ksmithRumors and news all over the place about shake-ups at LJ and possible impact on the service. I hope it stays put--it's easy, and most all my friends are here. I suppose I should think about moving this blog to my website via Wordpress, which is something to discuss with Webmistress Ruta. When the panic traffic dies down on LJBook, I'll archive my four years worth of posts, then ponder Wordpress.
In other news, King's new bed arrived today.
It's a Snoozer Luxury Pet Sofa, in Anthracite, which is a charcoal grey shade. Other companies offered more of a color selection, but KennelVet offered the best price I could find, and I figured that King wouldn't care. I bought it because he is starting to stiffen up around the hips, his old bed was mashed flat, and I figured he deserved 7 inches of orthopedic padding to sleep on. Because he is, after all, the King.
The bed arrived in two boxes, the main pad + upholstery in one and the bolsters in the other. I wrestled the bolsters into their slots, zipped them in, then set the bed on the floor and waited for King to claim it. Welp, he got up on it, lay down. Tried to do his usual front-end-hanging-off-the-front-of-the-bed, and flinched when he realized how high he was off the floor. Got off the bed, and wouldn't go back to it. Kept pawing me in his "Mom--what's going on" way. Then Gaby started barking at me because if it isn't all about her, she seeks to make it so. Then King started barking at me, too.
Fine. I fed them dinner. Then I ate, all the while watching King. First he lay in the kitchen, then on the living room rug. Then, finally, he stepped back onto the new bed and lay down. He looked worried at first, I guess because of the height. Then he closed his eyes. Before long, he was snoring. I hope he takes to the thing, because it will be a lot easier on his aging bod.
Yes, Gaby will be getting a new bed, too. A Bowser Diamond Double Doughnut, in the "Duke" pattern. I just hope that King grows so attached to his new bed that he doesn't try to sleep on hers, because its upper weight limit is 45 pounds and he'd smush it flat.
