I have been paying attention to our evening. Just now he got up, looks around like he’s in a new store or something and stops walking, head swiveling around as if to orientate himself.

“Were you looking for something, Hon?”
“Not sure.”

“Do you need water?”
“No, it’s not that.”

“Do you need to pee?”
“Yes.” (As he heads to the laundry room)

“It’s down the hall.” By this time I’m getting up. He is now on his chair at the kitchen table.

“Ok, Hon, let’s go.”

“Where?”

Buddy has been an angel in disguise for Wayne since Dec. 03
He has the most laid back personality of any cat we’ve ever been owned by.
This pic was Dec. 08 – he had more attention than enough and loved every minute.
I think he really is part dog as watches out for Wayne all day.

He came up the stairs with his familiar, old smile on his face. He was laughing and flushed and happy. (I have always loved his smile and laugh and this one was from yesteryear.)

After peaking around the corner of the bedroom, he found me – “He knows me! Buddy knows me or he wouldn’t play with me like that.”

And the bubble burst – - -

“We’ll do the other one now.”

He tucked his foot under the chair and said, “I only have one.” (He loves his own humor and laughed.)

The RN who does his foot care earned her money today. I get his toenails done once per month ($25.00). The other weeks we duke it out:)

Not a bad day all in all.
