pamukaw



when she first came here, Amanda just rushed down the stairs and run around the kitchen, living room and our bedroom. lately, though, she wouldn't leave her comfort zone upstairs. she would give us that usual "lambing" when we go upstairs, when we give her food or when we clean her toilet, but she will never come with us downstairs. 

so jukka and i decided that she will start eating her food in the kitchen and she will sleep with us. we even provided an extra toilet for her so she wouldn't have to run upstairs when nature calls.

huh! well, she didn't run upstairs or anywhere else when it was time for her to pee, because she just peed right in the middle of our bed. i felt her paws scratching on the upper part of the blanket and when i turned to the other side i felt that warm, wet pool of Amanda's pee. i turned on the lights and jukka woke up. he brought Amanda back upstairs and we changed the sheets. in the middle of the night! 

i stared on the ceiling for about a couple of hours before going back to sleep. 

i was half awake when jukka said that he's going to work and asked if he'll take Fasu with him. i said no. Fasu can stay with me and i'll take for a walk. then i went back to sleep. 

at half past 8, i heard Fasu's steps going to the bedroom and i didn't move a bit. but after a heart beat, she was giving me kisses, sweet, but awful kisses! hahaha! i decided to get up and said good morning to Fasu. and just when i was awake and started to make food, she went back to her bed and wouldn't get up even if i tickle her kili-kili! just how nice is that?!

motherhood is equal to not having enough sleep.

wish granted





a year ago, i wished for two things:
love and a cat...
and i got my wishes, with a bonus of a dog!
i couldn't ask for more.
 
thank you for coming into my life,
jukka, fasu and amanda

Fasu on ice



walked on ice today with the captain and Fasu. 
we went by ship on this lake in the summer,
so it's a totally new experience for me.

love does not consist in gazing at each other,
but in looking outward together in the same direction.
