Mia was laying on the blanket on top of her litter box cabinet when Dukee jumped up onto the side table.
Dukee walked down to the end of the table and looked at Mia, “what cha doing?”
“Taking a bath and sunning myself,” Mia said as she looked back.
“The sunshine looks warm,” Dukee said.
“It is warm,” Mia licked the fur on her side.
Dukee looked out the window and watched as a beautiful yellow and black butterfly fluttered around the Penta' flowers. Mia stopped bathing long enough to also watch the butterfly as it paused on top of the pink flowers.
“I wonder what it’s like to be a butterfly?” Mia said.
“Do you mean the flying part of it or what?” Dukee asked.
“The flying and what is it about them sniffing flowers?” Mia said.
“I’m not sure that they are sniffing them. Didn’t Auntie say one time that butterflies do something to the flowers to make them pretty?” Dukee said and then yawned.
“Oh yeah, I forgot… But don’t you think that it would be fun to be able to fly?” Mia asked.
Dukee yawned again and said, “yes, I guess so. We’d be able to look down at what’s on the ground.”
Mia turned and looked at Dukee with his eyes closed and said, “wake up sleepy head.”
Dukee slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mia, “why, I’m tired… I think I’m ready for a nap.”
“Well, go take a nap then,” Mia turned and looked back out the window.
“Yeah, maybe I’ll go see what Auntie is doing and then take a nap,” Dukee said.
Mia laid there and soaked up the sun while Dukee turned and hopped down off the side table. He walked down the hallway and into his bedroom where Auntie was lounging on their bed. She must be working on another story again, Dukee thought as he walked up to his food bowl. Dukee crunched a few mouthfuls of food before he walked over to and jumped up onto their bed. He looked at Auntie as she moved her laptop to invite him to cuddle. Yes, a good nap with a human I love is just what I need, Dukee thought.
In the front living room, Mom walked up to Mia and gave her a few neck scratches before she sat down in her chair. Yep, a nice relaxing Sunday with the human I love, Mia thought as she watched her sit down.
Until next time, Mia and Dukee hope that you all have a wonderful day and week ahead.
