Hey, Person...

...why haven't I been blogging?

You know I've been very cute.

I can tell because you point those thingies that blink and click at me pretty much every day.

I've been cuddling so nicely with Dog

and that warm light I like has come back in the mornings again

and you know how much I love sitting in my window

watching the birds

and I've even gotten to spend some backyard time with you.

So why haven't I been blogging?  I have a lot to talk about.

You're here at our desk a lot, where we do that sort of thing,

I haven't even told anyone about my new blue friend yet.

I don't know what you're so busy with.  But I'll be here, whenever you're ready.

A Study in Textures.

Birthday Cuddles.

There's no better way I could have spent my birthday than this.  On top of my people, next to my dog.

Sudden Wake-Up

Zzzzzzzzzz.

What the--

Never mind.  Zzzzzzz.

What?!

Um, excuse me.  Did you really just get up?

I'm not sure what just happened, but I'll be here waiting for your lap to come back again.

What That Says.

It's true, you know.

Fuzzy Nest.

With Dog.

No matter what

as long as Dog is here next to me

all is right with the world.

New Blankie.

I got a new blankie this winter

and

I love it.

Yo.

Dogs Are The Nicest Pillows.

 

Words With Friends.

You are wiggling too much.

Stop that.

Words With Friends is a dumb game, anyway.

Sit still.

There you go.

That's more like it.

Mmmmmmm, Waaaaaarm.

Did I mention I got a new heating pad for my corner bed?

(stretches and staggers to closest cool, smooth surface and tips over with a plop)

Yeah.

What a Great Month it Was.

What's better than a Christmas tree?

A Christmas tree with crinkled wrapping paper and ribbons around it.

What's better than a Christmas tree with crinkled wrapping paper and ribbons around it?

A Christmas tree with crinkled wrapping paper and ribbons around it and that crazy little laser guy zipping around in the mess.

Oh you think you're sneaky Crazy Little Laser Guy but I will get you.

Hey wait where'd you go? 
 

Gotcha! 
 

And gotcha again! 
 
 

Stop doing that! You were just here... 

Wait - where did you...?

I love you Crazy Little Laser Guy. Merry Christmas.

It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This.

What could be better than cuddling inside a blankie cave on a nest-bed in someone's lap?

Cuddling inside a blankie cave on a nest-bed in someone's lap next to the Christmas tree.

Back in the Studio Today.

Today we are drawing wedding cake.

I am adding my signature assistance to this project.

Overseeing Quality Control.

But

I

do

require

scritches.

And many kisses on the head.

Eventually

I am bored by cake

and simply require a lap.

From the Flossie Archives...

Christmas 2003

I would wish you all the Gift of Me this year, but since I can't be everywhere at once, I'll just wish you the next best things, endless warm laps and scritches behind the ears.

Today.

Today we are drawing bunnies.

You can see how I help.

Noseintail.

Squish

Sometimes a person stretches their legs out and knocks me off my blankie-pile.

That's ok.

Blankie Pile.

Person: "What is this blanket doing all crunkled up here in a big messy pile?"

(goes to pick it up and fold it)

Blankie: "Mrowrt."

What are you doing disturbing my cozy blankie pile?  I was cuddled up so contentedly.

Sleeping.

Now I may never fall back aslee....

Zzzzzzz.

Zzzzzzzzz.

Content.

More Cuddles with Dog.

Sometimes Dog doesn't realize that she wants to cuddle with me.
But it doesn't take her long to figure it out. 
 

I'm Serious.

Can't you see how incredibly serious I am?

Hello.

I am in your lap.
But there is something missing.
That's more like it.

Cuddles with Dog.

I can tell because Person finally stopped moving!  Now, for some quality lap-time.

I Think I Need a Vacation.

Mid-Morning Nap

Afternoon Windowsill

 

Morning Cuddles

Good morning.
Please don't move.  Well, maybe only if you're going to scritch me.
Why did you move?
Ok, well, we'll just be here waiting for you here, whenever you're ready to come back.

Squishy Belly

Pinkness

Who's Snoring?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
What?
Never mind.  Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Lap Sharing.

Yes, the windowsill is perfectly comfortable, and the view is great - but someone else seems to be occupying the lap that belongs to me.
Hey, Dog.
Mmm, nice ear.
I just need
to position
myself
comfortably.
Your head smells great, by the way.
(plop)
There.
That's
more
like it.
And that's
how you
share a lap.
