It’s been a peaceful couple of days. The Professor is away doing his ‘professing’ thing, and the hounds and I are enjoying the quietude. There is recovery due to my spirit I believe, having attended to the physical recovery already.
Pearl Bailey has been a model child for me. Nary a bad deed, nor even a bad intention exemplified. You will note, however, she has taken up residence in the Professor’s chair, and hey…I am not even going to scold her (ever heard the saying ‘when the cat’s away…?’) Well, that just about sums it up for the energy vibe we got going on down here on the island.
Pearl Bailey and her lifelong companion, Ella Fitzgerald, have been given a great deal of latitude thus far. I even allowed them to bark at the garbage collectors this morning. Yes, I allowed it. Now, this behavior would not be tolerated if the Professor was in residence, no, there would be early morning bellows uttered from the upper sanctum of the house that’s for sure. But I decided to let the dogs be dogs and allow them to enjoy their freedom too. Why should I be the only one who benefits from doing as I please?
I’m not saying that Pearl Bailey isn’t still possessed- she is, and actually was born that way. It is in her nature to disturb and get dirty any chance she gets. But she does have a streak of decency in her as witnessed by her oh so lovely welcoming home ‘I missed you my person’ posture. So I thought why not give her a wide berth, after all I am spreading the wealth of freedom!
Since I am feeling so extraordinarily thankful, I wish something wonderful to happen to you today. And when that something wonderful finds you I hope you feel ‘glee’, and think of me – the sender!
Now, the Professor is due home tomorrow, so business as usual will resume down here in our little island domain. But until then…it’s ladies first!
