Jordan feeling better

Jul 16, 2014 18:40

Jordan is feeling better much of the time. The antibiotic he is on makes him feel icky, but he seems to be acclimating to it and I try to time the doses to his natural "down" times. The painkiller clearly helps - he's back to gnawing on things, and even occasionally eating small amounts of crunchy food. We spend lots of playtime together, during which he is his active, curious, boundary-pushing, feisty, ingratiating, explorer self.

I do not know how to explain how very much it tickles to have a rat stick his furry wiggly whiskery nose into your belly button.

Nor how much it makes me giggle to watch him gallop across a surface toward me, or how cute he is when he pokes his head out from underneath or behind whatever contoured surface he is currently exploring.

I've never been much of a giggler. Jordan makes me smile every day, and often gets me to giggle while he's at it. And the nose in the belly button? That invokes a girlish yelp. :)

jordan the rat, joys
