We again woke up early, but
that was okay. I had much to do before going to class. Tommy let me know what
my priority should be and of course, I got out her breakfast before doing
anything else.
As she ate I was able to take
care of posts and prepare for class. After Tommy finished off her breakfast,
she reminded me that her grass was the next course. She ate while I showered and dressed. When I
was finished I saw that tommy had again knocked the grass out of the container,
so it was put away for another day.
Tommy moved to her living room
bed by the window as I put on my shoes.
Once everything was done, I said good bye and went to class.
When I returned Tommy came and
greeted me. It’s always great to come home
to her since she always lets me know how happy she is when I return. After petting her, we spent some time playing
with the fleece teaser.
Once when Tommy was under of
the glass table, the teaser fell on top of it. She still doesn’t understand
glass. She tried to reach the teaser through the glass and couldn’t understand
how she could see the teaser and her paw could be so close, but she couldn’t
touch it.
After playing, Tommy decided
that it was time for another nap and curled up in her bed by the window. I went
to the study to work on the computer. When Tommy woke she came and found me. It
was time to give her the attention that she deserved.
While I was petting her while
she sat on her living room rug, she noticed that there was still a few blades
of grass from the morning. She bent down to eat them and got most of the in her
mouth. There was one blade that didn’t want to cooperate no matter what she
did. I grabbed the blade, put it near her mouth, and she surprisingly ate it.
She had never eaten anything right from my hand.
She then moved to her food
dish and ate some of her dry food. After each bite, she would raise her head
and look at me as if to say, “Look I’m eating this stuff that you keep wanting
me to eat. Are you happy now?” I was very happy to see her eating the dry food
since she hadn’t been eating much for the last couple days.
After eating, it was time to
chill in her bed. I thought she might want to nap, but she positioned herself
so that she could rest while keeping watch out the window. I continued working
and she continued napping throughout the afternoon and early evening.
Tommy spent some post-dinner
time napping on her bungalow. When she came out after her nap, she sat by the
teasers as if to say, “I’m ready to play!” I tried using various teasers, but
none of them kept her attention, so I moved to a sure-fire toy, the laser
pointer.
Tommy chased all over the
living room after the little red point of light, and still occasionally would
roll over and want to play with the point of light above her head. I hope that
soon she’ll stop thinking that the light can float in the air.
After we played for quite a
while, Tommy plopped exhausted on her rug in the living room. As I worked on my
laptop she just stayed there in a deep sleep.
When she woke up I knew that I could go to bed without waking her. She looked up and I went and said good night.
I know that when I’m needed, she’ll come into the bedroom and let me know.
