My past few posts about the Poopanut have been about the things she does that drive me crazy. I feel kind of guilty about that so I decided to post about the things she does that I love.
1.) I love how in the morning, right after I hit the snooze button, and we are both in that awake but still sleepy state, she will lay facing me and put her little paw gently on my face and then smile and give me a kiss all the way from my chin to my forehead.
2.) I love the way she smells - even when she is stinky. I could just bury my face in her neck and smell her forever.
3.) I love the way she climbs up in my lap, gives me a kiss, then drapes herself across my shoulder so I can pat her back while she drifts off to sleep.
4.) I love the way she trusts me to protect her from all the evils in the world - the loud shrieks the cockatiels make, my 4 yr old, the vacuum cleaner, and the washing machine.
5.) I love the way she stands on my chest and semi-patiently waits for me to haul myself out of bed on the weekends to feed her breakfast.
6.) I love the way she comes in the bathroom with me to protect me from the toilet monster, or to stand guard while I bathe to make sure I don't get sucked down the drain.
7.) I love the way she is so patient with me and will be quiet and calm and gently lick my tears when I am crying because I still miss my Annie-Belle. She lets me know that she knows how much I love her and that it is OK with her for me to miss her older sister that she never met. She doesn't even get mad or exasperated when I occasionally call her Annie-Belle instead of Susanah.
Those are just SOME of the things I love about little miss Scarlet Susanah Belle - the best little yorkie girl a mommy could ever wish for.
