This is Griz who has been a guest at Jen’s house while his owners went on a road trip. However, this past week he has been doubling as a nursemaid companion while Jen was down with Swine Flu and Pneumonia. This is not to diminish, of course, the roles of sisters Sarah and Danielle who trundled Jen to Urgent Care, dispensed meds throughout the night, and decontaminated patient, environment, and visitors, but Griz was the sole supplier of snuggles throughout fever, chills, and coughing fits around the clock. Sans mask and rubber gloves, and scoffing at Lysol products, he bravely committed himself to Jen’s comfort, even going so far as to take his meals with her in bed so that she might be better fortified. A grueling task, to be sure. Thanks, Griz!
P.S. The patient is now back to work and Griz is back home.

Ha! Haha! Hahahahahahaha!
Now I'm starting to think about how my cat is a better person than I am. I wouldn't go anywhere near Jen when she was contagious! LOL
He's better to cuddle with than me, anyways. :)
He was sure insulted when I brought Jen something to eat but not him. He gave me the unflinching evil eye until I slunk away and brought him back a treat. :)
