Good girls!

I am a person who is rarely sick (knocking on the woods did not quite work this time though) so I have kind of forgotten how uncomfortable it is to be under the weather. Somehow in my family it is always the case that the 1st person gets over the flu/cold in a snap, but people who get it later fall sick the most.

That is what I was last night -- sneezing non stop like a germ spaying gun while trying to breathe in some vital oxygen thru my mouth, and shivering like a winter leaf from the fever. The worst part was actually not what I had to go thru because of the flu but missing the usual noise and actions around me after dinner time. Worried that Caitey and the girls could catch the flu from me (I have no idea how to handle a sick puppy), I forbade them to step into my door. It was so boring sitting in bed by myself without hearing the girls argue endlessly over nothing or me yelling at Caitey to stop chewing stuffs in my room.

Can you believe it, I actually miss things that often annoy me? Guess that is what family is all about.

Looking downstairs, I could see the girls sitting on the hallway floor with Caitey while watching the Animal Planet. When asked why they would not sit on the much more comfortable couch, the girls said that since Caitey was not allowed to step into the family room, they did not want Caitey to feel left out so they decided to be there for her.

I am so glad that Caitey's human sisters are so.... ahh... human.
