Steven: November 2005 Archives

Have you ever watched a baby who won't take no for an answer and MUST spit and lap into your glass trying to get a drink? While the adult tries to tip the glass just enough not to spill it? Keep that image in mind. No matter where Steven is in the evenings there is always a glass of water never too far away. He drinks alot of water, even with his meals. If I am going to the kitchen I will refill his glass as will he. At bedtime the glass is empty. Mr. Darcy, this morning Last night I sat on the couch and Steven had the kitten in his lap over on the other small sofa. The kitten curled in his lap. The kitten rolled and tumbled along side of his stretched out legs. The kitten walked up his chest and rubbed its head against his face. Steven drank his water, absently petting the kitten while we watched Law and Order. I checked my email and looked up to see ... Steven holding his glass at an angle letting HIS kitten lap the last of his water from the glass. He has no one but himself to blame for every single bad habit every animal we feed has developed.
