Happy New
Year! Our best gift this holiday season,
as always, is having our Munchkins with us. We are thrilled our little Dasa is starting the new year
with us. Although we hope for many more days together, we are ever mindful of how
precious each day is.
Since I believe
Ivan and Dasa are always on the nice list, the
Munchkins got early Christmas presents just after Thanksgiving. When the
boxes containing the cave beds arrived, I thought there might be a period of
adjustment for the Munchkins as they got used to these potentially dangerous
new objects. Ivan had no such misgivings. He helped me open the first box,
and I had barely moved the cardboard out of the way and put his cave bed under
the desk before he eagerly climbed in and snuggled into the depth. Safe to say
the cave bed meets Ivan’s approval. He loves his cave bed and makes it clear
that we should’ve thought of this a long time ago. It isn’t as though he previously had to sleep
on the bare floor, but this is so much better than his stack of regular dog
beds and blankets, and now he doesn’t have to climb the stairs to the big beds. Happy sigh.
Sweet little Dasa
was not so easily won over by these big scary things that might well eat
her. At first she thought maybe she
could share Ivan’s new bed, that wouldn’t be so scary, but Ivan was having none
of it. She then decided she could sleep
in a regular bed next to the cave bed, although she was still a little
apprehensive; it might inhale her when she wasn’t looking. Gradually, she
became a little braver and eased into the very front of the cave bed. Now I come home to find both of them
ensconced in their cave beds.
May you all stay
as warm and content as Ivan and Dasa in their cave beds.
