Ha! Got home from work to find all plants out of pots, soil all over floor, dog, kitchen floor now, soon me, the couch (thank God it's washable).... she's v naughty I'm afraid! maybe she won't pass and I can keep her
We have a kitteh fur baby called Pickle who is just nuts. Seriously, she thinks she's a dog. She plays fetch with pieces of dried pasta, chews DH's shoes and plays hide and seek before bed. We got her when she was 3 months old, 3 months ago just as we had started out IVF cycle. Just the tonic that we needed and I don't know how we managed without her.
For any cat lovers...or indeed animal lovers there's a website (respectful to BB cos it's nowt to do with reproducing )...but it's called 'simon's cat' and it has 4 or 5 short 2 minute films on it. They're compiled of sketches he's done, and they are fantastic, amusing, clever and if you own a feline...very true to life!!! We all need a giggle every now and then, and I fully recommend this site.
My Jaz is definitely preparing me for babyhood! She sleeps on the floor in a bed next to ours and ever since we got her 2 years ago I have not slept a full night, as she needs to go to the toilet every morning anywhere between 1am & 3am. I wake up instantly at the sound of the shake when she gets up.
Well in the last week we have had 3 loooong nights of storms, and she is terrified of storms. About half an hour before they hit she jumps up on the bed, whimpering & licking me frantically to wake me up, we then snuggle up and she relaxes and goes to sleep. Then she's snoring and twitching away so then I can't sleep, yet I don't move her.
I know it's all my own fault for letting her sleep with us but after everything she's been through I don't have the heart to boot her outside, especially when I know how scared she gets. We did try for a little while making her sleep in the spare bathroom but all she did was cry & yelp & scratch all the paint off the back of the door. So that put an end to that!
And this morning amidst the dust-storm mayhem the little miss is yawning away and lazing on our bed. I found myself going in and closing the blinds and doors for her so she can get some sleep in the dark... Oh dear I think I need help LOL
BOC - your baby is very spoilt indeed - but I know how easy it is to get wrapt around their little paws!!! They so know they have you right where they want you! But on the flipside - a baby like that with the history she has had - she deserves all the spoiling and loving anyone or thing can get!
AFM - We have a gorgeous little lab x staffy - he is the absolute best guy in the world and seriously shares the love around in our house. He is also known as 'lover dog' amongst his other few names - cos he is mad for a cuddle. He sleeps in the garage where we put insulation in just for him and he has a great bed with loads of blankets. During winter tho he was inside in our room on some blankets, but once the cooler nights started fading we put him back out, he seems to like his bed out there anyhow. Also we too were getting woken up with the doggie dreams; the yelping, twitching and funny noises!
I have to say he is like our child and I think with our IVF journey, like with any troublesome time in your life - he is there to make it better. I just love how their love is continuous, non judgemental, he is never moody always happy - I just can't stay grumpy or really sad when he is around.
And we are so lucky that he is soooo well behaved, a little cheeky and fantastic with kids of all ages - so gentle and loves their attention.
*sigh* Oh I miss him now thinking of him here at work! Wish I could post a pic of him!
