not sleeping with animals

so instead of writing myself to sleep last night, the kids came out of the bedroom wide awake and instead of waking their momma, found me nodding off on the couch after a wonderfully refreshing catch up session (though definitely incomplete) and would not let me sleep... happiness might not have been feeling well... not sure if he ate something he should not have eaten, but he definitely was acting like he got into some meat or spice as he drank his entire bowl of water and then had more after i refilled it and his bladder was so full he was frantic to get to the grass to let it out... much more frantic than his usual frantic... jackson sleeps deep in her white noise so his whimpering and moaning and scratching only wakes her when he is on the bed or when she wakes to pee or something, so tonight he came to me... my bed is lower to the ground and so is the couch and i can be found sleeping on either most of the time... due to his aging miscles and bones, he no longer jumps up on beds, especially not jackson's which is higher than mine... curious just sat watching his distress after she got tire of playing with her toys... anyway, so much for not sleeping with animals...

he seems ok now...
