A Day to Lay Around

I don’t know if I used appropriate tense in my subject, but who cares.

I thought I would give you an update on Molly after the horrendous post last night.

She had a semi-decent night of sleep after waking up around 12am.  She was sleeping with me, and I suddenly knew that she was awake.  We headed straight for the door, with her wobbling and limping.  She made it out and did her business, hustling as best she could to get back inside.

We went straight back to bed.

She has a place she hides when she wants to escape.  To get there, she has to jump on the bed and then off the other side.  It’s in a corner, only accessible via this route.

Despite her pain and bum leg, she went to her spot.  I understood.  It’s her place of safety.

That’s where she stayed the rest of the night/morning.  She woke up, went potty, and we crawled back into bed after seeing the kids off to school.  I called in to the school I was supposed to work at, explaining the situation with all of the sincerity I could muster.

Molly slept with her head on my leg until 12pm…a five-hour nap.  I didn’t dare move a muscle.  We both needed the rest.

After a quick jaunt to the bathroom, she resumed her position on the bed.  Pele joined her from the other room.  He loves both dogs and is very confused by the situation.

We all slept for another couple of hours.

I’m probably as messy looking as Molly.  I haven’t showered or changed out of my PJ’s yet.  I don’t anticipate doing so before the morning.  With my long, curly hair, you can only imagine what I must look like.  I won’t be winning the Mrs. America contest any time soon, that’s for sure.

I thank you for your prayers.  I’ve seen some of you on Plurk, and I can’t tell you how much your kind words mean to me.
