On Sunday morning Molly's younger brother fed me because Molly was too poorly to come downstairs. He didn't get up til late so I had to wait for my breakfast. I was really good about it though & didn't make a fuss. He walked me that afternoon. On Monday our neighbour walked me twice & yesterday Molly's parents took me out. I don't mind going for walks with other people but it's not the same as going out with Molly so I hope she's better soon.
On Sunday Molly's older brother & a couple of her friends visited & on Monday one of her friends called round again. I was excited to see all of them & made sure they knew it! The most exciting thing though was when Molly's parents came home in the early hours of Monday morning. I was so pleased to see them, I couldn't contain myself! They were very happy to see me too, apparently they'd missed me.
While Molly was home alone I took my job of guarding her very seriously. On one occasion a neighbour knocked on the front door when Molly was asleep so I made a lot of noise to make sure Molly knew. Apparently she would have stayed in bed but because I was making such a racket she had to get up, oops! At another time a friend of Molly's stopped at the end of the drive to talk to someone so Molly didn't realise she was there but I did so alerted her. I also tried to scare two salesmen off but silly Molly insisted on answering the door to them. I make sure I sound really scary when someone comes to the door but once Molly welcomes them in & I know they're friendly I look for attention from them instead.
When Molly spent a while sat on the floor behind the front door the other day (because she was poorly & wasn't able to get any further into the house after going round to the shop) I lay with her, keeping an eye on both her & the door.
Yesterday Molly was telling her mum how I seem to know when I can jump on her (& lick her face) when she's lying in bed & when she's feeling especially poorly so I shouldn't. Then I went & spoiled that theory (I was bored!) by jumping on Molly when she was asleep in bed & then jumping on her mum who was asleep on the sofa in Molly's bedroom. I did the same thing again a short while later but Molly was awake that time. Her mum wasn't though - or at least she wasn't until I jumped on her & licked her!
I've been causing mischief (as usual) over the last couple of days by stealing socks & slippers when they've been left where I can get at them. I've also been very 'helpful' when Molly's dad was doing odd jobs in the house & garden, such as vacuuming. Molly doubled over with laughter when I play bowed to the vacuum cleaner! Talking of causing mischief, Molly had to cut some matts out of the fur on my tummy yesterday. I made that very difficult for her because I just wanted to chew the scissors!
We've been continuing to make progress on the duration of my "stay" & I can now do it for 15 seconds.
My favourite place to rest/sleep at the moment is on the floor of Molly's parents' bedroom. Here are a few photos.
