Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2006. Mattie was four years old and to me that was classic Mattie. He took one of his collapsible tunnels and decided to stand in it while walking down the staircase. Just out that smile! Also notice Mattie's shoes. He did not like leaving his shoes in his closet. But rather they lined our staircase, so he could have access to them when he left our home. For years our stairs were Mattie's shoe storage area! They became something we were used to seeing, which is why it took us a while to remove all his shoes after he died.

Tonight's quote makes me laugh! I have been away from home for two weeks now and got used to sleeping without a cat or dog jumping on me. Sunny and Indie brought me back to reality quickly. Both of them love bed time! Indie sleeps right next to Peter, it is like clockwork every night. She goes through a ritual of jumping on and off the bed, baking her paws into our blanket, and then finally curls up next to Peter. While Sunny may start his evening on our bed, he gets off early on. Only to give us a wake up call at 5am. He jumps on both of us, and he isn't a small dog. Therefore there is no way you can ignore him.
Slowly getting up to speed with doing chores, but still very tired and spent the majority of the day on the couch.
