And so as an addendum…a recap of Leo’s “sleep over” with “Dad” Dave…heh…heh…
As many of you already know…FD Peter has been going to bed with Foster Brofur Leo since he came to us on May 2nd….”my” Dad Peter always starts with reading a book…before “lights out”….so he lies on the bed in Leo’s hotel suite and reads…waiting for Leo to come to him for his nightly “snuggle under the chin” routine…eventually Leo comes and snuggles….under the chin, purrs, cleans, then goes off to his bed by the window…and Dad Peter says “good night” and leaves Leo and comes to bed with me and Mom Linda.
Welllllll…WHO would have ever thought last night with his “New” Dad Dave would be different…ummmm…except maybe Leo…so Dad Dave went to bed with Leo…
YUP!! nothing went according to the humans’ plans!!…heh…heh…
Dad Dave has been here several times…so Mom Linda and Dad Peter planned on having him spend the night last night…Saturday night…so Leo could have his Dad Dave “tuck him in” like FD Peter…and then Dad Dave and Leo were supposed to have a great time “bonding”….*snicker*
Well…usually Leo is fine once FD Peter leaves, about 1 AM…(what a foster Dad!!)…so Mom did not put her usual “tissue” in her ears…Dad Peter has a hearing issue so he doesn’t ever hear Leo when he whines “meows” at night…which he has not done for like weeks….
Fast forward…last night…Mom wakes up and elbows Dad Peter…”can you hear Leo?”…ahhh…”no…grumble”…minutes later…Mom to Dad…”can you hear him now??”…”ahhh…no…grumble”…
Finally at 4 AM…Mom wakes to hear Leo literally “body slamming” into the bedroom door in his hotel suite…Mom elbows Dad Peter…”we have to do something…Dad Dave can’t sleep…” Dad Peter is thinking…”yeah, so what else is news…neither can I???”…
So Dad Peter gets up and gets me, Savannah, and Leo, an “early” breakfast”…Dad Peter opens the door to Leos’ hotel suite and slides the food in…and then gives me mine…which I of course eat quietly…and then Dad Peter goes back to bed…
BWWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!…Next morning…we all learn that Leo started to eat the food…chomp, chomp, growl, grrr…chomp…chomp…grrr…merrwww, grrrr…chomp…” and so on…Leo ate…but he snarled and growled after ever bite!!!
Dad Peter and Mom Linda finally sleep until 7AM…and then learn that Dad Dave has not slept ALL NIGHT!!!
So all night long, literally, Leo was shocked to find someone other than FD Peter in his bedroom…so he jumped from the top of the cat tower onto the bed, then walked over Dad Dave, sniffed and learned it WAS NOT FD Peter, then went to his bed on other side of the human bed, then did the same route, back and forth all night long!!
Mom Linda, Dad Peter and Dad Dave laughed all Sunday AM about what Dad Dave’s first night with Cousin Leo had been like!! Dad Peter and Mom Linda both admitted at 6AM that they were worried that Dad Dave would say “I am so not taking this crazy clown cat!!”…and then Dad Dave just laughed…he and Leo will be just fine…but we still miss Leo…just sayin’
Paw Pats…Savannah
