like she wasn’t a big
fan of it.
I moved to the dining table
and worked on the laptop to finish my class notes. Tommy came up and sat on the chair next to me.
She seemed to be attracted to technology although she quickly became bored and
jumped down.
While she was walking around
the condo, she ate some of her dry food. She hadn’t been eating much of it, so
this was an accomplishment. There are times when she will quickly eat all her wet
food as if she’s starving. I know that when she’s really hungry, she’ll eat her
dry food.
We had our afternoon play
session and she seemed to have an easier time jumping up on the bed now that
the fleece had been added. After we finished, she went to groom, but couldn’t
quite reach an area of her back. I got
out the “brush glove” which she sometimes attacks. Today, she accepted the
brushing and actually seemed to enjoy it.
It was time to meet a friend for
dinner. I put Tommy’s dinner in the study to warm up while I was gone. She’d be eating a little later, but since she’d
eaten some of her dry food, I wasn’t concerned.
When I returned I got out her
food. She wasn’t sure what it was at first since it had come from the study, but
once she saw what was in the dish, she ate her dinner. We didn’t have much
activity the rest of the night. I tried to have an evening play session, but Tommy
wasn’t interested in any toy that I used.
I fell asleep on the sofa and
Tommy fell asleep on her rug. When I woke up and headed for bed, Tommy remained
in the living room. I wasn’t sure if she’d
join me later, or if this was a living room night. Either way, I knew that she’d
wake me up when she needed me.
