Today was my first day off after working 5 days straight.  With Dennis
away too, Vino didn't have much company during the days lately.  So
today he was super duper affectionate.  I must have gotten up a hundred
times to let him in and out of the back yard.  It was a cold and eerie
day so it was no wonder Vino couldn't make up his mind about where he
wanted to be!
But then I got involved in designing something on the computer, and Vino
was pissed because I would only scritch him for about 1 minute at a
time.  But since it was at least every 10 minutes, he still got quite a
bit of scritching over the course of the day!
Anyway, the evening rolled around and I plopped down on the couch to
watch TV.  Vino was glued to my chest the whole time.  Saw some plastic
surgery show where some ex-stripper woman got her FFF's reduced to mere
DD's.  Vino agreed that it would not be good for a catslave to have such
huge plastic bazoomas because it would create a very uneven sleeping
surface.
Finally, I carefully slid out from underneath Vino and tiptoed to the
computer.  I was playing Dynomite when I heard the weirdest croaking
sound.  I thought, "Oh, it's the frogs croaking in the drain pipes
again!".  But then I realized...wait a minute...I'm not in Thailand
anymore!  There's not likely to be any loud croaking frogs around.  Last
I heard the cane toad has not reached Western Australia yet :-)  I
paused the game and realized the croaking was coming from Vino, zonked
out on the couch where I'd left him.  He's not usually a snorer, but
tonight he sure was making up for lost time!
