Tommy began her morning wake up duties at 5:30. I know that she’d been home alone quite a bit during the week and I’d also been sick, so she had gotten plenty of sleep. Although she was rarin’ to go I still needed my sleep. She tried again about every half hour until the heat came on. At that point she was sitting up on her bungalow and jumped down quickly when she saw that I was actually going to get up.

I finished the morning chores and worked on postings while Tommy ate her breakfast.  Once she was finished we had an early morning play session and then I finished getting caught up on the blogs. Tommy watched for a while, but then got bored and went to the main room to await my return from the study.

Tommy was enjoying the sun on the ottoman and later on the floor. When I went to change the laundry, Tommy came along and then let me know that it was time for a play session.  She chased the laser light for a while before stopping to take a breather back in the sun.

The afternoon was spent relaxing in the sun or chasing around. Around 2:30 Tommy came out to the living room. I thought that she wanted to play, but after exhausting most options I realized that she hadn’t had her lunch. Once I put out her treat and grass, she ate them and went back to trying to find a place in the sun.

When the sun hid behind the buildings, it was time for more play and chasing. Tommy caught and chewed on the fleece teaser. At times she’d grab it in her teeth and pull it (and me) into another room. She spent quite some time on the top of the bungalow playing with the teaser.

I finished most of the laundry while Tommy supervised in the study and living room.  Whe3n I finally got to the last load, I went to the bedroom to take the flannel sheets off the bed, and there was Tommy sitting on the bed taking a nap.  I swear the she knows when it’s time to do the sheets and always seems to be napping on the bed at that time.

When it was time for dinner, Tommy came out to eat and I was able to put the sheets on the washer. We had a quiet night with Tommy napping on the bungalow. When the sheets were finished I made the bed. I barely finished making the bed before Tommy jumped on to continue her nap. I’m sure that she wanted to relax on those nice warm sheets before they got cold.

By the time I was ready or bed, Tommy had moved to her chair at the dining table. I picked her up and took her into the bedroom. When I put her on her spot on the bed she just sat there. Usually when I place her there at night, she hops off and moves around the bedroom, but not tonight.  I got out her snack and she ate it on the bed. When I got into bed, she just curled up in her spot, so I turned out the lights and fell asleep with my little fur ball at my feet.
