Izzy's two favorite places to sleep:



On top of hubby...



... or under my arm.

Not pictured: Emmy, sleeping between my feet.

I have such good girls...

I think Izzy senses that Tina losing Willow spooked me a bit, because she's been around me every moment I've been home since then. Upstairs, downstairs, in bed, on the couch... heck, in the bathroom... she's always there. And the last couple of nights, she's been sleeping snuggled not just in my arm, but under the blankets with me. Me holding her like a teddy bear, covers pulled up to our armpits... and then Emmy will curl up by my knees, and hubby will snuggle up to all three of us. Not a lot of room on the bed to sprawl, but I wouldn't change a thing.

The only problem I have... is that, even after all these years, Izzy's dander STILL kills me. I snuggle my face close to her, but it isn't long before I'm congested, my eyes itch, and I get wheezy. I've been doubling up on allergy meds and it's holding off the worst of it, but I NEED to get into the doc soon and convince them to put me on allergy shots. Because, no, I will not stop sharing my pillow with my cat, so we might as well just stick needles in me so I can breathe properly!

Seriously though, I love my girls so much. I'm lucky to have such good lovergirls.

She is so beautiful SW.

Awwww....silver please give Izzy and extra hug and kiss for me...she reminds me so of my sweet Willow there. I am touched that she senses my loss...I so miss having my Willow to snuggle with more than anything. You do have good girls, and Willow as such a good girl too. Izzy really is her near twin...

[slvrwhispr]

I know, Tina. She's started bringing her toy mice to me in bed, which she's never done before. It got me all teary. I'd give anything if I could bring Willow back to you. I will make sure Izzy gets plenty of extra affection for you.

[Tina B and crew]

I'd give anything to bring her back too...it still hasn't totally sunk in that she's gone. I keep hoping upon futile hope that this was all a dream and she will meet me when I come through the door. I still look for her, I called Chunk by her name this morning when I caught him out of the corner of my eye.

I wish you didn't have allergies...hold Izzy tight to your heart <3

I'm holding Willow in mine...it's getting a wee bet better, as long as I'm not home, but when the sun goes down it becomes unbearable

[slvrwhispr]

The nights are always the worst. Seems like life's easier to deal with when the sun is up, and when it goes down, it's so much harder. Many, many hugs to you.

The dark of night always makes things worse. If you felt bad during the day, you'll probably feel worse after the sun goes down. Especially when everyone else is asleep. You're alone, you can't see anything out the windows, and it's incredibly quiet - no TV or radio on in the background. The mind tends to go a bit wild when there are no distractions.

Hang in there Tina. It will get easier - I promise.

I must be the odd duck in the room because the nights are better for me. My mind is clearer in the darkness and still quiet of the world. Maybe it's a Bipolar thing or maybe I've just adapted myself to be nocturnal like the cats, I don't know. The worst for me is sunrise when the world is awakening and life is happening around me.

[Tina B and crew]

It's not the darkness necessarily, but the fact that night time was my ritual with Willow...she slept at my feet and we had our alone time at night. It was the only time without chunk because I shut him out of the room to preserve that alone time with Willow. It was our special bonding time. Same with mornings when we awoke. She wouldn't move until I stirred and then she would greet me...Oh lord I miss that more than I can even express.
