Day 42

Ouch Ouch, I have my first earache while on the Island adventure. Luckily, the Captain is also the Island's medicine woman for the four legged walkers because she immediately knew what to do and has started putting medicine in my ears. I try and be good for her, but it is hard because my right ear hurts so badly. The medicine has not yet started to make me feel better, but I trust her skills and gentle nature so I think it will work soon. In the meantime she laid on the couch with me tonight and watched television while petting my head and rubbing my belly. It felt so good that I stretched out long and human like the full length of her and as close to her as I could get. While she was laughing and highly entertained by some television show with yellow people and a young two legged boy who always gets into trouble on his Island of Springfield, I quickly felt her body relax against mine and we both fell asleep. I somehow think that both of us thought of Papa while cuddling and how we wished he could join us, but I really think we would need a bigger couch since she won't let me on the big human bed still (I have long since given up even trying by the way and now have 4 round little beds and my fuzzy blanket to choose between).
