It’s Tuesday, the temperature will climb back to the eighties today, and the lone and level week stretches far away. But one week from today I will be in Poland, headed for Dobrzyn. With luck, Hili will be on my chest on Tuesday evening, purring away. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Cyrus stands watch over his beloved “sister”:
Cyrus: I may be my sister’s keeper, but she has been asleep for a long time.
A: So come for a walk.
Cyrus: I will wait a bit longer.
In Polish:
Cyrus: Mogę być stróżem siostry mojej, ale ona strasznie długo śpi.
Ja: To chodź na spacer.
Cyrus: Jeszcze poczekam.
And a bonus snap of the pair, waiting to be let through the gate for walkies:


The two seem to have become inseparable. Cyrus waiting for Hili to wake up. And in the bonus shot, clearly Hili could easily slip through between the bars. But she, now, waits for Cyrus. That’s love.
Yes, she really does that!
Aww! I think Hili is beautiful. ^__^
I feel like the Hili Cyrus relationship is the embodiment of a Basho haiku.
Taking a nap
Feet planted
Against a dog tall.
Awwww….

There were originally two camps – those who thought Cyrus wanted to eat Hili (headed by Jerry), and those of us who thought Cyrus just wanted to be friends. I’m glad Cyrus persevered and proved us right. It’s been lovely to watch them growing closer over the months.
To be fair, Hili thought as much, too….

Good point! 🙂
