The Penultimate Happiness-a-Day post, counting down to 2009:

I skipped yesterday, so here it is:

I was watching TV, and Manda-bear was sleeping on a chair nearby. She wakes up, glances over at me, and starts rattling off a longish sentance (or maybe a paragraph) in Meaowese. I go over and scritch her, and she continues, just commenting on the state of things. :-)

Today:

I go into the guest room, to brace myself against the end of the bed to scoot back in my chair. Trixie is there sleeping on the bed. I say: "Hello!" to her, and she stretches, and climbs into my lap and gives me whisker-kisses all over my face.
