Cupid Misses Out

We have been working uber hard to get/keep Henry in his "happy" routine that this has meant that Cupid' routine has been a little upended. The morning routine used to include a 10-15 minute stint of her getting her special brushing time. Sadly, now, this time has been the first thing to be sacrificed when we start to slip in Henry's routine or if he gets extra needy. Cupid makes no bones about her displeasure with missing out on her brushing time. She is so smart, though, that she has actually figured out the plan. And the plan is to get Henry settled on his pillow and sneak out of the house right after he is chilling on his pillow.

With this discovery, Cupid has taken to blackmailing and sabotage. On days when she does not get her brushing she will be sure to cause more racket just as Henry is starting to settle. She will meow extra loudly, go in and out of the doggy door causing curious noises to Henry, get up close to Henry and sniff him, "conveniently" be starving and need to eat (her food is near Henry's bed) and this of course creates wafting smells that entice him or worst, she will be sure to poop (disgustingly creating the MOST enticing smell of all for Henry).

Cupid's antics have secured her place in the routine pecking order now, though. We are finding ways to get ALL pet care needs done. She cannot go without her brushing for even ONE day. We will all pay the price if the little girl has been without her luxury.

Seems crazy, though, doesn't it? She LOOKS so sweet and innocent! She has a name equated with LOVE. She is a senior plus. And even with all of these factors, she is still one mischievous and manipulative wittle puddy tat.
