Polaris has always liked clothes, our clothes that is. I have posted stories about how she stole my vest, and the time I caught her wearing my lingerie.

Her latest thing is to sleep inside my sweaters. Preferably while I am still wearing one, which gets a little crowded. If I'm working at the computer, or sitting reading, she will come up onto my lap and try to dig into my shirt until I put her under it, pregnant-style. If I'm not wearing a sweater, I either have to put one on, or else find something else (towel, coat, pillow case) to throw over her to "pretend" she's inside my sweater.

Last night I took a long, relaxing bath. Polaris spent bathtime in the room with me, as she often does. After I took off my sweatshirt, she not only crawled under it, she also stuck her head out the top. And slept there, wearing it like that.

With summer coming, it's a bit hot for sweaters. Maybe I should get her one of those doggy-sweaters for the fall?
