Brendel Has Many Friends

Usually the Dude wakes me up very early every day. Today it was Brendel. I actually didn't mind too much because that should be a sign she is feeling better. She was calling me to her room. Yes, she was at the doorway of the main room she sleeps in, meowing. So I answered her call. These three tiny stuffed toys were all on the floor. This means it is my turn to play her game. She gets on the bed, scoots off the toys to the floor. I pick them up for her. Yes, she has me trained. Again, today I did not mind as she is getting older and it made my day to see her wanting to play. Only for about five minutes. Then she went to sleep.

That is so cute!!!! Doodles carried his toys around wherever he went. He would either play with them alone or sleep with them. They are at rest with him now. Enjoy every moment.

charlie is very playful because he is only a year and a half. Striper spends pretty much all of his time sleeping.

It is good to have playtime with the pets even if only for a short time. I have my two dogs and I am babysitting my very naughty grand doggie!! It keeps me on my toes.

At first I thought something was wrong, she was very loud with her meow. And it is funny how they have different sounds for different reasons.

Looks like Brendel treats her toys very well. Wish I could say our dogs toys are in as good condition as Brendels are.

That is so cute. The female cat Cha Cha I had before my Sid had a favorite little stuffed monkey. She took it in her mouth and went everywhere with it. When it lost its head I had to keep sewing it back on, lol
