it's sweet milly. i'm walking her again one day a week.
a rainy drizzle had begun so we sat down outside sullivan street bakery and waited for it to stop so we could wend our way home. (i bought a jelly bomboloni inside and ate half while waiting - at home cricket found it in my bag unbeknownst to me and ate every little crumb! only three jelly patches were left on the rug as evidence.)
we passed a funny sign and milly stopped to agree that she was still a little offended . . by what?
i wasn't in on the war plan group chat, she said.
she's really so gentle though, i don't think she would have liked it.
So nice you can walk her again. Does she still dislike the stairs? Cricket is very naughty!
ReplyDeleteYes he is!!! And, yes, she dislikes the stairs! She doesn't mind going down, but is unable walk up. She genuinely seems distressed . . I tried coaxing her but finally gave up and offered to carry her. She actually kind of holds on to me with her front paws. I was able to hoist her onto my hip a bit, which made it easier. Since she sits up with her paws on my right shoulder, she doesn't feel like a dead weight and it's not so bad.
DeleteMaybe her joints hurt going up?
DeleteI wonder . .
