Goodnight Navana

2am aprox. I became aware of a little paw gently tapping on my nose, I was half asleep so I turned over to be faced with two big beutiful eyes peering into mine and a stuffed black rat on my cheek. Navana wanted to play "fetch". I hurled Navana's fav. toy as far as I could to the other end of the room. Not too far when your nearly asleep. No time at all and it was dropped onto my face. I just couldn't find the enthusiasm that Navana had. Not to worry, I thought, she'll soon tire of this. No way, I'm not sure how long it went on, but it seemed like ages, again and again I hurled the "black rat" as far as I could, again and again it came back. If I was asleep Navana would gently tap me on the nose and her inocent look of glee would be enough to encourage me to hurl the "black rat" once more. She finally tired of it all and came and curled up in my arms, she was so happy. I seemed to have just dropped off to sleep when I felt her get up. Oh no, I thought, not again. I was wrong, once she had recovered the black rat and pushed it gently under my chin for safety, she was content enough to fall asleep in my arms. By this time Bella (Navana's Foster Mum), had squeezed up behind me as close as she could. There I was wedged between Bella, Navana and a "black rat", and there I stayed fast asleep.
Goodnight Navana, Bella and one black rat!
