My 20-year-old baby girl insisted I face her as well. She would paw at the back of my head until I rolled over or moved her in front of me. She only started doing that over the past two years or so, but for about five years she would paw at me to lift the covers so she could snuggle under them or to hold her in my arms.
I had to put her to sleep just over two weeks ago on October 5. I miss her waking me up all the time for snuggles. I would trade every night of solid sleep in the world to have her with me still.
She sounds adorable, sorry you had to lose her, I hope you're getting through it as best you can. My elderly cutie pie is deteriorating and loudly demands affection sporadically but I know I'd rather have her howling at me at whatever o'clock than not.
Thank you. I’m sorry you’re also caring for an aging pet. It’s hard but they are so, so worth it! Love her and her howls. Try to get pictures and videos of her! And give her an extra head kiss or scritch or whatever she likes best from me, please!
I gave her extra head skritches, kisses and a treat for you! I think she approved.
Big hugs, sounds like she was sweet
Thank you <3
She was the best! My soul pet. I had her for over half my life since she was 4 months old. We had a great life together and I’m so grateful for that, even though losing her leaves a gaping hole in my heart.
