We have a California King bed, it is HUGE and tall, at least 2 and a half feet high. It accommodates varying sleep hours/patterns for all members of the family (human and otherwise). Last night I was sleeping with Jaki quietly curled up next to my head (his favorite spot, though a bummer for me since he steals a lot of pillow space) and Lily at the other end of the bed. Lily learned by herself that the feet area was the appropriate space to be for a growing dog. And as soon as Ruby wakes up at some point in the night and crawls next to me Lily is there at the end of the California King to protect her young human ward from whatever evil might befall her.

Some watch dog, Lily started sleeping so soundly that BOOM CRASH BANG she falls off the high bed. Humiliated she just crawls into her crate nearby (is it a "crate" when you take the door off?). Jaki next to me suddenly starts purring contentedly. I think that was Jaki way of giggling "tee hee, the dog fell off the bed. Stupid dog."

You'd think they spent the morning chasing mice and herding sheep.

So Jaki finally gets why that candy bag was so popular.

wahahahah

Edit: (I mean "remember jaki, I haven't posted about him in a while" ... not like "remember jaki he'll be missed").

The weekend with the boys is going fine so far. We ordered to large cheese pizzas and busted the helicopter a little (fixable). Last night I heard a couple of screams from the oldest boy. I didn't move because knew it was only Jaki, my overly affectionate and playful cat, pouncing on a slightly moving body part of his -- or perhaps just sticking his feline nose into a human nose for a kiss. Jaki loves guests. The boys don't have or know much about pets, but are getting a crash course in cats, rats and snake. The youngest boy (8) is starting to grow awfully fond of Jaki.

Some of Stella's girlfriends are coming over later too. I heard her say on the phone "I have some boys over here, but they aren't like regular boys -- you know the ones that hit and tease you? These boys are nice."

I have a feeling we are going to have to pull DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION out later! :D

Take a look because, gosh, I'm adorable.

( WARNING KITTEN PICTURES!!! )

I have not been getting any sleep because I have a kitten that thinks my head, more my hair, is his mother.
