The Big Day Continues, Part 3

Ah, bedtime.  Since the day had been such a whirlwind, it was nice to be ready to settle in to a good night’s sleep.  Don’t get me wrong, I was excited to have Luna home with us and thrilled to bits that she was finally here but it had been an exhausting journey today and I was ready to catch some z’s.  We all went to bed around 10 PM.  Around midnight, Luna needed to potty.  (Really, she’s not a puppy?)  So, we went outside to go potty and then there was some difficulty reclaiming favorite sleeping spots because while we were outside, Benjamin took Luna’s sleeping spot and Luna wanted it back.  No dice, Luna,  Benjamin believes he is the man of the house, hence, what he says, goes.  At last, everyone settled in and we all slept until around 5:30 AM when it was time to get up and get the day started.  They all ate breakfast and then Luna went for a walk by herself and the boys went on the second shift.  While the boys were gone, Luna waited by the door for them to come home.  It was quite sweet.  She feels like a part of the pack.  They accept her and she loves them. Their love will come soon enough.  Before you know it they will be huddled together with just their curly little tails poking out for all to see.  Today is the first day of the rest of our lives.  It is a beautiful day.
