Something is just a little different this morning. I woke up late. When I was in the bathroom, Bella came to the door of the bedroom and looked at me. (There is a direct line of sight between the bedroom and the bathroom.) I went to her and petted her head. She stood for it, and then looked meaningfully down the hall. Ok, Bella, let's go for a walk, I said. She comfortably allowed me to put on her halter, and we did our first short walk of the day. I'm not sure I've been able to approach her and pet her indoors like that before-most often she turns around and goes back a few steps as I approach before gaining the courage to walk down the hall to the foyer.
Inside, after the various pills and treats and cat feedings were done, I sat at my computer. Having set the last portion of Bellas breakfast in a bowl behind me, I began to work. Her dry kibble mixed with water comes after the pills in liverwurst, and the pulverized pills in wet food. Shortly, Bella gets up to eat her kibble. My cat Circe comes in to investigate, so I turn to watch. Meeting my eyes briefly, Bella paused and then continued eating. She did not return to her bed because I looked at her. I watch intrepid Circe continue to try and figure out this big, nervous bear looking animal that has come to live in her midst.
