These two really don’t get along at home —Honey is just too young and wants to play hard all the time and Maggie is just too old and wants none of it. So we generally try to keep them separated so Honey doesn’t accidentally hurt Maggie… but today they were both tired so I put Maggie on top of/next to Honey and Honey stayed calm and they were totally nap buddies!
These two have NEVER done this in 16 years. Charlie wasn’t ever mean but Bella obviously didn’t like her…so now that Charlie is gone, Bella is a totally different cat!
Maggie was looking around listlessly and I told Dad to pull the blanket down. Maggie immediately jumped up and crashed.
I’ve been hanging out with Maggie on the couch all day just relaxing and snoozing. It’s been a dream!
I was up early today since the guy was here to work on our bathroom (it’s almost done) so Maggie and I were cuddling on the couch…
Getting old sucks. I woke up this morning with a familiar twinge in my lower back which told me I’d have to be careful or it would go out on me. So I was careful. I squatted at the knees, didn’t bend over, did my stretches. I sat at my desk, walked around Costco with Anna, and then we went on a walk. I felt fine. Then guess what happened midway through my walk? ZING! My back went out. I managed to make it back and drive home but now I’m sacked out on ice on the couch with Maggie. I took whatever drugs Tom gave me and crossed my fingers—we have another appointment today at 4 (not for my back) and I hope I can make it.
And then this happened…so I’m officially stuck.
Anna said David was the cat whisperer when it comes to nails so he offered to try Maggie’s since they were long overdue. She didn’t mind it nearly as much as when Tom and I try to do it. He’s hired.
We all decided to go out Pokemoning and I felt guilty about leaving Maggie so I bundled her up in a blanket and brought her with us. She loved it. She just curled up on my lap the whole time.
She was asleep in Tom’s chair in the sun as I sat down on the couch with the blanket. Within 30 seconds she had popped her head up and came over to cuddle with me.
Maggie has been sleeping with Katie more often and this is how Tom found them this morning.
Enjoy this video of Maggie trying to bury herself in Katie’s laundry. That sheet just doesn’t want to cooperate.
I happened to run across a stuffed duck with long dangly legs and remembered how much Maggie used to love them. I figured it was worth a try to get her one now to see if she would still go crazy for it.
Yep.
Both arms were ripped off within minutes.
It was so great seeing her playful!!
Under a warm laptop and a warm dog.
An hour later…
After I left for a phone call and lunch and came back and slid back under her.
I really need to sit at my desk and do some work but how can I deny this? I can’t.
I mean look at her face!
