I'm pretty sure MAXIMUS thinks of me as part of him, not separate. Kevin, Pressely and I can all come home at once and he will run right passed me to them. He gets all excited when they come home and won't even play with me when I've been home all day. But let me be gone for a night or longer , and he won't eat, and he'll wander around most of the night like he's lost. He clings to me when he's sick or doesn't feel well. I've had him since he was six weeks old. I think I'm just a "fixture". It makes me sad sometimes that he doesn't get all excited over me. But, he can't function without me . Even more so since I stopped working outside the house this past year and a half.

Just what am I anyway?
