No room on the knee

We have had an enforced week or so at home because of colds so decided today it was time for a foray into the outside world.

After lunch we went for a visit with eldest daughter and were  greeted at the gate by grand daughter's dog guarding the property.

This is Mack. He is staying with our daughter while

 his folk are away for a few days in Auckland.

Mack decided the best place to sit on a cool winter's day

 was my lap. Not to be left out Sooty also decided

 the best place to sit on a cool winter's day was my lap. 

Sooty has never sat on my lap in all the years

 I have known him, about seven!

There's a first time for everything I guess :)

Mack also usually sits on my GKB's knee, a privilege

 for my GKB as Mack has a bit of an aversion to men.

So don't ask me what was different today. 

I don't know. Jealousy perhaps?

It meant I couldn't move until it was time to go.

 Well I could have but I didn't.

And this was Mack as we left, all wrapped up in

 a blanket because his paws and ears were cold.

Have a good week,

Diana
