Phineas has been very vocal and whiney the past several days. We have tried to see what the issue is. He has been out. He has water, all of his basic needs are met. I figured it was because he hasn’t gotten the exercise he had gotten pre-flatness. So I have chalked up up to his 13 plus years of life and no exercise.
This morning I got up and the house was quiet. I went to the bathroom and when I came back, Phineas was laying in my spot on the couch. He is not allowed on the couch. He knows this. Especially not when he is not getting his weekly baths. I have super nose and I don’t want my couch to smell like dog.
I looked at his beautiful brown eyes that looked up at me and his sad “oops I forgot” expression. How do you get mad at that. I moved his bed next to me on the couch. I prewarmed his bed with the heating pad, and prewarmed his blanket. No. He is not spoiled. Of course he is spoiled. He has been a trusted friend and child safety officer for almost his entire life.
He snuggled in and laid right down. I think his out of sorts whining has been this problem. After about the first week on the couch, I moved his bed back across the room. He has always taken good care of his family.
2 more days!
