Quick posting – a few more animal stories

Today one of my brother-in-laws came over for his weekly visit. It started out as a Bible study but is turned into a gab session instead. We did end up with prayer. Because of that I'm a little short on time today so I will just tell another animal story or two.
Atlas seems be feeling pretty insecure because of the cats. He is acting more attached than usual especially with my wife. He used to get jealous when she would brush Macy but with the new cats he is always jealous even if they aren't in the room. Last night he got up on the couch next to her and put his head on her arm. Then it morphed into his head on her shoulder then he went even further and put his head on top of hers and had his chest on top of her shoulder. He was glued to her until bedtime. Silly dog. She tells him he is a good boy and that he is still her favorite but he is still insecure.
The cats are starting to spend more time in the living room. Lacy has taken over the cat bed near the window. Sometimes she lays with her back paws on the table and her front elbows on the windowsill. There is nothing below her stomach. I'm not sure how that's comfortable but she seems to like it. Both cats and started hanging around our bedroom at bedtime. If Atlas walks by, even if he is 3 or 4 foot away they cry like little babies in their kitty voices. I tried telling them about the boy who cried Wolf but they don't care because they're cats and that's what cats do.
This morning Atlas laid up by my shoulders while my wife was getting me dressed. One time she rolled me over and he licked my left hand front and back, goober city. Next time she rolled me over he licked my right hand front and back, more goober. Then when she tipped my chair back to pull me into a better he licked my left chin, cheek, ear and then my hair. He left by ear full of goober and he is never licked my hair before. He must really be feeling insecure. I'm sure by the end of the year you all be great friends!
