Tom: Only a few days left till Christmas and right, now, we are mostly grateful that #1 hasn't had a meltdown...yet.... She has too much to do, and too much pending from before. And we have 15 people coming over on Friday evening. It is a pot-luck dinner but we are hosting, so the place must at least look vaguely presentable. And of course, unexpected work always arrives when there is no time to do it! Oh, and it's raining non-stop!
Yesterday afternoon, we rushed over to see the Vs and then dropped in on Dr. C to give her some Christmas goodies. Now that the Vs are so much closer to where her practice is, she will be looking after them too!
We are all doing our bit for #1. Even Tama-Chan hopped on to her bed this morning for a cuddle, and Sei-Chan has been giving her lots of attention. As for me, well, you know what they say about spaniel eyes, don't you?
We can imagine the dizziness just from your descriptions but we know all of you will take care of your #1 very well.

Great eyes, Tommy! Nice to give #1 some moral support.
ReplyDeleteSpaniel eyes rank up with the Siberian stare ;-)

PeeEssWoo: Tommy!!! It arrived on Wednesday but we didn't get a chance to open it yet - hope those air holes were sufficient!
Tommy you show your most purrfect spaniel eyes in this picture :)
ReplyDeleteHave a pawsome weekend !
Maybe time to wish you a Furry Catmas too :)
No. What DO they say about Spaniel eyes?
ReplyDeleteHi, Tommy dear! xoxo
That they make you feel all warm and fuzzy. We love looking at your eyes Tommy and your ears make us giggle. Fenris has a few curly ear hairs like that.
ReplyDeleteFrom a breed description of English Springer Spaniels: "This dog's expression is alert, kindly and trusting, just think of the expression 'spaniel eyes'. When they look up at you with those deep brown or dark hazel eyes they could get away with anything."
ReplyDeleteI'm sure between the kitty snuggles and looking into those beautiful spaniel eyes that #1 will feel better and everything will be just fine.

Sounds like you guys are making sure all runs smoothly - as good kittehs and puppehs always do! (Shhh don't tell #1 who's really in charge, 'k?)
ReplyDeleteOh Tommy, you are so right, those eyes would make anyone feel better and relax a little bit. Great pictures and glad all of you are taking care of #1.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you can help out. We don't want meltdowns this time of year
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
You are all very wise to help #1 relax. It is hard not to be stressed when there are too many things to do at once.
ReplyDeleteTell your human when things get too hectic, to just stop for a moment and take a few slow, deep breaths! My human, who was a fitness and yoga writer for a few years (until kitty business overtook it!), says it works wonders! I know your dinner party will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt might be very busy and stressful for#1...but I'm sure all the cuddling and your beautiful eyes make her feel relaxed :-)
ReplyDelete"Perfect" dinner parties are rarely that. Perfection comes from a warm, welcoming, relaxed environment, guests of all species with joy in their hearts, and no value judgments or expectations except what you, yourself, can add to the festivities. Your #1's party will brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOh Tommy what sweet, beautiful eyes! Absolutely captivating! You could steal the dinner roast and no one could possibly reprimand you. Love to all.
Good thing #1 has all you kitties and Tommy!!! We know you will do your best to keep her calm :)
ReplyDeleteAs for those "spaniel eyes", we think they will mesmerize #1 and she will calm down.Just don't get her too relaxed,heehee

Good eyes Tom, that has got to help ease her tension.
ReplyDeleteDude, just wanted to thank you and your family for your well wishes for Allred.
Between you and me....I am kinda glad he is ok.
