Oreo, On the Road

Oreo joins me on my lap for my morning writing. She has been my traveling companion this week. Like Steinbeck's "Travels With Charley", this is "Basketball Season With Oreo." On one hand, I feel really badly for her. She's the lone survivor of her "family" of homies, namely Sadie and Kirby. And she loves it at home, with her established routine, her spot on the couch, and her place behind the wood stove. She's trying the best she can to survive here. At least she's with us, and I think she appreciates that.
