Nothing piques my curiosity like a package addressed to me, so I was quite excited when one such package was delivered a couple of days ago. There were no signs identifying the sender, but I had no doubt who it was the minute Mama G helped me unpack the box by our tree.
The sender had to be Joyce, my wonderful godmother! Who else would be so thoughtful? The box contained a kit to grow my own organic pet grass, two all-natural toys designed to help me “stay in a good mood” (we’ll see about that!) and to keep my teeth (or in my case, tooth) clean, and a three-pack of sisal rope toys that promote “quiet self-entertainment” (sorry, but when I entertain myself, I like to make some noise!). As you can see from the thoughtful collection, Joyce cares a lot about me and my health.
I started playing with my new toys immediately. And to think Those Two thought I had given up playing in my senior years! They just aren’t as good as Joyce at picking out cool toys.
Later that evening, exhausted from the excitement of the day, I discovered a new use for one of the ropes. It felt like a security blanket as I rested on the floor with it surrounding me. And who wouldn’t feel secure, knowing that he or she is so loved? Thanks Joyce!
