Seasonal Changes with Lily, Moods, Snuggle Bunny, Blue Tail Skink gets out Alive

 Seasonal changes are coming, 

moving in slowly as always, 

but coming. 

Leaves are falling, not since

fall is close but cause we

 are so freak'n dry. Got a little

rain shower on Wed. but, it did not

even register in my rain gauge. 

 

Spider webs are thick, grass is 

crunchy, flowers are giving up 

the fight, and Lily is doing her

seasonal behavior as fall moves in.

What would that be?

She has started the curling up 

behind my knee sort of 

thing again and 

wanting to be close. Not on me, 

not in my lap, but close to me.

This starts taking place every

year around this time.

Not only has that started, I think 

she knows that time changes at

some point. This week, she

started waking me at 4. What she

don't understand, it is not bouncing

forward, so 4 will not be 5....

LILY, get with the program!

haha..

Actually, I think the early rise has

to do with me. 

You see, with me having been 

suffering the last 2.5 months, we

are not playing like normal. She sleeps

and lays around more, with me, 

and I think the bust out

all involved waking me up 

at four is boredom. I have been

trying to play with her more, 

but I think she is playing off my

mood. 

I will say though, that

when she lays close and I reach

out to pet her, and those purrs start

low and amp up to some major

purrs, and I lay my head over

on her side, it's amazing. 

Not sure if she is trying to 

heal her mood or mine.

PURRS!

That sound to me is as

perfect as a baby laughing.

Lily, she has a great purr,

loud and goes on and on.

Misty, you either have to have

your hand on her to feel it

or lay your ear on her. She has

such a low purr..

But if you want to talk

snuggles, Misty is your girl.

I was watching tv in bed last

night and here comes my girl.

She wants on that side of me,

we do this whole routine thing 

where she pushes her head into

my hand. I scratch a bit but

she really don't like

the top of her head touched,

she likes the scratching along

side of her neck, then she 

will walk forward, till I 

can scratch above the tail. 

Next, I usually get a butt in the 

face and I finally tell her

that is enough. She curls up 

in a ball and lays down. 

Stretching out comes next.

She will sleep with me

like this for hours. 

I usually wake in the wee hours of

the morning, laying like this,

but my arm is thrown over

Misty River.

It's so easy spoiling the furs.

You do something once or twice

and to them, that is a given, the 

way it should be from there

on out. It took me forever

to break Lily from wanting

to be rubbed and brushed in 

the sink or tub. 

Sink for sure as soon

as I started having issues

with a clogged drain. I ended

up taking the stopper out and 

installing one that catches hair.

Let's just say, according to my

brush and my drain, it is 

a wonder I am not bald.

On Friday, I heard some noise,

I looked over and Lily 

was chasing a catch.

I ended up catching it.

I was surprised that it still 

had its tail. Most of them

don't get away from my 

girls with the tail in tact.

He ran off. Seemed to be okay.

Blue Tailed Skink.

I am glad cause last week,

I never saw the one Lily let run

under the dryer. Then the week

before, I was not aware that

Misty had one till it was 

to late and dead in the floor.

Poor babes. 

Pets and critters,

fun.

But, getting one out 

alive is a win.
