Several years ago I had a dream that Brian and I had a cat and he was named Dragon. I can't remember anything about what the cat looked like or anything else, but the name stuck in my mind.
Last night, after we went to bed, Dragon was doing a considerable amount of crying and whining. He was sitting by the gate that blocks his access to the upstairs. I went down to sit with him for a minute and tried to get him to play or get interested in his dinner, but he just came right back to the gate. We could clearly hear him pawing, scratching, and biting at the cardboard we have over the gate slats (because they're too big and he could walk through otherwise). Brian got up to reinforce one corner where Dragon could poke his head through. Later I heard more scratching and crying. I was listening for his crying when I heard something rattling on my nightstand. I couldn't figure out what could be making that noise. Brian couldn't hear it, but he suggested maybe it was the dishwasher. But my ears know where noises are coming from, and it was coming from my nightstand. All of the sudden I realized it was Dragon purring. I turned on my light and he was down by the side of my bed (next to the nightstand), and had probably been thinking about jumping up on us.
We went to the Taste of Madison on Saturday. It kind of sucked. It was at least half chain restaurants. I don't go to the Taste of Madison to have Little Caesar's, Red Lobster, Abuelo's, and all the other big chains. I go for things like Buraka and Bandung. There was at least one of those state fair style Gyro stands too. Sheesh. At least you don't have to pay except parking if there's nothing you want to eat, you just waste an hour or so of your life.

He's been getting into a lot of trouble. He's mostly just chewing on things he shouldn't (cords, curtains, or hands and feet).
I promise not to log every day of Dragon's life. Really, I do. Want to read more? See the archive of past stories. |
