Her only job

Was to give me something to concentrate on for the past year. It worked, some. 

She has given me countless hours of pleasure. We are very best friends.  Right now she is in her favorite place. Beside me.  Wherever  I am, she is beside me. I do not let her sleep with me, but her bed is right beside mine. She usually waits until I go to bed and she never gets up in the morning without waking me first. Kind of rough now that it is Spring and it gets light much earlier.

Sometimes she crawls up under one of my couches.  She likes it there because it cradles her.

I have the bad habit of laying knitting needles or crochet hooks down on my couch. They often fall down the back of my couch and into the bottom lining.

I could not reach them by putting my hand down the crack,

So, I had the brainy idea of cutting a slit in the bottom fabric so I could reach up and retrieve whatever I had lost.
Until Pepper came, it was just fine.  The slits were not visible. Can't say that now.  For some odd reason, there is a sag in the fabric now.

All I can say is, who would have thought I would fall in love with this tiny face?

Well,I did and that is all there is to that.
