Me and My Shadow...

Shielynn has decided that the best place in all the world is right beside me doing exactly what I do. If I take a nap, she curls up beside me to take a nap. If I go to one of my people to get scratched, she follows right along. If I sleep in the guys chair, she's right there with me and if I sleep in the ladies chair, which is smaller than the guys chair - Shielynn somehow finds a way to squiggle into the chair to be right next to me.

The other day, I thought that I got away from her to get scratches from the lady...but I was mistaken, she caught on quickly and showed up to get petted, too.

What's a guy to do?

Scratches...

Did you know that scratches can be veeeeeery nice when you have a short hair cut? I seem to forget how good it feels to get a good scratching when my hair grows long in the cooler months, then I find out all over again when I get the buzz cut in the summer time.

I must admit, my lady is very good about giving me the scratches that I need. She scratched me so good the other day that I stood stunned for a few minutes afterwards!

Amazing that something so simple can feel so good.

Anyways, I have decided that I should undergo the awful 'torture' to get my fur buzzed off, nails trimmed and [yuck] have a bath because life is so much better with a crew cut.

Love,
Max
