The Seniors no longer join me on the bed, and since I have a twin bed, this is a good thing. I spend time on the floor with them. Unlike the younger set, The Seniors loathe having their photo taken.

Harrigan sleeps mostly at my feet but does snuggle next to me on the pillow. Haaskins sleeps, pressed against my chest while Colonel Deeds spoons my back with his paw over my shoulder and his chin on my neck. It’s warm at times, but comfortable in other ways.
