spending time with an Emperor

This week I've been spending as much time with Claudius as I can, because I won't get to see him much over the next week or so, and maybe even less than that.  So naturally that means I've been ODing on taking pictures of him, and spending extra time with him cuddling and snuggling whenever he wants (and I can manage).

For example, just yesterday, I knew I didn't have meetings until the afternoon, so we stayed up late the night before that watching all of Guys and Dolls (totally his choice, not mine), and snuggled in bed in the morning until 10 AM.  After he went outside and did his business, he came back inside for some more napping, and then I ambushed him to floss and brush his teeth (don't ask) around 12:45.  We played for about 45 minutes, and then it was afternoon nap time.  Must be nice to be a dog!!

Anyway, here's some recent pictures of him.

 Success!  Demolishing a field of Boodas!

Tired from all of the napping
