Time4ANap Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I had a rough night while trying to sleep last night and then an early work thing happened this morning (well, early by my standards...) It's a raining, cloudy, dark day here and other than F-35's going over the house doing training, a good afternoon for a nap. I had been in bed this afternoon for maybe 45 minutes and was just starting to fall into a decent sleep. Then I heard it - the sound. I only know one sound like that. Not an F-35. Not an F-16. Not a bird. Not a plane. It was....... Wait for it...... The sound of Snickers flying through the air to join me in bed. In less than a second I knew the sound of an airborne greyhound before the paws hit the bed. Next thought - I wonder what Snickers is doing here??? I never realized before that I know what it sounds like when Snickers flies through the air to jump in bed with me. Snickers was having a rough day. There was work going on at her house with banging on the roof and electricity going on and off making everything in the house beep etc. She needs an afternoon at Camp Greyhound. She whined a lot. She wasn't happy that I was napping. I got up. More F-35's went over. She went to the dark walk-in closet. A few minutes later I found out why she was really whining. She wanted my side of the bed. All is right with her world now. She is sleeping on my side of the bed listening to James Taylor on Pandora. The things we do..... Quote Camp Broodie.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
