Conversation on Christmas Eve with my Mom
I saw my Mom put a rope toy & rawhide bones in a gift.
Rabbit: Oh my god! Is that for Figo! (My bro's dog) Did you actually buy Figo a present!?
Mommy: *embarrassed* Well yes.
Rabbit: I am so not going to let Xander & Loki know about this. It would break their little hearts that you got Figo a gift but have never gotten them one.
Mom: *flustered* Well, your brother is bringing Figo....
Rabbit: Oh, I'll bring the furry boys. You want me to do that. Dad will love it.
Mom: No! Don't bring them.
Rabbit: Yeah, I thought as much. You love Figo more. My poor boys. They are so going to cry.
Mom: Oh stop it!
Actually it's cute the way my Mom, who is not a pet person, has taken to my kittys and to Figo. I find that she talks to all of them and has done a good job of taking care of my cats when I go away. Even so much as making sure they get some good scratches. She brought my Sis in Law with her one time when I was on vacation and I was told she talked them up and was very happy to show them off.
She's also now currently fish sitting for a tenant of hers and I have a feeling as it's been over 3 weeks they are going to end up in permanent care with her. No matter how much she talks about flushing them I know she's probably talks to them on occasion since they are in the kitchen with her.
So cute.
