For her birthday treat, Lula got her favorite dessert: a Yoghund apple and cheddar frozen yogurt* — which she was jealously pushing away from me anytime I got close*. Then she ignored her new squeaky ball to chew on her old toy because of course.

*This is an amazing act of love because the sound of ice being scraped skeeves me to the point of dry heaving and that’s basically all she does for five full minutes with this treat.

Lula loves that I moved our bed right next to the window, and will nap all day in the sweet, sunny breezes.

Love is wanting to snuggle even though it’s hot as hell and you’re wearing a fur coat you can’t take off.

One of Lula’s favorite things to do is lie on her back next to me in bed so I can rub her belly. Hours of belly rubbing. I can’t imagine how comforting it must feel.

Lula likes to help you in the kitchen by lying DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STOVE.
Also, whenever she lies somewhere like this it always looks like her head is too small for her body and that just cracks me up.

Lula loves the second storey deck to sit in the sun and spy on the neighbors, with their sneaky cat and yappy dog. (I’ll go out and visit her so I can spy on them too.)
