do you let your pet lick you?

30. Ramona, RIP, used to wash my hair all night long while I slept.

I wish I had a picture of how I looked when she would wash my hair while I slept. My hair is flat, no body, always has been that way, but when she would "style" my hair while I slept, I would wake up with my hair just as fluffy as her little tail was.

Her daughter, Nancy(RIP), would wash my hands a lot. She would look at me like she was scolding me and wash my hands. If I moved, she would grab my hand pull it to her and give me another "be still" look. Once she was done washing my hands, she was happy again.

The way I got Sunday Girl to start nursing on a bottle (her biological mother abandoned her at 3 days old) was to put some of the milk on my bottom lip and let her taste it. She started sucking on my bottom lip, then I slipped the milk bottle nipple into her mouth. After that, she would drink from the bottle and knew what her "Bodew" was. I called it her bodew, like bod dewwww. That is sort of how I pronounced it. She was born in 1992 and just died earlier this year (in March). I still miss her so much. She was like a daughter to me, especially considering I raised her from so young and she was so smart. There will never be another one as smart as Sunday Girl was. I miss her so much, still.
