It is 9:25 and Cowboy is still in bed.  Though he sleeps much later than he used to (generally) this may be a new "late" for him.

The neighbor just came by to walk our pooch.  It is a beautiful morning.  I opened the house and you can hear the birds singing. 

Yesterday afternoon my friend in the band came by with her hubby and we figured out a way to handle Thursday.  We have to be there early and I don't think we want Cowboy out there that long so her hubby is going to drop her off and come sit with Cowboy and I will go on and then he will bring Cowboy right before our performance time.  One more scheduled gig after Thursday and then a break for the band.

Last night Cowboy didn't want to take two of his pills.  The same two he didn't want to take the night before.  We had a discussion and he had somehow connected the two pills with his knee and since it is all better he thought he didn't need them anymore.  They have nothing to do with his knee and once I got that through to him he took them.  He was really cranky about it. 

Last night we gave him a really thorough shower and I rubbed cream all over his body.  Most of the skin problems are gone although there are still a couple of small patches of rash.  He enjoys the massaging that goes along with applying the cream.  It is kind of a few moments to connect.  There is nothing but occasional kisses and hugs these days and the touching and being close is nice.
