The Guard

Somehow, the magical bowl of water had run dry.  The humans were sleeping, unaware of how close to dehydration the fluffy rulers of the house were becoming. 

The water that collects in the sink is meant for desolate peasants, which obviously is not the fluffy beings that reside in our humble abode.

So it was decided that one strong warrior would stay on guard, vigilant and steadfast to somehow, someway gain the attention of the humans; should they ever awake from their slumber.  After days and days, or perhaps only minutes, the guard summoned what little strength she had left to leap in to the bone-dry bowl and capture the attention of the human attendants.  Because of her self-less act, the human filled the bowl with water!  And all of the fluffy creatures in the land were able to finally quench their thirst!

Tonight I am thankful for this silly picture I got this morning.  Abby was clearly unhappy with the service she received.  I fear the onslaught of a social media campaign on her behalf may be in my future. 😁😆. But, I am hoping that I stopped her vengeful plans by feeding her breakfast ☺️
