I know this feeling. Faye did this to me and being deaf no manner of
calling does any good. When she finally woke up I was so relieved. She
looked at me like what?? I felt like saying, "are you alright sweetie???"
and when she yawned yes, my next words would have been, "good because
daddy is going to strangle you!!" Gotta love'm. :)
Regards,
Hawk & Patrick,
Salem, Faye, Bandit, Bowser and Bailey the ferts
Pyewacket the cat
and Smokey the African Grey
Blessings to all animals great and small and those of us who love and
adore them.
