Loki



If ever a pet has a fitting name, it is Loki. In my son's house, he is a god.

Story is he was my ex-wife's acquisition when she lived with them in Dugway, UT. She moved on but the cat stayed.

Despite my declaring I don't sleep with males, every time I woke up he would be on the bed.

He decided the keyboard of my laptop was the most desirable place to sleep when I was foolish enough to leave it on and open. Found myself looking at pages I didn't know existed.

Later today will return to Colorado. Wonder how long it will take to get all the cat hair out of my luggage? Loki's two reluctant subjects, Sasha and George, have made contributions. They didn't have decent sleeping quarters until my open duffle became available.

With four grandkids, three cats, and four dogs the tasks of hugs, tickles, petting, and flinging blasted felines off every surface is daunting. 

Then there is the matching witticisms with the daughter in law. A mismatch. Something like a recruit up against a brigade.

I need a vacation from my vacation.

Such is the world with cats. We have four cats and two dogs.,, I know your angst. Loki looks like a god with that white flame between his eyes. Such a cool face. Travel mercies, and hope you can make it home without snow delays.

Seems Denver is having a heat wave and high winds. Landing at DIA is often an "adventure".

If you were a real sport, you'd leave your duffle (with contents) behind for Sasha and George... And your computer for Loki to enjoy. As is, you've spoiled them with your visit.

I know what you mean by needing a vacation from a vacation.

You are lucky someone didn't try to pack on of them for a present to Grandpa.

That is why I have baggage locks.

But you love it. All that attention. All those memories. Take the hair and make a hat. A warm one. And maybe you need to take one home?

A second cat? Not on my watch.

You're just upset that Loki's more tech savvy than you! Lol
