My last official task for 2013 was to clean out the big mess
of shredded foam Gimme created while trying to make a nest for her and baby. Naturally I didn't want to leave her without a place
to snuggle securely when home alone or while I work on the computer.
So I gathered a bunch of stray stuff, which should have been thrown out long ago, then packed and stacked
it in just the right way to create a nice cocoon.
Gimme spent a few minutes thoroughly inspecting my nest-making efforts before deciding it might be adequate.
She got in, turned about 20 circles and curled up. Just two minutes later, having apparently decided it was baby-worthy, she went to retrieve him from the couch. Fortunately I had
my camera nearby and was able to get this picture. I think she looks content -- even baby is smiling.
BTW this ability to eventually find uses for junk is
why I never can throw anything away. Every year I make New Year Resolutions to de-junk-afy my life, but somehow it never makes a noticeable difference. I think the lengthy history of variable schedule reinforcement for junk hoarding is getting in the way of my best intentions. <sigh>
