Gilly’s here to stay with us for a couple weeks. Vic, Jen, Katie and Jack are thrilled! Scout, Casey and Millie? Not so much. Gilly’s big and loud and takes our attention away from the critters who live here. But we love Gilly, so the critters who live here just need to adjust.
I know he’ll have a good time staying with us while Mom’s in Colorado, even though he’ll miss her tons. Mom’s had Gilly for over a year now and the two of them have definitely bonded. He adores her, and they communicate really well—people comment on it all the time.
My grandma recently told Mom it was neat how she and Gilly are such good pals but she was concerned. “Why?” Mom asked. Grandma replied, “Because he’s gonna die someday.”
The old bat’s a real Pollyanna, huh?
Cute little brother!!!!
ReplyDeleteJen, do you think he's her favorite because he's the only one she could legally crate? Cuz I don't remember EVER chewing up her books. Or magazines. Or remotes.

ReplyDeleteYour mom is not the mom you grew up with. Face it, she's the new improved, fun-loving, free-wheelin', taking life by storm Mary!
And yes, she does like him better. Mostly though - 'cuz he can't back talk. ;) xoxo
If the Manullang pets need a break for a day, I can come get Gilly so he can spend a day with Augie! Maybe this time Augie will be successful in teaching him how to play tug of war vs. just biting his legs!
