Purr-fect

My wee girl Isabelle would probably be described in a Jane Austen novel as being of a sensitive disposition.

Just like her Mammy!

Adjusting from day time activities to night time / bed time has never been something she enjoys. She finds it hard to switch off and relax.

However in the last year, I’ve realised the one family member who has the most success in getting her off to sleep, is Buttons!

I often find them snuggled up together in bed at night, and this last week while Belles has been fending off germ attacks, and Buttons has been recovering from a week of not having us home at nights (we were staying at my sisters up the road while her and her husband were in Bangkok), the two of them have never been far away from each other.

I knew animals were great for stress relief and mood lifting. Hence why they have special dogs that visit rest homes and hospitals.

But what I didn’t realise, was that Buttons purring might just be helping heal her middle ear infection!

I’m not sure the half dead weta presents are doing much for my serenity, but I’m glad our wee furry friend is doing good things for Isabelle!
