Andy and Dougy are used to me leaving for periods of time. They watch, subtly, but beyond doubt. They pick up on clues like me taking a shower (Andy likes to watch), the clothes I put on, the fact I put on shoes (I am barefooted at home), and how I turn on Nebraska Public Radio to keep them company. They know I’m leaving.

What they do while I’m gone is a big question. I’ve thought about getting one of those motion-activated cameras, hoping there’d be nothing but sleeping kitties on the video when I view it.

More likely, they’d be chasing each other and tearing up things. I bet they are clawing the carpet and furniture, climbing the screens, and walking on the counters and dining room table. If they sleep, it’s on the guest bedroom bed.

Whatever they do, though, when I come home, they are waiting behind the door when I open it! Maybe they just know they are going to get kitty food (usually, depending on the time) or maybe they missed me. It doesn’t matter. I’m just happy to see my kitty boys again! 

Andy guards the catnip-flavored kitty treats, his favorite!

Dougy enjoys a table top view from this favorite bird watching spot.

Table manners are slim around here. Believe me, if you eat at my table, I first wipe it down and make sure nothing that comes in contact with food touches the table surface!

I know many people were alarmed by my “bloody hell” post, so it’s important you know the next time, things went exceptionally well.

Well, there was a trail of my blood on the sidewalk leading to the emergency entrance still…!

But this is what awaited me at the hospital! What a lovely Nebraska sunrise!

Aw spring! Even the dandelions are briefly welcome for the relief from browns and greys of winter! 

Here I am – hooked up and preparing to take a snooze while my dialysis proceeds!

Or I can watch out this picture window to witness birds and bunnies forage and prepare to raise their first young of the year~! Woo hoo!

All is well in the world.
