Greetings to all on this glorious Thursday. We’re all up. Podrick came up for a cuddle under the quilt and to root at my neck. I’m trying to top him from doing it as much. He left me covered in tiny hickies last week. I figured out this morning I can trick him. If I let him get a couple of licks in, I can slip my hand between us, and he’ll latch on to my palm or a fingertip.
We had a nice, slow Wednesday. Shawshank came home around lunchtime, and we just relaxed on the couch. We took turns snuggling Podrick, when he wasn’t tearing around the house. He loooooves laying out on Shawshank‘s lap. He stretches out on his back so he can get belly rubs.
Whenever Pod passes out, I bring him over to Pippin. She’s very curious about him, but he never stops moving long enough for her to “inspect” him. Most of the time, I just hold him out to her. If he’s awake, I might have to hold him so he can’t swat at her. If she’s curled up somewhere when he’s in limp mode, I’ll put him next to her. I’ve managed to achieve three “cuddle puddles” with them, each one lasting a little longer than the last. They lasted almost 10 minutes last night when he was completely zonked out. She checked out his ears and gave him a few tentative licks.
Shawshank is back to work tonight and tomorrow. I’m going to do my thang, whatever that might be.
