Spot for a rainy day

I had left CC with her bone but when I looked some time later she’d disappeared. I found her upstairs on the rug, curling up with her favourite toy (after taking it out of its box):

Keeping warm

CC shows her cheekiness and cleverness in finding the warmest part of the new lounge room – the top of the sofa by the radiator cover…

My Dichromatic Deficiency

Couscous wrote a poem this morning (there may have been a ghost writer involved as well…)

I can’t see in colour,
But you know, when I’m blue:
You stroke and cuddle me
and make me feel brand new.

When I’m red with anger,
and I go slightly mad,
You make my crate tidy,
Even when I’ve been quite bad

But best of all is night,
When I’m no more a grouch,
You let me snooze between
you, prostrate on the couch

I can’t see in colour,
It’s all just shades of gray,
But you make up for that
With kindness, every day.

Theme tune

We have discovered the signature tune for Couscous – the theme to ’30 Rock’. I can just see the video : her swaggering down the street with cuts to her getting up to mischief and having adventures.

Real time napping

Chatting to a friend in OZ who asked about Couscous. So here she is napping my by desk on her favourite bit of vetbed…

Day 1

Finally. We went to pick Couscous up this morning.  The roads were great – considering a number of places in the UK were snowbound.   She howled for about 10 mins in the car and then went to sleep.   I don’t think we’ve got the housetraining off to a good start but we have, at last, a good use for all those free newspapers you get shoved in your face coming home on the tube.
