Little Guy had a tough adjustment to our move. We have a special formula we (mainly me) follow each day to keep him comfortable and happy. In addition to his five sets of eye-drops of three medications, we shower him with affection and praise each night before bedtime. It does not guarantee he will sleep through the night, but it has been proven effective. There is nothing that warms my heart more than watching Mad Dog make over Little Guy. It is the sweetest.
Little Guy gets a lot of leeway during the day. He is allowed to be cranky. He is allowed to be snippy. He is allowed to beg and whine for food at the table.
He can do anything he wants.
Most of the time he chooses to nap. This makes it easy for everyone.
I am surprised at how unquestioning my devotion is to him. I do not judge him for his cranky missteps.
He has followed me around enough through the five years we’ve had him to earn this loyalty.
He shows me what love can teach us.
Be true, be loyal and you will always, always be loved.
