I've been positively worried about Berfert, as he's been really mellow acting since we brought Merlin home. I was afraid that Berfert thought we didn't want him to be himself anymore. This morning Berfert proved that he still has what it takes to make me shake my head and giggle, in retrospect.
Last night Mike's best friend, Jason, spent the night with us. I checked on them in the den/game room where they'd been playing on the playstation. Berfert was looking depressed and staring at the door to the room, which I have the boys keep shut so that we won't have to listen to them in there. Before, I'd have worried that Berfert was up to something as he always looks depressed before he does something guarenteed to make me wonder about one of our sanity. This time I almost let him into the den because I thought he was just depressed. Jason had told me that the last time he stayed over they'd slept in the living room and Berfert had jumped on his face and danced all over him during the wee hours of the morning. I wasn't too worried about it, Jason tends to exagerate events a little for dramatic effect.
I was sleeping the sleep of the just, when something heavy and furry hit me right in the middle of my face. I came out of a deep sleep clawing and shrieking. I heard a thump and a dark shaped shot out of the bedroom door. Berfert, I thought. Jason wasn't exagerating after all. I picked some fur out from my teeth and closed the door firmly to keep the little Have I ever mentioned that QC can open the door to my bedroom? She just reaches up and puts her paws on each side of the doorknob and twists it. Well, Berfert apparently talked her into letting him back into the room. I was shocked awake by the slight shaking of the headboard. I opened my eyes, saw QC looking up my nose from a short distance from my chin, then looked up and saw a dark shaped posed on the headboard above my head. I started to shift when.....wham, right on my bladder, all 20+ pounds of Berfert. I'm surprised I didn't embarrass myself.
I cussed for a moment then pushed Berfert off the bed. After a (now necessary) trip to the bathroom, I came back and pushed QC out of the nest she was making using my pillows. I'd laid back down when I saw Berfert sneaking into my room again. I'll get him this time, I thought. I sat up and yelled, "Berfert!! Get out of here!!" Flipped on the bedside lamp and saw Merlin's tail disappearing down the hall. Berfert was sitting on the foot of my bed, I swear he was laughing at me. Poor Merlin hasn't come near me all day. He thinks I'm insane.
