I have Oreo sleeping on my bed, Tessa laying on the floor beside me, and Joey purring on the back of the couch behind me. I feel so very blessed.

I’m still trying to tell if Tessa is particularily attached to me or if it is a coincidence. Cory has been home all day, and Tessa has been in my room the entire time - even when I locked her out for a little bit while I was eating, she layed outside the door. It might possibly be because Oreo is often here, as she is now - but during the day Oreo’s usually sleeping in the basement or on a couch in the living room. But Tessa’s always right here with me. Well, that first night I was home mom gleefully said, “The dog trainer is home!” Maybe Tessa’s picking up on that - at least with moderately submissive dogs I do well! She’s just such a sweetheart, though. Except for catching her secretly ripping into a cat toy… lol
