Buster and Buffy (the cats) have their place in the window. Bear and Baxter (the boys) hang back and let the Baby and Bug (the girls, the yorkies) take center stage. I pull up in the driveway, and I can hear the silence, it is deafening. They are gathered at the back door, waiting. I creep up the steps. When I reach the top I hit the remote lock on the key fob and it makes the beep sound. As soon as they hear the beep they cacophony begins. They bark like banshees. I step in and Bug dances and bounces on her two back feet. Baby bounces back and forth like a rocking horse, continuously, begging to be picked up. I have to find a way to pick them up simultaneously. I scoop up Bug and Baby turns around with her butt to me and waits, knowing that it is easier for me to get her around the tummy that way. And then the smooching starts. They get about 2 minutes. I set them down and then Baxter knows it is his turn and he gets picked up. He gets his 2 minutes and then Bear steps up and gets his serious head smooshing. Everyone gets a cookie. Bear and Baxter each gets one and Baby and Bug split one and Buster and Buffy get a sprinkle of cat treats. I take off the bra, hit the couch and my lap immediately fills up and we call it a day....ta da!!!
