Mama says it's strange to think that I've only been with her for 2 of my 4 years, she says that it seems that I've always been a part of her life - she can't imagine her life without me. I feel that same way. I can't imagine being away from my Mama, although I do love it when we travel about to friend's houses!
We have had a lovely few days of sunshine, here and there. Oh, how I love soaking up sunbeams. They make my everything feel good!
Mama says the Weatherpeople are talking about SNOW this week. Goodness! If it does snow, I hope it doesn't hurt all of the tender little green plants coming up outside. I've been keeping an eye on them every day and they seem to be ready for warm weather, not freezy snows! Maybe Mama will cover some things up, just like she does me when I'm chilly?
It's been a quiet past few weeks around our house. Mama hurt her back (slipping in the garden on that icky, slimy mud that gets stuck on my paws - I tell you, it's NO GOOD!) and it's taking a long time for her to heal. She's spending a lot more time than usual laying down and while I sure do like her being home with me, I don't like it when she isn't feeling well. I worry.
Then, yesterday, my "forefinger claw" got stuck in the metal grate on the back door when I was alerting Mama that I was ready to come inside and that nasty metal tore some of my claw right off! Ohhh how it hurt. I licked and licked and licked to try and lick the ouch away, but, it didn't work. Mama soaked my paw in something a little stinky and it did feel a little better after that, but it was still bleeding a bit.
One time, I ripped something Mama called a "dew claw" clean off my paw, when I was playing with friends. man, that really HURT! But, before I knew it, I was all better and I didn't have to wear my special shoe anymore. I'm sure that this ouch will heal even faster.
I hope all of the ouches of all of the peoples and pets in the world heal quickly and that we can all get back to enjoying many sunbeam naps and snuggleloves with our friends and loved ones...
Love,
Melvino
