Smokey took care of me

Smokey has had a busy week. Over the weekend he helped us assemble the new cabinet. Then he busied himself cuddling up to me since I got sick on Monday. It was the worst cold I've had in a while. My body ached to the point I couldn't move and I felt chilled to the bone. Smokey must have sensed something was up because I was basically sleeping the whole day. On the worst night, Tuesday night, he climbed into bed with us. Then he stayed in bed with me the whole morning while I continued sleeping. He did his own thing in the afternoon, but in the evening, he was back at my side on the couch. First on the arm of the couch and then next to me on the seat. After I fed him his last meal for the day, he settled in next to me again. You should have seen the look on his face when I got up to go to bed. "Where are you going?" And watched with forlorn eyes as I moved away from him. As soon as he figured out I was going to bed, he, too, joined me in bed. This is the sweetest Smokey has been in a while. Who knew he could be so sweet again?

Or maybe Smokey was just taking advantage of my warm body. We're still under the stronghold of the polar vortex after all.
