Miracle loves to snuggle.  So it’s not unusual to wake up and find her stretched out on her side/back like a seal pup, sharing my pillow.  On the other hand, Tulip is much more finicky about our quality time.  Sometimes she’ll snuggle up next to me, but I’d better not pet her unless I feel like making a blood donation.  Lately her little tigey heart seems to be opening up a bit more though.  A few times she has come up and lain on my stomach to get some good morning pets.  Almost every morning she comes up and licks my face or hands when she hears the alarm clock go off.  In fact, I get really disappointed when she doesn’t.

Well, this morning I woke up to quite a cute surprise.  Eve’s alarm went off at 4 AM.  It was really soft so I heard it, but it didn’t wake up Tulip.  I opened my eyes to see the mini tiger stretched all the way out next to me.  Her back was pressed up against me and her head was on my pillow!  It melted my little heart.  I love that punk.  She felt me stir and woke up too.  She seemed pretty surprised herself to see where she was.  It was like she couldn’t stand to be that sweet for long, so she got up and curled up down by my legs.  I guess I have to enjoy those little moments when I can.
