Christensen A thunderstorm blew through during the night with a very stiff breeze. I got up to shut the window (I know, it is November, but I sleep with it open all year) and then wormed my way back between the sleeping basenjis in bed. Ian, who usually sleeps by my knees, started to make his way out from under the covers and had his front legs over my trunk, rear legs still on the other side, when a rumble of thunder sounded. He is much better about t-storms than he used to be, but apparently they still cause him a little insecurity, because he just stretched out and collapsed onto me, burying his nose in my neck and draping across me like a pageant sash. He stayed there, snoring, until the storm passed. It was a very sweet 40 minutes of closeness with him!
Moot & Laser (it was a bit warm under the covers last night...) Bubba Chuck & Margot Kitters the Katz (snoozin' on the kitchen bench) Ian the Beanie Baby (wuz just a way to get close to Moot!) Cherry on Top (actually, on the left side, as usual) & Tutu, too (w-a-a-a-y down under the covers!) on the left edge of New Jersey
