I just looked at the calendar. I didn’t do a single post last week. One day just blended into another. Mom says that it takes a week before all of us realize that the trip was tiring. Of course she also says she read that cats can sleep 18 hours of the 24 each day! That sounds about right. She added that old dogs can sleep 14 hours. I know Fred sleeps more than that silly puppy, Missy. Mom worries about Fred because there are times he is extremely hard to wake when she wants him to go out. More than once she has had to check that he is still breathing. Of course there are times when she worries about Dad the same way. I don’t like to think about either of those things. I only want to think about Fred telling me how much he enjoyed walking on the beach when we went to Galveston. I didn’t want to walk on the beach. The waves were too loud. But he did smile when he talked about it. He doesn’t smile as much anymore. That also worries Mom.
