My cat was named Sambuca and she would also get into bed, but only would sleep at the foot. I enjoyed reading about Charlie's antics and glad he is such a good companion.

A lot going on in the world right now, the media repeats, repeats, repeats. It really is a form of brainwashing. There is a certain news channel I just refuse to watch. I think it is atrocious.

Yes, my friend and I often complain about the way cats turn their noses up if we try to give them something new. <br /><br />I wish it was hot here, although we have been promised a couple of dry days. Big deal, it's June and so far we've had just three days of hot weather.

One of my favorite things about Jerry is that he would get under the bed covers and cuddle with me at bedtime. And I used to love to hear his gentle purring because it would lull me to sleep.<br /><br />They are picky eaters though, aren'Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-77142594742383391162018-06-17T12:36:13.645+01:002018-06-17T12:36:13.645+01:00Agree about that on Television.
