Dad is still in the hospital. I really miss him. Mom says that when he comes home, his pacemaker will allow him to pick me up. That is important, because I really want to whisper in his left ear like I always do. Miko hasn’t learned about how I do that to let Dad know how much I love him. She had only learned to sit on his lap and purr. Hopefully she will go back to doing that, but having me in his arms is more important. It encourages him to be up and moving. That pacemaker should help him feel more like doing that. He had been so tired all of the time before he went to the hospital. I do worry that now he will need to watch for Miko under his feet. She moves so fast. Kittens can be such a pain!

Mom says that this is Thanksgiving week. I know that in the past, she has invited friends for an early dinner on Wednesday night. She explained that it started because my human brother, Doug, had gone to sleep while driving from the house in Wenatchee to his house. He was too full of turkey. By switching to Wednesday dinner, he could drive over on his day off and then pack sandwiches on Thursday for his drive home. He always has to work on Friday. Mom decided that she could put her feet up to watch the Macy’s Day Parade because they could have leftovers for lunch and dinner. I’ll admit that I like have a bite or two of turkey that falls off when she is slicing it. This year, she said that she would cook that turkey when Dad comes home. That will be something we can all be thankful for. I’ll keep you updated!
