SCRATCHING PAD

When I first came from The Shelter, mom bought me a stick with a feather on it and said it was a magic wand. She said no one could know but us that it was magic. Mom also bought me a scratching pad that lies flat on the floor. One day I dragged the scratching pad over to the floor by mom's desk and lay the magic wand across it and now that's where it stays. If I get nervous or upset I run to the scratching pad, rub my nails back and forth across the top and put my face against the wand. Right away I go from Meh to Raah. I see beautiful colors before my eyes. Sometimes I just lie there and daydream.

When My Mom was in a stew with her cell phone I let her sit on the floor and scratch on the pad with me. Also I let her hold the wand. My Mom agreed it was very relaxing and Raah. I love my mom and was glad I could help!
