I’m not sure where Tommy slept last night. She jumped on the
bed at 5:00, but her snack was already eaten, so I’m not sure what occurred
while I slept. We started the morning in our usual way. The routine now includes on and off times on
the computer. I get about 15 minutes time on the computer before Tommy comes in
for about 15 minutes of “her time.”
Today we had a fun time with her trying to catch my hand’s
shadow on the desk in addition to the usual petting/cuddling time. At one point
she also starting playing with her own shadow although I don’t think she
realized that she was making it. She also noticed my glasses refracting on the
desk, but couldn’t figure out why they disappeared whenever she got close and
would block the light. I left a few times to get coffee or do something else
and each time Tommy just stayed up on the desk awaiting my return (or just
enjoying the light without my annoying presence).
She finally came out when I went to fold a load of laundry. I
opened a bureau drawer and she came bounding into the bedroom as I closed the
drawer. I was reminded that she liked to jump into the open drawer and
rearrange the clothing, so I reopened the drawer. Once she jumped in and checked
it out, she left to wait in the study, but again came bounding into the closet
when I went to put away other clothes.
That done, it was back to the study and again, she came
bounding up and helped my work. This time she was all business, using her head
and paws to direct my hands while typing. I guess that I had mistaken typing
time for petting time. She’s also getting good at pressing the Caps Lock key.
Although I left to iron some clothing, Tommy never left the
desk. The desk light really keeps the area warm. When I went to shower and get ready for the
concert, she finally decided to leave the desk and see what was happening. It
was also time for dinner, so I found that she would leave do eat.
Before I left, I knew that I needed to brush her teeth. As always, Tommy let me pick her up and put
her on the table. Although she squirmed a
little at first, once we got started she sat still and open her mouth
slightly. This was the best that she’s
ever done and she was of course rewarded for her efforts.
I closed the study right before I left because that’s also
where the toxic plants live. She usually doesn’t bother them, but I never like
to leave the study open for exploring and experimentation when I’m not around.
She moved to the sofa for what I was sure was a long nap since she had played
quite a bit this afternoon.
When I returned from the concert I was met at the door by Tommy.
We spent a few minutes getting attention and then it was time for bed. When I
got into bed, Tommy jumped on the bungalow and then the bed to check things
out. She didn’t eat her snack right then, so I knew she’d be back later.
