I don't get any cuddling from Lacey. My wife tries to put her on my legs at night and she goes away after a few minutes. Occasionally now Jordyn stays on my legs for a while after my wife feeds me. Jordyn gets up there to be as close up food as she can. Occasionally I "drop things". A few times a week she stays up there when my wife leaves. She can be so sweet. The main story I have was interaction between Lacey and Jordyn.
Over the weekend it was still cold but sunny out. The sun came in the living room onto a faux leather footstool we have. Usually Jordyn sleeps on it but one day she was sound asleep on the couch nearby. Lacy came over and laid down on the sunny part. She was there about a half an hour before Jordyn noticed her. She gingerly got down off the couch and gently approached the cat. As she came close to the cat the cat rolled over on its side and I realized she had been planning this all along.
Lacey being on her side and back Lacey let Jordyn get close with her nose thinking the cat finally wants to play. As soon as Jordyn got her nose close to Lacey's tummy Lacey brought her back paws up and started poking her back claws into Jordyn's nose. One thing I like about labs is that their fases are very expressive. Look on Jordyn's face was so funny. Her face said what on earth is going on. The cats don't have claws in the front but they do in the back. Her expression was priceless. Then she just ignored it because she's a galloot. That lazy started hissing and batting at her with her front paws and Jordyn thought she was playing. She easily overpowered her it was after a five-minute battle. Were pretty sure Lacey was doing it to have fun. Jordan would never really hurt the cats other than poking them too hard with their dolphin nose. I don't get much cuddling except when Jordyn comes back and sleeps on my legs when someone else is back in the bedroom talking with me.
Lately we have been thinking that Jordyn thinks she is a 10 pound animal instead of a 50+ pounder. Jordyn has never understood the cats. We are convinced now that she thinks that her and the cats are the same. I think I've mentioned she climbs up on the back of the couch like the cats do, keep trying to give the cats her dog toys and likes to get the cats to spar with her like other dogs do at the dog par this brings up another story.
I had a 24 hour body Wednesday was called and then and then cold and then hot. I was miserable and everywhere I could have pain I did. My wife came and got me ready for bed and getting the right support behind my neck helped and so I was able to watch videos. There is a dining room chair in the bedroom for her to sit in when she feed me dinner. It was pushed against the wall. While I am trying to get my temperature right and the pain to subside that beautiful gray cat named Slim comes in and climbed up on the chair. Is very independent and just wanders around all day checking things out. A rarely stays in one place for more than five minutes. He rarely comes in the bedroom where I can see him. So I look over on this chair when I heard a noise and it is Slim. He climbs up the back of the chair and starts batting record of the blinds on that window. He stays doing this for longer than usual. Pretty soon he climbs up on the back of the chair and pulls the shade way from the frame and sticks his head in there to look out. Pretty soon use climbed off the chair and behind the shade on the window. He is having a good time back there and pretty soon I see is that pop out at the other end of the shade. About that time Lacey comes in to check it out because she senses Slim is having fun. Pretty soon she's on the back of the chair and follows him in behind the shade. A keep popping his head in and out and with her up there and being very entertain. Pretty soon she sticks her head out the right side while he has his head out the left side. I am finding it all thing entertaining. Then he gets better. I wife comes in because she hears the noise and Jordyn comes in also because she years my wife and I talking about the cats. She gets very jealous so she comes in to see what's going on. She sees the cats in the window and goes over and sits below the window. As I mentioned labs every easy-to-read faces. She sits there looking up at the cats and she knows she cannot get up there. She just sits there looking up at them trying to figure out a way she can join them. It was hilarious. So one of the worst days I have had physically and some being very entertaining at night.
Today the chaplain visited and I told her about Wednesday how miserable I was and how it ended. It's hard to remember when you're up to your waist and alligators that do their to drain the swamp. I would have to thank God, Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior for nice ending to horrible day. As my health decreases I can only look to the Lord to hold me up and care me through it. The animals are very entertaining.
