A Tree Grows In Edinburgh

   This is our favourite time of year.  Scot and I are unapologetic Christmas people.  And this is our first one with Lucky, as we were away on holiday last Christmas.
   We like a huge Christmas tree, and we weren't sure how Lucky would react to it.  Our house is compact, and the kind of tree we like takes up a substantial amount of space.  We put some thought into how best to introduce this strange idea to him- the indoor tree.  Today was the day.

This came home.

This was the horrified reaction.

   He was completely nonplussed.  The look on his face said 'You know what? I like it. We should have bought one of these years ago. Now home, my second favourite place, is more like the park, my first favourite place!'.  We're going to leave it up bare for a week so we can map the trajectory of his tail before we place 350 mostly glass ornaments on it!   

 

Shop Talk

   I've really missed having Lucky at work with me on a Monday, and he wasn't entirely happy at home alone.  So last Sunday, I went off to Pets At Home, and purchased a huge, comfortable bed with padded sides, just like the one he has at home.  I took it to the salon with a slightly 'used' blanket from his bed at home, and took Lucky in with me the next day.
   He approached his new shop bed with slight trepidation, but soon jumped in.  He looked comfortable enough.

   I was feeling cautiously optimistic.  His tail curled round like this usually means comfort.  Ten minutes later, this.  And he didn't move all day.  He's back!

Fashion Plate

Really, it's the singular way to wear one's ears this season.
