Well the next day didn't get better for Mom. The next day, and the day after that, Mom had one of those special headaches that keeps her in bed and makes her sick. The first day she was able to get up, the main computer stopped working, just zup, it up and froze then tried to fix itself and finally died. Mom says it's toast. I think she's being silly because it doesn't look like toast to me. Mom eats toast and the two things look nothing alike. Anyway, she went off to play with Tad but when she and Piper got home, Piper was helping Mom to walk. Mom had somehow injured her back and was in so much pain her eyes were leaking, I hate it when that happens. Pip put Mom in bed and that's where she's been for the last six days. At first she could hardly move at all, Pip had to help her into the bathroom and everything. Mom made lots of scary sounds and lots of ugly scary faces. Mom left the house twice to go see someone called chiropractor. She should see him more I think because he helped her feel a little bit better. She's been icing her back every hour and a half and taking lots of medication. Ginger and I have been taking really good care of her. Ginger keeps her feet warm and licks her tears when she has them and I get to make her smile. I've got to help her have lots of naps too and help her read. I don't like seeing her hurt but I like the extra time with her.
Know what else I like about Mom? Every single night there is a "Goodnight" routine Piper and she go through. Everyone gets "I love yous" and "goodnights". But, long after Pip has gone to bed, Mom always comes out of her room, checks all the doors and windows, checks on Pip, smiles at her, then she always comes over to me, picks me up and gives me extra goodnight loves. Ginger follows her of course, that's part of her job, so I guess, really Ginger is the last one in bed. I like how Mom loves us. And I like how Ginger watches over us even when she's not feeling her best. Before I came here, all I knew was cold, hunger and fear. I had no idea there could be this kind of sweetness in life.
Oh and I made a new friend! Tad's Mom brought over dinner for Mom and Pip last night and she wanted to meet me. She liked me and I liked her. She had a nice feel about her.
