Guardian of the pillows

Last night I added pillow cases to all the pillows because I finally found the box they had been hiding in. Topaz was not to sure about having her pillows altered. So of course she came and got right in the middle of where I was trying to put pillow cases on the pillows.

We started a pattern. She laid on top of every last pillow determined that I was not going to get one.

I would return the now altered pillow to her.

 She would inspect the pillow in the same manner that a mother would inspect its precious puppy being given returned to the litter.

Thus giving me an opportunity to grab the next pillow.


And so continued of me dressing a pillow, returning it and snatching the next while she was distracted until all 9 pillows were dressed.

This is the photo I took of her "guarding" the pillows after I dressed them all. The one that her head is on (which is her attempt at keeping me from taking it away again) was the pillow I had just returned.

After ensuring that no pillows were harmed while being dressed and that their clothing did not effect how comfortable they were she seems to have adjusted just fine to having dressed pillows (again).

I am not sure why she was so concerned about having her pillows dressed because up until are latest move (when I misplaced the box that contained all the cases) all of our pillows were dressed. 

She did, however, require that she sleep with 7 pillows last night. Five that went under her body and two that she used for her head.

At least she shared two with me...albeit with some protest on her part.

Riding in Cars

Topaz has been on many car rides in her few short years.

Her first car ride was when we brought her home in a "blizzard". Well what is considered a "blizzard" for Virginia.

There have been car rides to the vets. Her least favorite of all car rides.

Car rides to parks, rivers and lakes. 

Car rides to Grossmama's for playdates.

Car rides from Virginia to Tennessee and back again.

However, the most recent of trips has been the random car rides on back roads just because we can.

It has been too hot/humid to be going for walks,  unless you go are dawn and most days I am working so that is out.

So instead we have taken to doing country drives. 

We stop and say hello to local pastures of cows and horses.

The deer grazing in fields by the side of the road.

We have said hello to a few goats.

We have even seen a chicken cross the road which Topaz wanted to get out and chase.

My love affair with pillows.

I have a thing for pillows. 

I love them.

 Momma has nine pillows and is always saying she does not have enough because I am hogging them all.

I usually spend my afternoon snoozing on all the pillows.

This is the photo Momma took of me snoozing on some of the pillows today.

Don't worry the other pillows were not left out.

I had them arranged at the foot of the bed and took turns sleeping on all the pillows.

 

Momma says to look at my back foot and you can see me sleeping with my bone. 

I always sleep with a toy but I usually have it positioned so it is not easy to spot.

However, occasionally I decide Momma makes the best pillow. When I decide that I sleep like this:

 

How do you sleep? Are you a pillow lover and hog like me?
