Similar behavior

Mercury Retrograde is over. Today my father is getting a surgery done for his hernia. I wish I could have been there for him, but this time they said they would handle it on their own. It's not cancer. But I am still worried about him, and my mom. Days go by with worries and anxiety for the unknown. It's nice to have Rex on my side, when I am alone working or when my fiancé is out doing car stuff or whatever, I don't feel so alone.

Pepe used to sleep a lot by my side. Rex is starting to behave in a much similar way. He is definitely filling in Pepe's duty now. He doesn't sleep right next to me all the time but he is pretty mellow most of the time, and he doesn't bite us so much any more. Rex is putting on some weight too. I try not to get him too overweight like Pepe was, but it's always cuter chubbier.

there is no point in this post. I just wanted to say that it feels good to be not alone. to have animal child who fills my need to be a mother when I can't get there yet.
