ON THE BACK BURNER

Did you ever have a really nice day.  Nothing  super special, but special because you did a lot of different things, some with friends, some alone. I had this day. I was busy morning through bed time. Maybe that is what made it feel so special. I only had to think of me and Noodle, mostly just me. Noodle is easy. His life is so regimented that I am on automatic when it comes to him. I do have to plan on some cuddle time with him. He does best when we have these cuddle times. I hold him, stroke his coat, gently tug on his paws and give him a massage. He loves this. Who wouldn't? One of the kids had a  Guinea pig. When we stopped handling it , it became wild. I think humans and domesticated animals are like that.We all like being touched. Noodle, because if his impairments , needs this human touching so he feels secure. And I like to take the few minutes it takes to cuddle him. He lets me know when he has had enough. It's a win win for us both.
