Bridget is sleeping over and Teddy and Charlie are beyond thrilled. They made a bed for her on the floor this morning around 6am-8 hours before she arrived- and have asked if she can stay tomorrow night too. She told me that as is going to have the movie PussN Boots forever and the following joke:
Bridget: Knock knock
ALB/C/T: Whose there?
Bridget: Clock
ALB/C/T: Clock who
Bridget: Aren’t you glad I didn’t say pear?

Whenever Scottie is upset Nell comes over, even walking in from another room, to see if she is ok and offer her something to soothe her. Today it was a tiny silk bag. Often it is one of Nell’s bunnies. The sweetness and generosity is staggering.

ALB “That is sad. You like deer.”
Teddy “We can have a pet as a small one? That’s a good idea. I love deer. I need a pet. I need a deer. A small one”
